eegad Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 These were 2 of my favorite arcade games back in the day, and I know of no Atari 8-bit versions. And so I thought I'd ask - are there any clones of either of these games for the XL/XE?? Maybe something a hobbyist created at some point during the past 20 years?? By the way, I do know about Fortune Hunter (I think that's the name), which is based on Venture, but it's not very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwiliteZoner Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 I always wished Atari would have released Phoenix for the 800. Venture is a personal favorite and I am looking forward to trying that one out as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtariLeaf Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 What other systems aside from the 2600 was Phoenix released on? I can't recall any off hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rybags Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 It's too simple. 2600 was the only legacy system to get Phoenix - I get the feeling Atari just wanted to snare it before Coleco could get their hands on it. Plenty of clones on other machines but nothing I've played did much for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eegad Posted October 20, 2013 Author Share Posted October 20, 2013 just wondering, since i haven't been able to find any new info myself.....have both of these projects (phoenix & venture) been abandoned, or can anyone point me to new info about either?

+MrFish Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 The guy working on Phoenix posts regular updates about what he's currently working on. It's an easy Google search. There's a thread here on AA somewhere about Venture. Last I heard it was finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this the site you're talking about? http://ataritools.fr.gd/1-_-PHOENIX-PROJECT.htm I hope it's still being worked on. I too would love to see Phoenix on Atari.

I too would love to see Phoenix on Atari. I think he's more interested in finishing the tools for the ST and 8-Bit first. He probably plans to use them for the game projects.

The Usotsuki Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 I've heard ports from the Apple ][ aren't all that hard and there's a nice clone of Phoenix there called Falcons. Can't speak for myself, never tried to program for the 800. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Philsan Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 I don't think Venture was finished. The version I bought (and sent back) had a bug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+slx Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Looking forward to a finished Phoenix for the A8 as well. I remember Phoenix was one of the games i continued to go to the Arcade to play after I got an Atari. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
