Venture for 400/800

[littleman jack]

I posted this in the 5200 forum as well, hopefully that's okay.

 

Was Venture ever made for the 8-bits? Or anything resembling it?

 

I loved the arcade game, and often played my 2600 version. But I've

 

always wished for an 8-bit version, to take it closer to the arcade.

 

Having said that, Wolfenstein VCS (2600 hack) is very close to what I

 

envisioned it being like for the 8-bits.

Thanks for the link kjman!

 

Looking forward to it.

I'd love to see this finished but there is a big difference between simple animated screens and a full game.

We Finished Tempest Xtreem, Didn't we? =)

But will you guys ever learn how to do clean display transitions without a frame or two of garbage data flashing on the screen?

Well, we all know you are a master games coder who contributes tons to the 8-bit world. Maybe you can share some code to teach those lamers?

Kill all video DMA.

Set up new display.

Re-enable DMA in VBI.

 

It's not rocket science.

Probably the closest thing that I'm aware of is "Fortune Hunter" circa 1982 from Romox. I think that one could argue that several of the "go into the room and escape alive" games are pretty similar, but Venture had a neat quality all its own, especially the ColecoVision version. My daughter and I played that for hours back in the day. (sigh!)

kjmann..

How about telling everyone why you are not answering e-mails and where's everyone's orders?
