2600 Adventure on 8-bit

[yorgle]

I just found what appears to be a port of Warren Robinette's 2600 "Adventure" for 8bits. It apparently was written by someone named Anthony Ramos. I can get it to run on my 1200xl but it is extremely slow. Anyone else have any knowledge about this program?

Dang it...on and off, on and off...bleh

 

IIRC, the game is written in plain ol' Atari Basic. That's why it's so slow.

 

 

EDIT: the Atr boots MyDos with no autorun...so you'll need to load the program "ADVNTRE2.BAS". When starting, the game will prompt you for the speed before displaying the game selection screen. The text file "ADVNTRE.TXT" is included for full documentation.

Thanks, Nukey. That explains the mysterious prompt. I was typing in what I thought were level selections which is why it ran so slowly.

Now we just need to convert it to the 5200

I have seen this before and it runs very slow. I ran it in Turbobasic. I can probably modify this to run much faster with some additional machine language routines and calls.

ok just compile it with the turbo basic xl compiler? somebody give a try?
