timdu #8 Posted October 29, 2018 Oscar Thank you for a wonderful game. You are so talented. My record is 1710 so far, but I have only just started playing it. It will be fun to play this over the next few days over the Halloween holiday. PUMPKIN MASTER reminds me of 2 games that I really like: Megamania ( for the Atari 2600) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZyUFe6znwHU and Attack of the Timelord ( for the Odyssey2) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApAnw6uXHcc Again, thank you for sharing your game!

+Lathe26 #16 Posted October 30, 2018 FYI, the game isn't Tutorvision / Tutor Pro compatible (for the 7 or so known to exist). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+nanochess #17 Posted October 30, 2018 FYI, the game isn't Tutorvision / Tutor Pro compatible (for the 7 or so known to exist). Amazing! Now I'll need the help of intvnut at least for sake of curiosity. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+DZ-Jay #18 Posted October 30, 2018 Oh, man! Awesome!! a new ROM to play ... <Start-jzINTV> Oh ... I guess I wasn't invited. <F1-Quit> LOL! -dZ. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+intvsteve #19 Posted October 30, 2018 Amazing! Now I'll need the help of intvnut at least for sake of curiosity. Are you using those "extra" bits in GRAM (bits 14 and 15)? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+nanochess #20 Posted October 30, 2018 Are you using those "extra" bits in GRAM (bits 14 and 15)? No. I'm thinking is the boot code that gets stuck in Tutorvision. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+nanochess #21 Posted October 30, 2018 LOL! -dZ. When you decided we aren't friends? Missed the memo but still you're my friend at least from my side 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+DZ-Jay #22 Posted October 30, 2018 When you decided we aren't friends? Missed the memo but still you're my friend at least from my side I was just joking. It looks simple but very cool. I played it until level 4, but forgot to record my high-score. One "small" suggestion I will make for a future enhancement is to see if you can smooth out the sharp turns with a sine wave modulation of the movement. That would make it closer to Galaga than to Centipede. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Lathe26 #24 Posted October 30, 2018 No. I'm thinking is the boot code that gets stuck in Tutorvision. It's the PAL vs NTSC detection code. He posted a fix a while with modifications to the prologue and epilogue ASM files. They files should be easy to find on AA but I can dig up copies off my HD if need be.

They files should be easy to find on AA but I can dig up copies off my HD if need be. intvnut had sent me the code almost 3 months ago! Please test this, it should work fine in NTSC, PAL and Tutorvision. pumpkin.rom 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
