Very similar approach to yours Seeing the last posts below your post and to #149 explains it all. C64 Freaks always disrupt the flow of any thread that aims a conversation about solutions for the Atari. Not to tell of those who just push their senseless posts about opinions in. What a great mixture. Edited March 4, 2021 by emkay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the first big Prince of Persia , I'm likely predicting the PoP by rensoup. Not all programmers were as intelligent as rensoup. Even if this is a coexistence with the "inbetween" step of the BBC version of PoP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a great mixture. Interesting. Let's have a look at your OP again then... Quote Well, I started this thread because of some lesson not to start to derail a thread, and to prevent from that. If you read the quote carefully, someone who has not the slightest clue about the Atari asks people who don't have the slightest clue about the Atari for an answer he just wants to read. Nothing serious but again attacking .... people... who may give the answer he don't like. "Just my 2 cents... Okay... first: I don't want Emkay to step in, unasked, and tell me, he knows everything about the A8 hardware and only a GR mode 7 would make it possible ......... bla bla.... But ... isn't it possible to have games like Mayham in Monsterland or even Sam's Journey, when using this awesome and making coloful background graphics + lots of softsprites using - game engine? Okay, we havn't hires-sprites but we don't really need them, if we have such colourful and lovely painted low res and colorful soft sprites like in this game. I think it's all about itelligent leveldesign and soft-sprite-design.... Like I said.. just my 2 cent.... please NO another THREAD DESTROYING debate this time. " Even the first sentence doesn't make much sense, and it only gets worse from there, just a lot of self-pitying rambling. Therefore, there was nothing to "destroy" or derail", according to the garbage-in garbage-out rule, and the thread has become zillion times more interesting with a freestyle chat about anything in regard to old games and microcomputers. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the thread doesn't make sense, why do you post ? If you don't understand the meaning, why do you answer? Thanks for adding your pity rambling statement, and thanks to help showing why this forum is more a development blocker than a helper.
