ANY INTEREST -- Cloak & Dagger Cartridge labels?

[+Ryan Witmer]

Thanks for the kind words, although I think some of those A8 developers are way better at this than I am.

 

I have three projects in my 5200 pipeline right now, and they're all original.  Maybe after those I'll get the itch to do another port, and I'll certainly keep this one in mind.  Doesn't look easy though, and I'll need some serious art support, especially for those elevator scenes.

This one could be interesting for anyone thinking of undertaking a port - IIRC, the arcade game used two 6502s and a pair of POKEYs for game logic and sound, respectively.  While I am making no claims about this being an easy thing to do, it does open up the possibility of reusing code from the original machine for certain aspects of gameplay on the 5200 or A8.  Screen resolutions are different between the arcade and home hardware, but otherwise things are pretty close.

 

I'm wondering if the A8 prototype would be at all useful for reference.  Finishing it off would probably be more work than just starting over from scratch, but there is some leeway here for doing interesting things with the game.

Ryan, you seem to get your resources on all your games so I'm sure you could manage if you choose to do so.  Tackling a Cloak and Dagger game would be the ultimate 5200 milestone nobody was able to finish even on other systems.

Myself or Ryan could reverse engineer the code of the atari version and then work on the arcade,I'd be willing to reverse engineer the arcade with help from another programmer, it's a lot to do on my own.

If the arcade source is needed, I have it.

I’ll share it with those who need it to help create new products.

You only need the link up to the first question mark and it's the same link.

My brother just found this exact label on a cart at a thrift shop for $25.  I'm curious what ROM it is... probably paceman.
