Happy_Dude Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 for those that haven seen this hack yet ... http://www.atariage.com/forums/download.php?id=12154 Whats the best you can do ? I'm at 1863 at the moment p.s. Thomas, can you make a PAL version of this one please (the bright blue background hurts my eyes ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 p.s. Thomas, can you make a PAL version of this one please (the bright blue background hurts my eyes ) Are you kidding? Obviously not... Ok, I'll check the code. Making a hack based on the PAL version should be easy. Though I suppose the original PAL conversion didn't adjust the speeds, so that the hack based on that will be ~17% slower too. Or I could simply fix the colors for you (PAL colors, NTSC framerate and speed). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 This hack was only a joke, but now I think it needs a name. How about Sadoom? :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course I'm playing this on my 7800dev system (I didn't get that score with a "mouse" ya know ), and it's about the only game that works with my 8k ramcart. Not to mention my only copy of Kaboom! is NTSC so I'm pretty used to the colours by now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 Nope not kidding, open it under Z26 and change to a PAL pallet. I know. I just was surprised that anybody was even able to play (and enjoy?) that hack. I thought it was unplayable fast. Hm, maybe I have to accelerate it a bit more...

Thomas Jentzsch Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 Ok, you ask and I deliver. Attached you find a PAL version (a bit slower than NTSC, for mollycoddles ) and a PAL60 version (PAL colors, NTSC speed). sadoom___pal_.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy_Dude Posted August 15, 2003 Author Share Posted August 15, 2003 Thanks The PAL 60 version takes up more screen space than the slower 50 version weird! Mabye its a "feature" of my TV. My top score is now 1980 (PAL 60) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Jentzsch Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 How can i buy a cart of this? Check the FAQ (Will you build a cartridge out of my hack or homebrew game, just for me?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjk7382 Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 I just played literally 100+ games of this thru the supercharger. My top score was about 1100. This is an evil game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hepcat Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 I just got my CC2 and vaguely remembered reading about this hack. How exactly is it different from the original Kaboom? --Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

overgrouth Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 I can make about 3500 on average with real hardware and a supercharger. Could you change this hack to have 3 sets of levels instead of 1 while. Such as make a easier set from sadoom then after a full round jump to the sadoom spped its at now and from there one set faster? Then drop the extra life amount from 1000 to only 500. That would dramatically improve this crazy awsome game. I love sadoom as is but its ends so quickly I'm always reaching for the reset button.

overgrouth Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Ok this was me just trying to show the creator of this hack how I play on average. I was not actually trying for a high score though I would be suprized if anyone could beat this. 5985 If you need further proofe this was me I can do it again. I hope Jentzsch can make me a harder one. I wonder where my own limit is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
