www.atarimania.com Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 How about a preliminary intro screen based on Scott Ross' artwork as well? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rybags Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 That might translate well to a RC pic. But the aspect ratio is all wrong. What it needs - cut a little off the bottom, compress the vertical size of the text to about 50% of what it is now. Possibly the resulting pic could be incorporated into a screen displaying the game options. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIX Posted May 23, 2020 Author Share Posted May 23, 2020 I had done this a couple of months back: 160x240 in 16 colors and in real size 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www.atarimania.com Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Looks incredible, would be fantastic as a loading screen! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rybags Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Won't go as a loading screen, too much CPU overhead in G2F or RC (actually, in G2F it might be doable). The aspect ratio change makes him look fatter which actually suits him better. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIX Posted May 25, 2020 Author Share Posted May 25, 2020 (edited) next task is to modify his chunky girlfriend ! this gonna be a tight fit because, as Wikipedia states "... snow bird females are known to be blue and big ...

+Philsan Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 I don't like the fact that two images and two different versions of the game would be necessary (PAL and NTSC). Moreover, the image is below my average quality. Anyway, here's a Rastaconverter intro image. Philsan_Snokie.xex 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would take some redrawing work, but you might be able to preserve the aspect ratio by writing "SNOKIE" vertically to the left of the bird. That would make the picture both wider & shorter, so much closer to a 4:3 aspect ratio. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Philsan Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 As written, Snokie was one of my first A8 game. I realized that I don't have it therefore I searched and bought it. I scan/dump Italian language manuals/book/magazines/software and publish them on my website but if I am not wrong Snokie's manual hasn't been scanned yet therefore I've done it and archived. Perhaps Atarimania friends @Allan @www.atarimania.com want to add it to their awesome database? On the manual (A8/C64) there's written that disk version saves high scores. Is there a disk version that saves high scores for A8? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emkay Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Today I played the game, just because I did read this thread. My proposal here is, if you want to make this .... better, play an other game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to like a game, because the whole thing isn't fun. It is no fun because there is not a bit love put into it. The graphics and the gameplay remind of a beginner's prototype of a game. You die with no reason. Then it uses Mode 5 . But you don't see any benefit. It's just a blank screen with some outlines. Not much happening at all. This is misantropic for you? You know the definition of "misatropic" ? Isn't it about to make the Atari more attractive to others? No chance with this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yaron Nir Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Nice @TIX! I wonder , how many sprites is used for the main character ? As it seem wider than 8 pixels So must be at least 2 and maybe missiles for width completion..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
