coco and the evil robots Coco and the evil robots

[Serguei2]

Grostesteing and his evil robots stole treasures from cities.

 

Help Coco to retrieve all the treasures.

 

 

In the menu press fire button to play.

 

In the mazes, you control Coco and take 9 treasures to complete a level.

 

When the game progresses, robots speeds up and new contents are added.

 

Here the game: coco.rom

 

Have fun.

There is a trick to enhance control softness. You preserve the previous move direction, and you use it again when the player tries to go in a direction that isn't possible.

 

So if the player goes down and then tries to go right, it keeps moving down until it can move right.

This game plays just fine.

 

 

The only way Coco would keep going down when turning to right, he hit a corner.

 

Coco stops moving if you don't use the joystick.

 

Myself, I blame my joystick for not responding in some games and losing lives because of it.

 

Does it happen to everybody else?

Someone reported Coco and the evil robots won't play on real Colecovision.

 

The game gets this:

 

I managed to fix it, thanks to Digress and Tursi, to give great advices.

 

Here the last version. 

result.rom

 

Unfortunately, my computer started acting funny lately and because of this, the compiler won't compile games if sound is used.

 

That's why this version is completely silent but more playable.

 

I will post a new version once I fixed my computer.

Any further progress on this game? It was a lot of fun when we played it in the HSC.

Fun game! Would love to hear some sinister background music with it.

Great Serguei2 ?

 

I'll try it soon

[mswift74]

Any update on the fixed version with sound?

 

Looking forward to it!

 

Thanks,

Mark

Serguei2 did tried to compile his game with sounds several times but his computer still

is "glitchy" so he can't recompile it, and his last attempt was Febuary 22, 2021 -

see here:

 

 

Can't wait to play it with sounds!

 

P.S.: The link to the manual is dead

 

 

[Serguei2]

Wow! I was thinking my game would be forgotten in oblivion but some people still do care of it.

 

I'll give an other try. 

 

The link of the manual works for me but I guess you need to join in my club.

 

That would explain why I can't download stuff from clubs unless it's public or joined in their clubs.

 

Other Colecovision games I'm working share the same fate sadly. ☹️

 

That's why I halted all production of new games until this problem is fixed.
