Under4MHZ Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 I know how it was. You had your faithful ColecoVision, but your best friend had a C64. He loved to rub your nose into the fact he had the latest puzzle game and you didn't. You loved your ColecoVision, but you just wished they'd released a new game for it. Well, here it is finally, 36 years too late. Collect the coins, avoid the boulders, fireflies and butterflies. Amoebas and Magic Walls make diamonds too.

rietveld Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 i am starting to feel guilty downloading all these great games for free Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamshaft Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 I've added (I think) all your games to the cvaddict.com database. https://cvaddict.com/publisher.php?publisherid=44 Let me know if I've missed any. I'll be honest, I think you hold the record for releasing the most homebrew games in one year, and there's five months left to go! Keep up the good work!

SiLic0ne t0aD Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Sweet! Thanks for sharing! ? ColecoVision had Boulder Dash, available from Telegames back in the day, but it may have been a bit hard to come by. Anyways, looking forward to trying this! ?

It was always hard to come by, and IIRC the owner enforced his copyright. I know he came by my booth in a huff at CGE 2014 because he saw it playing on one of my monitors. Weird.

ChuckH Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Thanks for this game. I completed Boulder Dash a long time ago so I'm looking forward to this one. I like that you can choose a level to play. If I remember right, you had to start from scratch when you died in Boulder Dash. Took forever to complete Boulder Dash for me. I also completed your Pitman recently. Great game and thanks for that one too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zyzzle Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Thanks again for these wonderful gifts! I actually like this more than Boulder Dash. It's great. Working through the levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had only played these on CoolCV where they work fine but just tested them out on my AtariMax and yes they both have corrupted graphics. Might be worth posting this problem in the relevant game threads and hopefully Under4MHZ can fix the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Under4MHZ Posted July 9, 2021 Author Share Posted July 9, 2021 Can you give these a try? I've fixed a number of issues in my libraries since I released these, and hopefully that'll fix the problems you're seeing. Please let me know if there's still an issue and I'll look into it.

zyzzle Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 One question about Diamond Dash 2: You say each level has 5 difficulties, but can these be selected like the individual levels, up to Level O can? I couldn't figure out what "5 levels of difficulty" means? Please explain, if you have time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikrananka Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 8 hours ago, Lucky Man said: Yep. Those work perfectly. Thanks again! Same here - the graphical corruption is gone. One thing though is that in Vexed the cursor moves really fast sometimes making single cell movements very difficult, possibly oversensitive to the joystick?

Pegged-COL-1.02.zip 16.19 kB · 7 downloads Vexed-COL-1.02.zip 22.13 kB · 7 downloads Thanks for the quick updates. Unfortunately, with Vexed I'm still experiencing jumps when moving the cursor right, and to a much lesser extent when moving it up. No problems when moving it left or down. Tested using a stock NTSC CV and two different controllers. Also unfortunately Pegged 1.02 seems to be worse than 1.01. Thinking this might be a dodgy controller I also double-checked it playing Diamond Dash 2, by simply moving the character one square at a time and it works perfectly. The issue with Pegged and Vexed only occurs when trying to move the cursor one place and it instead jumps multiple places. Holding the joystick in a direction and the cursor moves nicely from one place to the next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pegged-COL-1.03.zip 16.36 kB · 5 downloads Vexed-COL-1.03.zip 22.27 kB · 5 downloads Mahjong and Klondike experience the same fast cursor/highlighter movement as Ikrananka has described for some of your other games. In an emulator, the movement is a lot better, but on a real ColecoVision and ADAM Computer, it can become very frustrating to control movement. Thank You for following up on some of the little issues in your other games not to mention releasing freely so many great games! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Under4MHZ Posted July 14, 2021 Author Share Posted July 14, 2021 Another fix, I left in the too long delay I was using for testing. Once we're happy these are fixed, I'll release my other games with this fixed in them as well.
