No worries. Glad you enjoyed Dungeon. Try to run or cast against the Black Knight and you'll see why I consider him to be a boss battle.

My universe, my definitions. This isn't D&D. Goblins could technically be fairies based on folklore. It's a rabbit hole. The playable character is female.

I regret getting involved in this, but yes, yes, yes.

Dungeon

Dungeon II : Solstice. One of your character choices is a faerie.

I don't own a 2600+, but it appears @Albert has tested both of them and they work, so you should be good to go.

Glad to hear you're enjoying it! I made Dungeon II with the specific goal of seeing how much I could squeeze into 4K (same size as Adventure and Haunted House). I wanted to see if Atari could have done something like it back in the '79-'80 time frame. It turns out they could have, which is a little sad when you think about what could have been (Looking at you Swordquest). I test my stuff on a real 2600, Stella & z26. As far as all the emulation based hardware that is out there now, they all seem to have compatibility issues for varying reasons. Sometimes the community comes up with firmware fixes, etc. to help, but for the most part I consider it to be the manufacturer's problem to resolve.

This is his AA account. You may want to try a PM, but he hasn't been active since 2019. I still use z26 in tandem with Stella when developing. https://forums.atariage.com/profile/19583-john-saeger/

Agreed.

Hi Al, Happy for you. I'm sure this will make your life much easier. On the homebrew front, what rights does this give Atari? In theory I wouldn't be adverse to my stuff being available through their distribution channels, but only if some sort of agreement was in place. I don't want to find out one day that Dungeon is suddenly in the VCS store or whatever without my knowledge.

Not really. Not in that sense. I remember what it was like trying to bang something out in that amount of time. Just wondering if Thomas was ever going to pick up the thing he was working on for SS that didn't get too far along. It was an interesting start though.

Any plans to return to the thing that was abandoned?

David V is @espire8 and there's no way to be 100% sure about this, but I think Nathan Strum might be @Nathan Strum 😃.

I'm OK with it. I released the bin for Cold War a long time ago. Don't think I ever saw a binary for the finished version of the whole thing. Still have a "mostly there" bin I play from time to time. If Al still has "download section" plans for the store and wants to go that route, I'm OK with that too.
