bigdcaldavis2k Posted February 11, 2003 Share Posted February 11, 2003 Here's Asteroids VE (Vector Edition) for the 5200. Only graphics I didn't change were the ufos. asteroids_ve__5200_.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Allan Posted February 11, 2003 Share Posted February 11, 2003 This rocks! (pun intended!) Nice job. Now I just got to get it burned on a cart so I can play it on the real thing. Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Cafeman Posted February 11, 2003 Share Posted February 11, 2003 The controls seem all messed up playing it on VSS here at work. Is it just the emulator, or is Asteroids' controls that bad? otherwise I'd say it's a nice hack! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigdcaldavis2k Posted February 12, 2003 Author Share Posted February 12, 2003 Thanks for all the props, guys. Cafeman, I played the game on MeSS, and it controls just fine. Since the 5200 controllers were non-self-centering, you have to press left or right to rotate, then press the opposite direction, and that should self-center. After that, it controls just fine. BTW I use a PiranhaPad PC 4-button gamepad as my main game controller. I also have a HammerHeadFX controller, but the installation software sometimes interferes with my soundcard (my soundcard is one of those soundcard/modem combos that came with HP Pavilion PCs). Does anybody know of any patches that can alleviate the problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Helmet Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 How hard would it be to port this to the 8-bits for better control? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nukey Shay Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 How hard would it be to port this to the 8-bits for better control? 899541[/snapback] No need to...Asteroids for 400/800 already exists (so all you need to do is use a graphic editor like HackOmatic2 to "hollow out" the sprite objects). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may revisit my hack and do an all-new version of Asteroids VE. The only thing I don't like about the 5200 version of Asteroids is that asteroids can overlap each other. Perhaps somebody can hack the game to where if asteroids collide, they explode and become smaller asteroids (or nothing if it's smaller asteroids colliding).
