Tetris programs for Atari 800 question

[NRV]

sure, just unzip and move the .obx file over the running emulator window..

 

I do this over Atari800Win Plus 4.0 and it works

(hmm machine type XL/XE, 64k, NTSC, basic off.. should work)

Yes.. that's real

 

here (with some more graphics):

tdemo.zip

only restriction is that you can use all the colors only in the play area..

NRV,

Can you please tell me how to actually load this file? I tried loading the file using Kboot and MyDos with Atari800Win - OS/B and OS/XL modes. But, I must be doing something wrong because it's still not working.

Rename the file to *.xex, then it should work fine.

Hope to find some nice new Tetris versions from this thread.

 

Fortress has always been my favorite -- love that catchy background music. I haven't played the game for years, but I can still here the tune "playing in my head."

Has anyone played Vioris and sussed out how to get this to change level It's in the top 100 games by rating and one of the pictures shows a load of filled-in rows if that's a clue. Otherwise the game seems too easy and never gets of level 0.

Well,

the music in Fortress is taken from Kemal Ezcan`s "Super Synthesizer" sound demo which can be found e.g. here:

I think it was Fortress I used to play a lot. Isn't there a multiplayer Tetris clone for the 8-bit though?

Ataritris II is excellent for two player head-to-head... as is Dredis; also there is multris for the multijoy (4 player simultaneous - not sure if this'll support 4 standard joysticks on the 800... anyone )

Cute technique. Uses the four player/missile combos as four 10-bit sprites, with colors of $10, $20, $40, and $80 so as to add chroma to a background which is drawn in a four-color mode using e.g. colors $00, $05, $0A, and $0F? Cute concept, allowing all 16 chroma colors to be drawn arbitrarily.
