I wonder if the Trak drives support 'ED'? Can you check the format density of the disks your using? Otherwise maybe the Trak drive needs alignment.

Mousk Attack was awesome and a great 2 player game - you could be soooooo Evil in it

It was a tad slow but also 1/2 the price of other laser printers since it used the ST's memory for printing - ahead of its time again even though a 1 meg ST wasnt enough

Dodge 'Em is a great 2 player game to play with your brother IMHO - lots o fights were started in our house with this one

I had a weird problem with HH II that my 5200 fire button didnt work with it! It works with other games but this one its very picky. I had to get the Wico out which worked fine!

Ultima II on the Apple was my first exposure and I was hooked. Ultima II had a few twists to it which made it difficult to finish - Find so and so under 'Atree' The rockets and space travel were really fun! Ultima III was a let down to me cause I finished it new in like 3 days - Ultima IV was another story - IV is the best IMHO and most folks would prob rate IV and VII as the 2 to play. Yes, there are character references throughout the games Mr Smith

Wasnt Doom delayed for Wolf 3D - Didnt they do a prototype of the engine and found that Wolf 3D could be whipped out pretty quickly, hence Doom got pushed back so they could get almost a freebie with the Doom design?

All the Ultimas came with a 'Player Master' disk in order to maintain ones 'character' disk. Ultima I was on 1 disk I blieve though (program disk and side 2 was the player master). You had to have your own disk to play since you needed to create a character on it . Ultima I was 'ok', but II, II and IV were awesome. If starting from scratch Ultima IV could take 2 weeks to finish where I could finish II and III in pretty much a day now If you never experienced and Ultima game and want to check it out Ultima II is fairly rich in story and not too difficult to get started. III and IV introduced multiplayer parties which makes management of the game a bit more difficult (IV has 8!) If you have any questions let me know.

Got my Koffi today! But cant play until tomorrow Anyway, Lets start talking hints again

So who is going to hack up Berzerk and turn it into Robotron? Can we say that most of the core elements are in there already?

I also add that this need to be kept private and out of the community boards unless some decision is going to be made to destroy all know artifacts in the Atari History museum!

Damnit mine hasnt shipped - 3 away No talking about the game until the first 100 ship - its killin me waiting!

Questions about BIWN: 1. I have an original Battlesphere cart - Is this all I need for 'by pass play'? 2. Is it updated in any way or just a release of how far the original developers got in the game 3. If its an uncompleted release does it play through or just a few scenes or what???

JagMod, do half the connections work on the thing?

You could prob find a 1/2 dozen games on the 800/ST with the same tile based adventure theme. Ultima comes to mind...Gateway to Apshai........I wouldnt worry about anything. Look and feel, well you might want to alter it a bit

Maybe they should work with PT to ensure new games wont be able to run in the emu...... Sounds like a better solution for the whole community.

I was never great at CC when I was younger but a few years back when I picked it up to play I got 999,999 on my third game - go figure! I thought Laser Blast was the only game I could accomplish that one!

Not to mention stuff on the 8bits as well - Rescue on Fractulus prob fits in here as well - you could shoot at stuff Way Out as previously mentioned, Ultima II even had a 3d maze portion to it - though no shooting Could you even get into games like Battlezone?

They did release Robotron for the 2600 - Its called ' Mr Doo Doo'

You must also love the fireball level on DK then Esp at later levels when the fireball jumps over the open rivot areas - even more random fun

Someone just gave me an Apple IIe LR started on the Apple - I think the bricks should be blue - Maybe with the XE line the artifacting colors shifted again? I thought the XL and XE had the same artifcating colors which are different than the 400/800 since the video was shifted an 1.2 pixel or so (so I was told )

Thanks - I can handle that! But, the compact flash thing is much more interesting........... That I dont know much about - any websites you can dig up for that one? Seems like for $50 I'll have my HD setup as well - schwing!

No problem with the work being done, just identified more clearly.

I just ordered the last Special Edition MyIDE - Now, anyone got leads on where I get a HD for this puppy(the whole enchilada not just the drive).

I believe there is something with the GI CPU that makes it difficult to make 'action' type games on the Inty - The VBI capability in the 2600 allows for much more flexibility in terms of game design and speed vs the Inty. The Inty runs things alot slower and its not due to graphics design per se but hardware limitations. From a 'picture' persepctive the Inty can and does look better.
