  1. checkthisout http://atariage.com/forums/topic/112501-effectus-new-atari-cross-compiler-alpha-stage/?hl=action!
  2. Great game difficulty seems about right...not to hard to say forget it but hard enough to make it ok just one more try worthy :-)
  3. or rather the 35th Anniversary of the Jupter Ace manual was re-published in August 2017, thought the forthies on this group might want to snag a copy https://www.amazon.com/Jupiter-ACE-Manual-Anniversary-Programming/dp/1785387294/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1513131648&sr=8-1-fkmr0&keywords=stephen+vickers+forth
  4. Nope your right, Despite the magic of forth which is your words exist at the same level in forth no matter what you do you have to build your words on the original dictionary so there is an implied hierarchy so the pyramid is correct as it was :-)
  5. I like the pyramid with one comment shouldn't Forth Language Words and Your Program's words be on the same level?
  6. I noticed that Amazon now has a e-book of Starting Forth as well as others - the starting forth one has the illustrations as well which is nice
  7. Forth Amazing to see this. You could almost imagine a bunch of other retro consoles done in same way ie VCR style so you could stack them Great work!
  8. http://hackaday.com/2017/01/27/forth-the-hackers-language/ Thought it might be of interest to this group

  11. Also grab the humans as quickly as you can to rack up some extra lives - robotron 2084 with dual joystick is awesome on the 7800
  12. Thank you Edladdin for a quality dual joystick in the form of the super twin 78 I chose it in my two sons fav colors blue and yellow Not surprisingly Robotron on the 7800 has gone from a great game to an awesome game with the supertwin 78 thank you for a great product. Quality costs money but the end result was my 9 year old controlling robotrons movement and my 7 year old controlling the firing. You cannot put a price on such gaming pleasure :-) Next up for them is Ballblazer :-) John
  13. Robotron in the arcades is one of my all time favorite arcade games with awesome action. Last night I got to wave 10 and around 200k points with the standard Atari controller. Robotron 7800 is the killer app for the platform. you should also know people are paying around 150 dollars for a dual controller just to play your game http://www.edladdin.com/Super-Twin-78-ec-1-002.htm Thank you for a superb game. Is there anything you would have changed / added / improved if you had been given more time?
  14. I think the laser might have a hard time keeping up with Forth :-)
  15. ok seeing docs on archive.org - will compare against version I have https://archive.org/details/Atari_valFORTH_Documentation
  16. not seeing docs on atarimania for ValForth..just seeing the entry and a disk is missing statement
  17. Correct Universe was written in Valforth. I have the manuals and disks for Valforth including extra libraries and yes I need to scan them and post
