Kaz atarionline.pl Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 (edited) Nice to inform that the original BBC Micro/Acorn Electron game "Hobgoblin II" will also appear on 8-bit Atari: You can see first public video on YT, made in emulator, with switched artifacts on, as you can see code is much faster than BBC version: http://atarionline.pl/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=638&page=1#Item_0 Coversion by xxl, Nosty will publish it through GR8 Software.

Velcro_SP Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Looks great, Kaz. That speed should help play value a lot. It really moves along. If the knight could move just a little more smoothly, it would be even better. And if it could have just a little more colors, anywhere, it would be even better. I remember blowing so many quarters on Ghosts and Goblins in the arcade machine at the gas station down the road from our old house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snicklin Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Wow, I love seeing new games like this, though I hope that it's a little easier than Hobgoblin I! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nosty Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Wow, I love seeing new games like this, though I hope that it's a little easier than Hobgoblin I! Yes it is, so we are still trying to make it much harder! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Philsan Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Wow, I love seeing new games like this, though I hope that it's a little easier than Hobgoblin I! Yes it is, so we are still trying to make it much harder! I agree with snicklin and... one copy for me please! (I hope inside Corina cartridge with hi-score / progress saving).

nosty Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 I agree with snicklin and... one copy for me please! (I hope inside Corina cartridge with hi-score / progress saving). No, no, Corina is too expensive for this game. I want to publish Hobgoblin 2 cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMR Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Much harder? I was much rubbish at the first game :-| I can't imagine it being more difficult. i used save states (because i was marking points of interest for taking screenshots at the same time) but i did complete Hobgoblin when i reviewed it for RG.

Too many strong weapons, too easy way... We want to balance it only. Some people finished HG1 without immortality.

Defender II Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Will it be NTSC compatable as well or does it have problems like Bomb Jake? When can we order? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nosty Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 (edited) Will it be NTSC compatable as well or does it have problems like Bomb Jake? When can we order? We will test HG2 very carefully, I promise. So I believe HG2 will work on NTSC like HG1. Deadline is May 1.

pepax Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Trust me, HG2 is too easy now. Too many strong weapons, too easy way... We want to balance it only. Some people finished HG1 without immortality. How about adding an Easy mode? I know some people who "hate" HG1 for being too difficult and I couldn't make it too far either. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll talk with XXL about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
