+Cafeman Posted March 16, 2018 Author Share Posted March 16, 2018 So Cafeman Jr (now 22 yrs old incidentally) is going to help me install a new 256GB SSD , load dual Linux and Windows 10 OS, and get my old drive's files copied onto the new SSD. We are doing it this Sunday. So Monday night I should be able to get back to Adventure II XE. I'd left it alone for the past two months, I just felt burned out, but I've regained my motivation to code and test again! Mostly all I have left is to finalize my sound engine rewrite, and tweak the "Dark Gameplay" option some more, but I do need to retest the whole game thoroughly again to make sure I didn't break anything. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leech Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Is it weird of me to say I am more excited for the release of this over Skyrim VR for PC being released on the third of April? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Cafeman Posted April 6, 2018 Author Share Posted April 6, 2018 I have my laptop working in Windows10 with my SSD. Not much to report on the programming front today, so here's another sampler of David's art. Edit -- took it down. Sorry if you missed it! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leech Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Tease! Not only was I teased by the email saying there was a new post.. but then you tease artwork that makes me want this even more! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+wood_jl Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 So glad you're still on this project! I don't care how long it takes! You're going to put youth in a cartridge (or whatever format), which will be priceless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari Nut Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 I'm glad you're back on this project. I was just going to ask if you were still planning on doing this. Somehow I missed the past few posts. Really looking forward to this. Thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIX Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 (edited) Hello, long time reader of the site, I just signed in after years, to give my thanks to cafeman on a dream come true I always imagined the square to be a fat little knight.. I haven't saw in the alternate icons something like that, sooo how about a couple rectangle monochrome little knights ??

leech Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 I was actually trying to look around for the flashback that has the 5200 version of this so I could give that a try, but I don't think it is out yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari Nut Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Which Flashback is going to have 5200 games? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leech Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Which Flashback is going to have 5200 games? Atari Flashback 8 Gold. (at least it lists Adventure II as one of the games, and that never made it to the 2600 right?) https://www.atgames.us/products/atari-flashback-8-gold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari Nut Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 That's the 2600 version by Curt Vendel. It made it's debut on the Flashback 2. Here's a video... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leech Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Ah, cool! The other one I read about was the Atari Flashback classics Vol. 3 for the xbox? I have been waiting for this XE version... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari Nut Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 (edited) Vol. 3 will be the same 2600 version. It was left off of Vol. 1 and Vol. 2. Edited August 22, 2018 by Atari Nut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leech Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Ah, so literally if I want Adventure II without it being the 2600 version, I have to buy a 5200 or wait for the XE version? . Good to know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Cafeman Posted August 23, 2018 Author Share Posted August 23, 2018 EDIT for hindsight accuracy: I'll give an update soon on the XE version. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari Nut Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Ill give an update around end of the month on the XE version. I'm looking forward to it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Cafeman Posted August 23, 2018 Author Share Posted August 23, 2018 Hello, ...I always imagined the square to be a fat little knight.. I haven't saw in the alternate icons something like that, sooo how about a couple rectangle monochrome little knights ?? knights.JPG Those are very cool icons. However, I don't want to add more icons to the game at this point, and I already have Blue Knight and Knight Helmet as the Knights icons. They are more durable than other icons can take more bites before being devoured, and sometime a dragon hurts itself biting their armor and runs away. More info here, although a bit outdated now... http://atariage.com/forums/blog/618/entry-13636-advii-xe-and-the-icons-of-adventure/ http://atariage.com/forums/blog/618/entry-12309-advii-xe-and-alt-icons/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopGunBBS86 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Bump! I have lots of money set aside, waiting to buy this. We'd all still love to see it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjlazer Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Is there a reason that Glenn the 5200 man couldn’t of hacked this for the 8-bits years ago? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tep392 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Is there a reason that Glenn the 5200 man couldn’t of hacked this for the 8-bits years ago? The start of this project was actually a direct conversion from the 5200 version that I offered to do for Cafeman. But that was just the first step since he wanted to do some updates to make it different from the 5200 version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari Nut Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Still hoping to hear more news on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leech Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 (edited) I've ordered the 5200 version from AtariAge and ordered a 5200 off eBay (neither of which have arrived yet, but waiting...) With the way my life usually works, that means the XE version will come out right afterward... (hint hint).
