+frankodragon Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Here's another game I've been working on titled, Crazy Tank for the Atari 7800. You're driving in a tank on a basic exercise only until you see bizarre enemies later on. Are you going crazy, or is it something else that's making everything else crazy? Drive a tank that's always moving forward, but you can control with the joystick moving left and right, and shoot objects using the left trigger button. To make your bullets go higher, hold down the trigger button longer. You'll start the game with an unlimited supply of ammo and 70 fuel points. Your mission is to shoot as many enemies as you can while avoiding enemy missiles and other enemies that can collide with your tank. Once in a while, you may see a fort scrolling toward. Touching one will go to another "level" with alternate scenery, ect. You may also see small fuel tanks. Be sure to collect as many as you can as you're going to need them for later on. They'll increase your fuel gauge points (located on the lower right hand of the screen.) The game ends when your fuel points have been exhausted.* The longer you survive, the more crazy the enemies get. There are even large enemies lurking somewhere, and will take more than several hits to defeat them. Your score is displayed at the upper left hand corner of the screen. The score resets to zero when the game ends. It's rumored a secret "ending" exists in the game. But finding it may make you "crazy." * While your fuel gauge can show "zero", you may have just one last chance to keep going until the next enemy collision. tank.bas.a78 tank.bas.bin 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fluxit Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 My tank was finally destroyed by a toilet, or was it a boot? There's a lot of variety. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+groundtrooper Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 My Concerto results; The a78 rom would just freeze on the first screen of the game after the title screen. Like gambler172 reported. I tried the bin version. It loaded and I magically found the secret ending immediately. [emoji12] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+groundtrooper Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Actually, I fixed that from happening in the real cart release. Ok cool. I was like all I did was hit the fire button once and I found the secret room. Lol Unfortunate that the game won’t really work on my Concerto I would like to give it a try. I guess it’s off to an emulator for now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+groundtrooper Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Anyone tested it with a Mateos 16 in 1 yet? I only tried on my Concerto. If I get a chance I will drop it on my Mateos and see how it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+groundtrooper Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Anyone tested it with a Mateos 16 in 1 yet? OK I had a chance to strip the header and drop it on my Mateo's and test it. It works fine as far as I can tell. I played it and got in the 3000 point range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColecoGamer Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 (edited) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGxRbZhaRoY Thank you for posting a video. If I wasnt picking up so many hours at work recently (and if I wasnt so tired by the time I get home), I would have tried the rom you posted. In either case: incoming PM for a copy!

CPUWIZ Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 You should randomize the position of the explosion on the helicopter, within a rectangle, that fits the sprite. Top left looks cheesy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
