accousticguitar Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 (edited) In the 2600 Connection issue #3 it states "There have been rumors of a purple dragon and a wizard. Has anyone ever seen them?" I guess this is one rumor we can consider to be just a rumor. Edited April 10, 2009 by accousticguitar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaGtGruff Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 In the 2600 Connection issue #3 it states "There have been rumors of a purple dragon and a wizard. Has anyone ever seen them?" I guess this is one rumor we can consider to be just a rumor. Sounds like some kind of joke rumor that somebody started to try to get people to play the game more. Personally, I used to hope that something magical would happen while playing the game, and the "exit to nowhere" in the White Castle would take me to another land filled with more screens, more items, and more enemies.

+Propane13 Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 It's bunk. Check the source code. -John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zwackery Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 If you mix the purple with the red Dimetapp, you can see some freaky stuff. The thing is that the wizard actually works for the purple dragon, who needs the chalice to control all the other dragons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accousticguitar Posted April 10, 2009 Author Share Posted April 10, 2009 Did you figure that out after mixing the purple and red Dimetapp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zap! Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 In the 2600 Connection issue #3 it states "There have been rumors of a purple dragon and a wizard. Has anyone ever seen them?" I guess this is one rumor we can consider to be just a rumor. In the history of video gaming, are there any secerets that have EVER taken 10+ years to discover? I always suspected that you could play as the bosses in the SNES SFII, but they changed their mind and kept the code silent in order to cash in on The Championship Edition.

The thing is that the wizard actually works for the purple dragon, who needs the chalice to control all the other dragons. Actually, they all work for me. I control them using my telepathic/telekinetic powers (although I suppose a steady supply of Tylenol w/ codeine doesn't hurt). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory DG Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Isn't there an Adventure hack that includes the wizard? If not, that'd be cool... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandmountainslim Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Isn't there an Adventure hack that includes the wizard? If not, that'd be cool... There is a new homebrew which is about the evil wizard. I don't have a link to it but it is cool and rather hard to play. Wp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

accousticguitar Posted April 11, 2009 Author Share Posted April 11, 2009 And Yorgle is planning a followup to his great hack Missadventure with a game about the wizard. It is going to be called Rhindle's Revenge. I think it is going to be a homebrew. It's going to be a 3 part game on 3 carts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

accousticguitar Posted April 11, 2009 Author Share Posted April 11, 2009 He mentioned it in passing in the Missadventure Revised thread. It seems like I remember him mentioning it somewhere else, but it doesn't show up on the search function. In fact, nothing shows up on the search function which is strange because I know it is in the Missadventure Revised thread. I don't think he has done a great deal of work on it though, so it may be a while before it is done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An epic of that scale would take a bit of time. Waiting three or four years would not be considered too long really. Wp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorgle Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 (edited) I have done a little more with it-- most of the rooms and the room matrix are done, as are the sprites. Don't expect anything soon, though. I'll let out some tidbits about the game: Rhindle finds a way out of the kingdom taking Princess Penelope with him and Dot must follow to a new realm. The Evil Magician hides the Princess's Green Palace and the only way to find it is to destroy the Evil Magician. Of course, he can only be killed by means of a magic silver daggar hidden somewhere in this new realm.

accousticguitar Posted April 11, 2009 Author Share Posted April 11, 2009 Yorgle, is Rhindle's Revenge a hack or a homebrew? Rhindle's Revenge? Sounds GREAT! Gotta link to the talk of that?

I don't think anyone has figured out the Easter Egg yet however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 20 life option would be nice. Still a hack at this point... Thanks for the reply. I wasn't sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wp That's good - I thought the game might be too easy... The wizards actually move at half of the player's speed onscreen. You can lose him on the long hallways by ducking off to the side before he appears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
