You just need to supply the artwork for the label. https://atariage.com/store/index.php?l=product_detail&p=950 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to have come of interest again. I tried finding it and uploading it months ago, but I dont have the cool image of the box with the gold signature, darn it all. But I did find this information and re-uploaded it to the new site http://www.atari7800forever.com/sk.html The John K Harvey interview and the manual I was talking about back then were uploaded PDF files, unfortunately gone forever unless they are on an old hard drive I can find.

Cousin Vinnie Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 (edited) well... since we all is talkin' Klax and my website, I cleaned up the Klax review from the old, dead site after playing the arcade version and the 7800 version for a bit. It is a weird game but it still holds up well. And it EVEN has a partial image of the golden autograph signed Klax box... oooh la la. http://www.atari7800forever.com/klaxr.html Edited March 3, 2021 by Cousin Vinnie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've started lurking on atariage a bit more this year. Trying to slowly get back into things. The good news is that source code for Get Lost is safe (and still compiles), so when the time is right, it can be picked up again. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's some awesome news. Does that mean I should search for that old label design layout and get back to work on finishing it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cousin Vinnie Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 And because we are Klaxing it up in 2021... here's some Klax warp location information........ http://www.atari7800forever.com/klaxc.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dauber Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 I'm pretty sure I got mine (a repro) from AtariAge some years ago. Just a heads-up...at least my copy won't start without a PainLine-compatible controller; a single-button joystick won't do it. It only actually uses one button, but for some reason unless it detects a 2-button controller, it won't start. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You never know when it might be needed. I've got a hobby I'm working on which will be closing up around April/May-- if the timing works out, I may start looking back at it around then. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synthpopalooza Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 (edited) Does anyone know if the arcade version used the YM2151 chip? And if so, how to get the instrument data? I got an idea ... ? EDIT: Oki MSM6295. It's a 4 channel speech synthesis chip. I still wonder about using YM2151 for the music tho ...

Would be fun to use the AtariVox for th speech also: "Klax wave" "ooooh" etc. From what I remember from playing it on the Lynx back in the day, it didn't say a great deal, but you still kinda miss it.

+Propane13 Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 I scanned the old interview from my printed-out copy and uploaded it for anyone who wants to enjoy it. Note that I purposely left off the cover and a couple administrative-type pages as my best attempt to ensure collectibility isn't damaged (i.e. omitting those pages should make it a bit tougher for re-printers to duplicate). @Cousin Vinnie feel free to add this to your page if you desire. klax.pdf 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found this on ebay and am interested in adding it to my collection! From the research that I've done, it looks to be pretty rare! Can you guys/gals tell me if I'm wrong on this? The seller also has a Sentinel on there as well. Both have marketing material and manuals. It looks like maybe these were produced by ResQsoft? It ends in like 2 hours so if you all are able to help, it would be greatly appreciated! I’ll give it 9/10 if you like puzzlers (like Tetris). You can order it from Good Deal Games.
