mmervine Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 I had a chance to see and play this on real hardware today at the PRGE...way more impressive than on Prosystem. Kevin was there today and was able to show us some of the things he has learned from playing BB and the hidden level. Really awesome work Bob!!! BTW, the new cart board is coming along and should be ready soon. Hopefully Curt continues to make good progress on the XM. The test unit ran all day today without any issues! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PacManPlus Posted October 7, 2013 Author Share Posted October 7, 2013 Thank you very much I have a prototype of that new 256K board which works well, as well as getting the fully populated 565 board (i.e. Jinks) to finally work with the 128K/16K combination with 200ns eproms. For some reason, the 339 board didn't like them. :-/ Thanks again, Bob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synthpopalooza Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Looks excellent. I'd love to see some video of some of the other levels on the game too. I'm terrible at the game, never made it past the second world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PacManPlus Posted October 14, 2013 Author Share Posted October 14, 2013 Thank you! ...judging from that video, it looks like the person playing didn't know about the 'run' button. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R. Jones Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Wow. Just . . . wow. *notices thread* ("bentley bear is kinda lame; why so many posts") *opens thread* ("Oh . . . wow.") You do realize this machine was designed for two people to play Centipede on? Props. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PacManPlus Posted October 27, 2013 Author Share Posted October 27, 2013 Thank you, that's a very kind thing to say. Here is version one of the manual, please let me know if you find anything wrong. Thanks! Bob Crystal Quest Manual.pdf 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhomaios Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 I first saw a video of this about a year ago, I think. I thought it was very impressive, although your run-through of the first couple of levels had me worried to its difficulty. Now having read the thread since then I'm so relieved, and so pumped about seeing this come to fruition. This and the XM are really going to make my 7800 a beloved console.

+MattelAquarius Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Great manual. Just 2 small notes: -Typo on page 6 of the manual (2nd page of the pdf) says "You can become overwhelmed fairly quickly be enemies this way." Should be "by". -Unless I missed it somewhere, there was no mention of the XM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PacManPlus Posted October 28, 2013 Author Share Posted October 28, 2013 Thank you Good point, I'm thinking about how and where to mention the XM, which is needed for sound... Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thursday83 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 That manual is awesome. I like especially how it says that you can beat the game. I wish they all stated that - it's motivation to keep going. Really psyched to play this - I've avoided it in emulation the whole time so I wouldn't spoil it for myself. I know from all I've read that it is going to be fantastic. Could be Bob's best work, we shall see!

Stun Runner 87 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 this games is better than any NES or Sega master system game. I must have this when available Bob. Thanks for all of your dedication. Whats it like being a living legend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PacManPlus Posted October 29, 2013 Author Share Posted October 29, 2013 LOL As soon as I find one, I'll ask him/her. Thanks guys, you are all too cool. Ok, Here is RC6, and the updated manual. I'm pretty sure this is final. Enjoy! Bob Crystal Quest Manual.pdf 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PacManPlus Posted October 30, 2013 Author Share Posted October 30, 2013 Hold it - I removed the bins above... KevinMos3 found a bug on level 6-5 that I need to repair. Also, I think I have a new 'loader' routine (the routine at the end of a frame that updates the sprites), that will allow for *7* enemies on the screen with no slowdown (instead of the current 5, with some slowdown). This will allow people to see some objects that may have been hidden before due to the number of enemies on the screen at the time. But the big thing to me is the 'no slowdown' part. I need to test it on the real thing, and try to play through the entire game (after fixing the above issue) to make sure nothing gets corrupt first. If that works well, I will post the next RC7 some time this weekend. If not, we'll go back to the old loader with the bug that Kevin found fixed. Thanks, Bob 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
