Yoomp! Boxed Media

[pixelmischief]

Was Yoomp! released in a physical box with media?  If so, is there any hope of me getting it?

[gilsaluki]

I too always wanted a Yoomp! cart.  Then I just got the Ultimate Cart and play it that way.  Still, a great game that is hard to master.  I suppose you could have one flashed.

@gilsaluki Thanks for the reply.  I have been playing the game since it came out and it is brilliant.  I want the physical box and media for my collection.

I see.  I wish I had the space for a collection.  Wife says I already have too much "junk".

You're not alone. All wives say that. 😅

Hello guys

 

If they say that, start talking about their collection of shoes, dresses, etc.

 

Sincerely

I had one once, sold it years ago on Ebay.  Regretted it almost immediately.

 

Was a nice package.

Speaking of which... have the actual cartridge and cassette versions ever been imaged? I know the XEX and ATR versions are available from their website; but it'd be nice to have these others too (assuming the authors wouldn't mind at this point).

 

I know someone uploaded the audio music tracks from the cassette version already, which are pretty cool.

I thought selling wives on EBay would violate their usage policy....

Just enough for a draw, not enough to win outright, but that's marriage.

 

I am afraid my Atari collection, although far from complete, would not fit into our combined shoe storage....

That just sounds so wrong...

Fortunately the wife does not browse Atariage....or I might get more than licensed out.  (Just kidding, she'd get the joke)

My wife does not browse forums but you can bet when she brings me a tea in she stares long and hard at what is on the screen

Wellll,

 

I have Yoomp, completely boxed, but almost never play the original disk/tape/cart. Instead I prefer the free NTSC disk version, since that plays a bit slower on my PAL Atari. Tape loading takes much too long and the cart. shows a black/blank screen for more than ten seconds, whereas the disk version shows a nicely animated bouncing ball while loading...

 

Since my wife wants to separate from me, it all depends what happens in the next year and how bad that separation turns out. (But Atari is not the reason for separation.) Could be the case, that I have to sell quite a lot of my A8 collection e.g. 160+ A8 carts, including Yoomp and others...

I figure, that's why European gamers often get higher scores than Americans (and other NTSC-based countrymen).

I wouldn't imagine many wanting to sit through cassette loading of a sizable game like Yoomp; but it's always nice to have something like that for the collection (and always playable in a emulator with an imaged version).

 

Too bad the cartridge loading isn't a little more visually interting/informative; but, eh... it's a cart, and it's only 10 seconds.

Hopefully you can work things out with ur wife, and keep your collection.

I just put the XEX on an AtariMax 1 MBit image, and it loads just like the disk (with the bouncing ball).

Sorry to hear CC...I hope things run in a pleasant manner..

Didn't load my tape and didn't know there is such a nice background music, thanks!

[Mclaneinc]

Like the way they integrated the real loading noise at the start..

I feel sorry. Hope everything goes your way Charlie.

Ran into a problem at the Yoomp! website.  On my Win10 computer, trying to download the ATR or XEX files just puts up the code like it was a text link.  I haven't had this issue with Win10 before.  Right-clicking doesn't put up anything useful like earlier Windows versions.  Anyone else run into this -or- suggestions?

 

Edit:  Thanks Philsan.  Yes, it was a browser issue -- Firefox.  I just now tried Chrome, and as you stated, it downloaded just fine.  I like Firefox, but I do run into a fair number of web site issues.

Perhaps it depends on your browser, no problems with W10 64 and Chrome.
