+Philsan Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 I remembered not to have Beef Drop, an awesome BurgerTime conversion, and I bought it: https://atariage.com/store/index.php?l=product_detail&p=297 It's one of the few A8 homebrews not free (like Tempest Xtreem and Xenophobe) and it's worth the (nice) price ($30). I realized that it's 10 year old and perhaps some new A8 users don't know it. A demo version is available here: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/64887-beef-drop-8-bit-test-version-with-some-pal-adjustments/?p=802215 Video: https://youtu.be/XOOPADe9fQM 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+MrFish Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 (edited) It is a nice game and still resonably priced (I think it used to be $25). I was surprised to see this game on Homesoft re-titled as "Burger Time" without any credit to the author. It says it was converted from the 5200, but I don't remember seeing it released like that for the 5200.

+Philsan Posted August 18, 2015 Author Share Posted August 18, 2015 (edited) Yes, A8 Homesoft version seems the 5200 version converted to A8, with titlescreen changed. A8 Beef Drop and Homesoft 5200 conversion are not the same. No best five high scores, no characters presentation, different score font.

+MrFish Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 (edited) Yes, indeed you are right, there are a few differences. In fact, also, the items that appear in the center screens (for adding pepper) are flickering in this file version and not in Beef drop. Where is this version on the 5200 available from though? I've only ever seen Beef Drop in the store, in the same form as for the 8-bits. Was this just an earlier release by Ken for the 5200 only?

+Philsan Posted August 18, 2015 Author Share Posted August 18, 2015 Here are A8 and 5200 demo versions: http://atari.kensclassics.org/a8games.html There's a game with your username too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenfused Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Note also somewhere here on the forums there is a newer test version that has dropped bad guys spawn from where they are dropped to like the arcade and 7800 version. It has some audio bugs I never fixed though. I also did done changes to the sprite multiplexer but wasn't really happy with the changes. Don't think I ever got any feedback on the release 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+MrFish Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Here are A8 and 5200 demo versions: http://atari.kensclassics.org/a8games.html Well, whatever the case, they probably shouldn't have removed Ken's name. There's a game with your username too! Haha... yeah, I'd seen that before. Totally coincidental. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
