Yaron Nir Posted July 20, 2020 Author Share Posted July 20, 2020 Hoaxer team is back again with a new update. wonderboy.car this is now considered to be a playable demo wonderboy can: 1. collect egg to turn into axe 2. throw axe 3. collect fruits (to gain points and power life) 4. die when touch skulls or fires 5. stumble when hit a rock 6. die when fall to death 7. collide properly with terrain 8. if you die you start from last flag ("sign") you have crossed i am not publishing a full release notes with what works and what doesn't (bug) as this is not a release candidate version but just an interim one. enjoy. oh, try to complete level and shoot all enemies. just before you complete the level "goal" sign, snap your screen and paste the result here. let's see who has the highest score.... 16 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+skr Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 I´m stuck here. How am I supposed to reach the next column here? Seems like I´m missing 3 pixels to jump behind the next fire. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yaron Nir Posted July 21, 2020 Author Share Posted July 21, 2020 Well, for those who are not familiar with the arcade game, if you hold down fire button and keep it pressed , then jump - you jump higher so when you get stuck on that terrain you need a higher jump to continue 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emkay Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Could you please do the world a favor and fix the tune during gameplay? It's such a simple tune. Pokey could replay that using 16 Bit resolution. Particular if a song is that repetitive, the dodging of notes gets more and more disturbing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIX Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Hey, Just to inform you that there are new (much better) versions of the skull/fire/signs/ice blocks not yet incorporated ? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thnx for the hint, so here´s my first try (emulator only, will fire up the real thing now ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is the game demo? you like it? nice graphics ? playable? a never seen before platform game ? hard and challenging to develop ? anything positive coming from your end ? 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t tell you score can be higher so it means either you did t collect all objects and or didn’t kill all skulls the level is challenging to complete , ive done this on purpose as I don’t want this to be an easy game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+skr Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Haha, as said: First try and on Emulator. I don´t like playing on emulators, so I actually didn´t kill all skulls, just wanted to see the whole Level first. For real scores, I need a real machine and a joystick. Both are warming up next to me. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McKong Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 This looks great and is very playable. Wonder Boy was one of my favourite C64 games and this looks like it's going to be better than that version. Thanks for all the hard work 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to play this on real hardware but I am currently on vacation, so I can‘t check it out. However, since the Demo is distributed as a cart image, I assume I won‘t be able to anyways. I have recently installed an Ultimate 1MB. I understand that you can reflash the Basic Roms and the Missile Command ROM of the XEGS into the Ultimate Firmware. I haven’t played with this functionality (yet), but I assume that there are some restrictions like image size, etc, that would need to match.

These U1MB slots are limited to 8K, non-banswitched cartridge ROMs. I haven’t played this WIP game so I don’t know how large the .CAR file is, but I’m guess bigger than 8K.
