BoredQuest (WIP)

Recommended Posts

Torr was planning to play some Fortnite, but his PS5 is installing a massive system update. Since he has time to kill, he thought he'd dig out his trusty Atari 2600 and play some of his old favorites. But it's been a while since the last time he hooked it up, and now his Atari stuff is scattered around the house. Before he can play, he'll have to find his VCS, joystick, power supply and game cartridges and bring them back to the TV.

In this game, you control Torr. Move him through the rooms of the house to find everything he needs to play some Yars' Revenge. To collect each item, you'll need to finish a minigame. (Well, eventually. Right now only 2 of the minigames are in the game, and they're a little rough around the edges still. You can just grab the power supply and cartridge without playing a minigame.) Once you have all four items, bring them to the TV room and touch the TV. And that's it. The game ends. You don't get a jewel-encrusted joystick or anything like that.

 

This is still a work in progress. In addition to adding to more minigames, I want to improve the item location randomization and possibly add some sort of rating system that awards you stars when you finish based on how long it takes and how many times you have to play the minigames. Maybe a fifth item if I have room and can think of something (manual? snacks?).

Fun stuff, looking forward to seeing the other minigames!

A fifth item? I think there was a lack of this essential retro item to hook up an Atari on vintage TV. As a bonus you would be honoring inventor Allan Alcorn.

Just had a quick go. How do I complete the VCS minigame, please? I get that I'm having to go inbetween the two posts and go through when my path isn't blocked, but it doesn't seem to end. I figured it would end after a few passes through. Thanks.

For path (Between 2 posts), you need to run all way from bottom to top without being blocked. ;)

add "from bottom"...
