NIAD Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Was wondering is there have been any improvements or fixes made to the upcoming release of Digger compared to the freely shared rom file released by Pixelboy and Mystery Man last X-Mas?

AtariBrian Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 So ... the Digger game is a buggy game that needs improvements but people just want a cib to look at so it is being sold as that ? If that is the case it isn't all about having a cib , but having a good game to play that isn't needing improvements . Otherwise why don't we just sell cibs with cool artwork that won't actually be a real game ... there could be thousands . I am confused I guess . Sorry if I am reading into this wrong ..

You should ask Toby about this I'm not too much involved in CV projects these days, so I don't know all the details In fact, I was not aware of this game until recently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, first of all, you're overreacting. Secondly, the "improvement" I suggested was to fix a single bug I once stumbled upon in the game. I later tried to reproduce this bug (and I really tried, again and again) but I never saw that bug again. So IF the bug is still in there, it's probably insanely hard to reproduce, so it's not something anyone should be worried about. Digger is not "buggy".

TPR Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I actually just played the rom today and I didn't find it buggy at all. I went through probably about 8 or 9 levels and found it played just fine. And I personally won't mind at all having a nice box and cart to wrap the rom around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youki Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 I think there are lot of games lot of more "buggy" than Digger out there.... my GnZ is one of them! In another thread i had asked Pixelboy why he did not published Digger under its own label. He never answered . but i think i guess the reason. I played a lot with the ROM , i never found a major issue with it . I love that game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another *kind of* obscure favorite 80s arcade game of mine. Bomb Jack Obscure???. it is may be not as famous as pacman or Dk but close! ..Ok...may be in the U.S it is different. Bfg did a very great job on that one! . It plays very very smoothly. I love it! I played hours on it.
