Minotaur 16K

Will there ever be a normal, single xex file version of this released, or an ATR that will work with the Incognito / U1M Loader?

I would like to try this game, but it is completely unusable in its current state.

 

The game is fine. Incognito / U1M is unusable for this game ;-)

- interactive music (depending on the action)

- called on IRQ not NMI, it works the same in PAL and NTSC

- due to an error in the OS ROM interrupt recognition system, it was necessary to change the DisplayList constructs (several bytes more)

- after killing the Minotaur, the environment changes color and without Ariadne's Thread we will not leave the Labyrinth.

- added Datamatrix code generation for HiScore Cafe

- the result tables are stored in a disk file

Have any other 65c802 or 65c816 users been able to run this? I sector copied it to a real floppy disk in my Indus GT and all I get is a single white dot on the left side of a black screen.

 

I suspect this was purposely done to exclude anyone with a newer CPU.

 

This is NOT the way software should be written in the 21st century.

 

There are much better games out there that run without any problem, I feel this isn't worth any more of my time.

The game contains a mass of illegal codes and references to OS ROM. This is a game for Atari from the XX century ;-) It will not work on other CPUs that were installed in Atari :-)

I like it so far and I like the "fog of war" effect. The only thing that's really missing is some sense of urgency. I know that there's a timer but there doesn't seem much incentive to pay it much mind. Is there any way to lose the game? Or do you just keep going until you eventually find the Minotaur?

No luck on my XEGS with the UNO cart. Can't get past this screen....

 

It will not work for me on mt UNO Cart either. The UNO Cart is a bit picky with the ATRs that it will run though. xxl stated earlier that "the game contains a mass of illegal codes" so it doesn't surprise me that the UNO cannot handle it. It works fine on my 800XL via SIO2SD.
