Level42 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 (edited) Yes but not many people know this or take the time to request it. I dont understand why an OP isnt allowed to change the initial post per default. Its not only for games but also hardware projects where updates in the original post would be great. We are now forced to go through loads of pages of replies to find the most updated version of a firmware or other information, the whole system gets cluttered up and for what reason ? Just because it is felt that an initial post should be set in stone ? IMHO we are trying to shoot a fly with a cannon here.

_The Doctor__ Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 (edited) I've posted to folks to make that request so many times... sticky in threads/subs likes this would be cool too! Edited September 3, 2018 by _The Doctor__ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashjazzcat Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Just ask admin for editing permission as already stated. I don't see what's so hard about that. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snicklin Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 64K PAL version with 5 samples. Wow, you just keep on producing! I love the short music sequence when you are entering your high score. It sounds just like an Adam Gilmore (Zeppelin) song, which is the highest accolade I can give to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manterola Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Great! We got the ALERT! that sounds like alive to me.. It seems to work in Ntsc by the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mclaneinc Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 (edited) The samples are much the same as the arcade, the 'alive' is just the same iirc.. Edited January 18, 2019 by Mclaneinc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manterola Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Yep... And that's why we love this Atari version so much.... There is a older harder version (128K) that has a "Game over" voice at the end and "every breath you take" The Police song when showing the high scores. That version is also cool. But what is great about this version is that is has all those samples and is still 64K compatible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariNerd Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 I guess I'm going to be "that guy", as my memory is getting worse and worse. Is the 128K system Final version still the goto version, for all of the accouterments, - extra ship colors, etc or has that been worked around pretty much, now with the 64K versions, minus a couple extra samples and the Skull and Crossbones?

tjlazer Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Does it run faster on NTSC? Seems to run ok can’t tell the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snicklin Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Forgetting about the really nice visuals and sound, I have to say that I think that Bosconian is one of the best games for gameplay on the Atari. It's more complex than a traditional shoot up. It has applied some good elements of game theory into it: a) Do I shoot the core of the (spaceship?) to get a quick death, but take less points and risk missiles attacking me? b) Do I leave the (mines?) in place and work my way around those, potentially putting me at risk but more likely allowing an enemy craft to fly into them. It is also good that new attributes of the game appear as you get further into the game. Many games use the same attributes but just make things harder/faster. This game makes it harder by having the new attributes, like the missiles being shot out for example. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle22 Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 I got an error message after a while of scrolling the map. The thing started in bomb mode. It scrolled a little with the wheel, then it started adding a column of bombs down the left side of the screen. I clicked on erase and removed the bombs. A little scrolling later and boom. Windows Access Violation error. The error does not terminate the editor. It keeps running. There is something wonky with the scrolling. That's what I have found so far. This is using the Bosconian image in the zip file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
