[+therealbountybob]

We'll it's all go here in Atariland... lots of new games, a new Pro(c) Atari Magazine, a bunch of new players eager to play in the high score club, ok maybe that's pushing it too far?! Anyhoo here's the much improved version of my game, originally entered into the abbuc software contest 2019!

I have been playing off and on for about a week, but now I am play around with the last disk+ just now offered and now also works with my SDrive Max.

Does that mean the ATR does not run on the SDrive Max?

Homesoft has created a single file version on Disk #449 of the game, not sure if the High Score Table still saves, if it is ran from a DOS menu it may work

Thanks for sharing!

I like it.  At first I didn't like the 2600 Pac-Man sounds but after playing a while I think they work and make sense for the game.

Thanks guys

 

If you've got kids stick the game on f'ly mode [F] and they can have fun flying around collecting the gems.

 

My 6 year old niece was over at the weekend and after trying various joysticks she got on best with the Quickshot which was more stable on the desk, she couldn't really manage to move and jump (speed 3) but I forgot to try it on Speed [5] slow, with [6] for extra slow walking so it might have been ok. Also enable the "basement" [9] feature. She completed the first 2 levels and would have carried on further, it was good to watch :)

 

The sounds are just simple loops by trial and error. I think after a while players may be able to beat level 1-12 from the start having the 3 extra lives for each level,  but the others may be a case of starting on each one and trying to beat them in the 10 lives ;)

Late, but better than never... My kids had some play now and seemed to had a lot of fun. Thanks for this game!

Blocks on Legs:  654!  Almost finished level 3.  I like it a lot and the hommage to VCS Pac-Man is a nice touch.
