Grevle Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 So the Atari 8-Bit Have Super Cobra but Not Scramble, even thoug there some games resembling scramble , I think the A8 should have a proper Scramble port. The Atari 7800 got its Scramble port. Looking at Super Cobra With have many of the same elements as Scramble So a proper Scramble Port for the A8 is clearly possible. So like Pacman Arcade With is a modified MS Pacman engine, Sureley a Modification of the Super Cobra engine Into a Scramble Game could be possible ? Just want to hear what you think of the possibility for this. . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rybags Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 (edited) Possible, for sure. I didn't think much of Super Cobra as done for A8 in the 1980s, the gameplay just isn't there. Like many of his other homebrew ports, Bob did a great job with Scramble for the 7800. He's released source for much of his work (his Moon Cresta forms the heart of the VBXE A8 version). Possibly his source for Scramble could form basis for an A8 version although doing it on standard hardware even with his source code as a starting point would involve a fairly large amount of work.

+CharlieChaplin Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Hmm, how about "Caverns of Mars 2" or "Mars Mission II" ? This one looks like a great Scramble clone for the A8. Just a few months ago I burned Phobos (a pre-version of CoM ) and CoM2 on two 16k cartridges. -Andreas Koch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grevle Posted December 29, 2013 Author Share Posted December 29, 2013 (edited) Yes i know about those, Those resemble scramble but the ship has no bombs like Scramble so i was thinking about a more Close arcade port. Thanks for the Videos. Edited December 29, 2013 by Grevle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akator Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 I know there are similar games available, but I would love to see ports of both Scramble and Cosmic Avenger for the A8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kogden Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 A Scramble port would be cool. I used to play the Vectrex version to death when I was little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark loves Stella Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 http://atariage.com/forums/topic/281372-scramble-5200/ (playsoft) just released an amazing port of Scramble for the 5200. I really hope he ports this to the 8bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rybags Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 (edited) Thanks for the link - I commented in the other thread. Yet another missing link in the arcade conversion catalog about to be filled. Edited August 2, 2018 by Rybags 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mclaneinc Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Meant to edit my post re the joystick settings to say that the keyboard settings are fine and don't need to be changed.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
