Skarrj Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 So I just picked up a nice boxed copy of this. There seems to be very very little info about it other than a few paragraphs in some magazine articles. Any place I can find some more info about it? Is there a way around the 5 level limit?

+CharlieChaplin Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Well, if you need the instructions, they can be found here: http://www.atarimania.com/game-atari-400-800-xl-xe-arcade-machine-_309.html Alas, creating a game with the Arcade Machine takes a looonng time and most games look (and play!) quite similar. The programs usage can be compared to the PCS where most pinballs take a long time to create but are quite boring regarding gameplay. There are already a couple of games available which had been created with the arcade Machine, e.g.: http://www.atarimania.com/list_games_atari-400-800-xl-xe-arcade-machine_devlanguage_1_8_G.html Simply download and play / test them. I do not know of a way to get around the 5 level limit, but maybe others can help here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Westphal Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 I think it's mostly shooters you can make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
