Hugohunt - some more infos on the release

[StefanD]

Hi,

 

I'm the author of the original Hugohunt game for the Atari 800 XL, written in 1985. Here are some more infos on the game:

 

The original game has 9 levels. The 2600 version was ported by Angelsoft and has new levels due to the hardware limitations of the 2600: All levels are now mirrored and at most 2 large items per line in the Labyrinth are possible. There is a version with 7 levels (4K) for the intermediate player and a version with a second set of 7 levels (8K) for the skilled player. Each comes in a PAL version and a NTSC version with reduced screen height. I designed levels 1, 2, 5, 6 and 7 of the second level set and Angelsoft all other levels.
