+Allan Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Anytime guys. Hopefully I'll have another release for you guys soon... Could you get those pics from the latest version of Tempest you were talking about in the other thread. Thanks, Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutchman2000 Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 (edited) Allan- There's not really much to show, but I also don't have any webspace to hold them. The game looks the same just the engine running it is different. Edited April 9, 2007 by Dutchman2000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only asked because you had mentioned that you were going to do that. Keep up the great work. I think Tempest will be one of the top best 5200 games when it's done.

landondyer Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 > Special thanks go out to Landon Dyer, who programmed the 5200/8-bit > version of Super Pac-Man, for allowing the release of these binaries. A couple of nits: 1. I did the 8-bit version of this (somebody else did the port to the 5200. Since the chipsets were essentially the same, I assume this was just changing some equates for register locations and integrating the different controller). 2. I didn't have anything to do with releasing binaries (they almost certainly leaked from the duping lab). I always felt that the difficulty maxed-out around level twenty or so, whereupon you could play until you got bored. Anyway, it was fun to write. Cheers. -landon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shannon Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 When talking about releasing binaries I'm sure he meant the final versions. Not the ones that got leaked back when Tramiel took over. Either way I'm glad it managed to escape out to the public, along with a few other non-released 8-bit/5200 titles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutchman2000 Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Just so you know guys, these binaries were compiled without the protection scheme. So they can be used on multi-carts with no problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenfused Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 now if we just had source code for a 7800 port... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Zeptari Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 now if we just had source code for a 7800 port... How about a 2600 version? -Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 now if we just had source code for a 7800 port... How about a 2600 version? -Rick That might actually exist. Some internal Atari docs put the 2600 version at 5%, which probably isn't more than some kernel work but still... Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
