MetaLLamas 5200?

[Heaven/TQA]

as some of you might now i have moved code from VIC-20 Game MetaLLamas to the Atari800. As the Game itself is a 3,5kb game plus Atari-"Framework" overhead i just thought about why not bringing that game to 5200?

 

BUT can you please check the game at http://www.atariage.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=119664 and have a thought about the controls via the 5200 sticks... are they good enough for such a game?

 

thanks for your feedback.

Of course. Nothing weird or unusual in MetaLLama's controls. It should work with no problem. It would be nice to see it on the 5200.

There are a number of people on here that can help you.

 

Plus some of the docs that you'll need are here in the Technical Documents/Atari 5200 "Pam" Package Technical Documents Manual section/pdf.

There is more in the 5200 programming section here but unfortunetly the search function is not working now.

Careful, that Minter guy doesn't like his games being sold. That's what he told me many years ago when I started work on an ill-fated PC conversion of Gridrunner.
