Sprybug Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 This kind of game would be doable in Batari BASIC using the multisprite kernel. Something I've been wanting to try, but the fixed playfield in ROM thing always had me not use it. Can't make a scrolling game with it. However, this kind of game would be able to take advantage of it since the playfields would all be set and wouldn't move. This kind of game is on the list for a possible future homebrew. But one at a time. I've got Zippy to finish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But one at a time. I've got Zippy to finish. I think it would be *kinda* doable. Isn't smash bros is a 4 player game? I've tried multiple methods of flicker management (including random assignment of player0 per frame) to no great result. Another trick batari used in his RallyB example was to use missiles as the sprites body. Missiles are only one sprite tall in the multi-sprite kernel though. Ack! Two player would be easy peasy.

I've never played around with the Multipsrite Kernel so I don't know how bad the flicker is. Of course it'd be a two player game, but don't forget the other AI players. One on one is fine sometimes, but I like it when you have 2 real players and at least 1 other CPU Player. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philflound Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 (edited) Definitely the duck dragon from Adventure. Have to add Superman and Indiana Jones. The smiley face from Venture. Mario and Luigi of course. I'd go with a gunfighter from Outlaw. Maybe a couple of the Space Invaders. Yar. The bomber from Kaboom. Cop from Keystone Kapers. Definitely a Smurf. Popeye, Frogger, and Q*Bert. And for the fun of it, add Michael Meyers and Leatherface. Phil Edited June 18, 2013 by Philflound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syntaxerror999 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Lets see... Well theyd have to have some iconic value and if its a game with a high and low strike zone, many atari characters just wouldnt do. Also how would they attack? Be kind if boring if characters like Yar just shot bullets. But all that aside here are some of my ideas... Adventure character-attacks with sword and summons bat for power ups. Berzerk character - dodges projectiles and can summon evil otto. Haunted house- can stun opponents by blinding them with matches. Pitfall hary - can summon a croc swamp Swordquest character - not too familiar with the items in this game, but theres enough to have some good abilities. Yar - summons the quotle cannon. Jumps like other opponents but flies when using the cannon. Basic attack is the wall nibble. Astroids ship - like yar only flies when using special abbility, Astroid shower. Can teleport. ET - bores you to death HERO - Plants tnt. Limited flight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
