Adventure II cartridge plans

[+Cafeman]

I am investigating the details of porting Adventure II from 5200 to an A8 cart. Doing this will require Bryan's special board so that I won't need to reprogram the game in a bank switched version.

 

But I need to know if there is any interest at all in anyone purchasing an Adventure II cart (probably with manual, and maybe a box too if they don't sell out on 5200 side) for the Atari 8bit computer line. If I get very few people interested, I don't know that it'd be worth the effort. So this is a call out to gauge interest. If I get little interest, I might just port the game to a disk image for the A8 which is a bit easier.

 

Adventure II 8bit cart won't run on the Atari400 or on non-32K RAM machines, according to Bryan (maybe you can clarify that).

 

Lemme know!

I would be interested in a cart. By "disc image" do you mean an atr image that would work with the APE emulator? If so, would that be cheaper than a cart?

[tjb]

I'm interested in purchasing an 8-bit cart or file version. Basically I'd buy it in any form you choose to distribute it in.

I'll buy a boxed A8 homebrew.

[SeaGtGruff]

I'd be interested in an XE-compatible cartridge.

Same here! An ATR would be nice too. (Bought the 5200 already)

[Atari-Jess]

I would be happer with a disc image, cartridges are nice, but I find that I play more disc games on sio2pc and what not than anything else.

 

as long as it works on an 800 I'm fine.

I would buy it on cart for my 800 if it does come out.

[miker]

Why cart only? ATR/XEX are more usable (just as Atari-Jess mentioned above).

Disk image.

 

BTW, I played the demo version and enjoyed it but found the intro screen with standard Atari font pretty ugly. If a port does appear, I really hope this part is rewritten to 2007 standards

I would be interested. If not priced at USD 100, but sub 40 somewhere. And box and manual, that would rule!

 

I'd pay for an ATR too, but not the same amount as a cart of course!

 

Take Atarian care

[Heaven/TQA]

miker... simply because carts are "real" while ATR are "virtual"...

 

i would vote for Cart or 5,25 disc... a 5,25 release is dream of mine for beyond evil anyway...

[retrobits]

I would buy a cart if it works on the 800. Looks like a great game...

I actually find that cartridges are more convenient. That way I don't have to fire up the pc, start APE, and load the image. Either one would work though.

[jaybird3rd]

I'd gladly buy an Adventure II cartridge (probably two, in fact).

[Beetle]

I like to see a release as atr, because i can put it on a real floppy disk, my real CF card and read it with my real 1001 into my real 1250XLD

For those who like (and can afford the shipping) you can release the disk in a nice retail box.

 

But go for the cart, anyway, if you like. You can release the rom file, too (perhaps later). One might want put it on their (real, too) Maxflash carts or S/XEGS Ramcart.

Count me in for a cart version!

[Bunsen]

...interested...

[Goochman]

Yes - any format

 

Cart and manual are all that I require if it would keep costs down - not much of a box collector

[jdh]

A cart with manual would be awesome!

[accousticguitar]

A floppy wouldn't work for me; I don't have a disk drive.

[bjk7382]

I would buy a cart version if they were released.

[vdub_bobby]

I'd buy a cart.

[danwinslow]

I'd buy one.

[Paranoid]

You can count me in.
