TIX Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Hey guys ! Thinking about making an arcade makeover of Bump 'n' Jump.. By the way, when the buggy jumps was it always so glitchy ? or my memory fails ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelboy Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 If by "glitchy" you mean parts of the car sprites flickering randomly while you jump, yeah, that's normal. Good old 4-sprites-per-scanline limit. Personally, I don't think this game needs a makeover. But if you're into hacking this game, why not turn the player's car into KITT from Knight Rider? That'd be a hoot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcusFrom1982 Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 I agree that that released version stands solid. I love it but if a better version is offered i would play the crap out of it as well 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIX Posted June 1, 2019 Author Share Posted June 1, 2019 (edited) Hello, while scribbling away, I branched out to a different direction.. the game now is called "Death Race 2000" and it will feature all the old favorites (Frankenstein, Bull, Buzz Bomb, ...) I will also try to edit various aspects of the game to fit the mood of the movie ! It is a work in progress, we'll see..

1980gamer Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 "Death Race 2000" I like this better.... Plus a great home version is already available on the Intellivision. Coleco planed an Intellivision Expansion Module I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIX Posted June 2, 2019 Author Share Posted June 2, 2019 (edited) interesting, I didn't know about Intellivision Death Race.. Back to the hack, since the movie cars are only five, I have to improvise for the remaining five ! One of them will definitely be a modified scull and crossbones truck from the original Bump 'n' Jump. So, four more to figure out.. any suggestions are welcomed. oh the protagonist will be Frankenstein's monster car Edited June 2, 2019 by TIX 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIX Posted June 6, 2019 Author Share Posted June 6, 2019 (edited) ok here is the closest I can get, reproducing the original 5 cars in glorious 16x16 pixels ! From left to right, we have: Lion, Machine Gun, Buzz Bomb, Bull, Monster ! I'm currently having problem changing the colors around.. but we'll come to that later.

artrag Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Sorry but this time finding how colors are stored is not easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIX Posted June 6, 2019 Author Share Posted June 6, 2019 ..bummer well never mind I will rearrange the cars to fit the existing colors I guess then I must change the hero, can't have a red monster car.. but what you gonna do ? I hoped at least we could have black as the second color to all sprites, some of the combinations available, are really ugly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIX Posted June 9, 2019 Author Share Posted June 9, 2019 Scratch that.. it was never going to work with these colors.. Maybe I'll return to my original idea for arcade perfect sprites, but that have to wait. On to other things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
