PacMania For 8-Bit

[Goochman]

Zoo Keeper, Venture

No doubt, it's amazing that Venture never found it's way to the 8-bit ain't it.

 

Speaking of which did anyone ever convert Adventure II over form the 5200?

Hello,

 

I think that there's plenty of Pacman games around. How about doing Galaga? Thanks.

Hear, hear! I'd love to see (and would buy) a Galaga conversion...

Amazing and a damn crime. Venture has to be one of the most underrated video games. At least in my area growing up I never once had an issue of waiting in line for this game. Good times.

Hello.

 

A little bit out of this topic (PACMANIA on A8):

 

Do you know why Pac-Man have the Eyes Red, when all the Enemys have them Yellow:

 

 

I know the answer but I give you 1hour to answer.

 

Greetings.

Is it so that the enemies can use the same colour as Pac-Man's body? And then Pac-Man reuses the red from Blinky?

 

This way it reduces the number of colours on screen???

Maybe PacMan's red eyes explain his constant need to be munching?

[+Philsan]

I think eating too many pills is the cause of red eyes.

I always assumed he was drunk...

[ThomSW]

I bet he's really angry bcoz José has stopped his works on Last Ninja.

 

:D :D

[José Pereira]

No C64 user here now?

I'll give you more 5minutes.

 

Untill there...

No, I didn't.

 

Better things (A8 things) came up

 

 

So, I'll say:

C64 Sprites can have 3colours in 2:1 resol. But 2 must be the same in all three sprites (here they are yellow and Black).

Than the third colour can different in the 8Sprites.

But a problem here. This colour can be only one of 8colours (the byte that is enabled by the Multic.Sprites). So, Yellow is one the 8colours not doable in Multicoloured sprites.

They have to put one of the 8left colours.

 

 

 

No joke now. It was just a technical question

Oops, sorry José, you're a bit wrong there

 

Multicolour sprite specific colour can be ANY of the 16 colours. It's multicolour char mode that has the 8 colour limit.

 

Basically snicklin was right all along

Which reminds me of an old tag-line...

 

 

"If Pac-Man would have affected us as kids, we'd all be running around in darkened rooms, eating magic pills and listening to repetitive electronic music...."

That was a good one.

Well, if this turns into a wishlist, I'd like to see:

 

Time Pilot

Bosconian

Phoenix

 

(and these are just the arcade classics that immediately spring to mind).

Pete.... one of my Vapowares... search the Atariage forum for "heaven" and "time pilot"...

 

Time Pilot should be definitly managable on A8 as see Zone Ranger...

 

Discussed there as well using underlays for color up the player sprite.

[Heaven/TQA]

oops... more than 8 years gone?
