Mousey Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 This looks fantastic but, unfortunately, I am struggling to get it to run. I can't see any other users reporting a problem so it must be something I'm doing wrong. I'm using the Atari800 emulator, version 4.2.0, set as an Atari 800XL PAL with 64K RAM. The title screen appears fine, the round intro screen is also fine (background graphics and bombs all ok), but when the Gacek (player) sprite appears it is corrupted. I can move for a split second or two and then the emulator crashes. Other games are fine. Any thoughts? Is it a setting I've missed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patjomki Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Recent versions need 128k. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After getting that working I tried the VBXE version which, for me, involved using a different emulator (Altirra) as I couldn't find that Atari800 had VXBE support. Wow... I'm blown away with how good it is! Both versions play really well, but this one looks amazing too. Many thanks to shanti77 for such excellent work.

patjomki Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Even if it is final I will still hope for better bombs in the "normal" version. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cluster Bombs or Mirv's ?!? Or the holy hand grenade(s) of Antioch ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowman Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 It's fantastic. Both the "Normal" version and the VBXE version. I have only now tried it on the original hardware. No errors noticed. It plays great. Great arcade conversion. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricky Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 (edited) I will soon install a VBXE to enjoy this game, but the basic version is already excellent, I just regret a little that the bombs are black, otherwise the handling is perfect, I find the same gameplay sensations with the version BombJack from 1985 on Amstrad CPC.

shanti77 Posted September 3, 2023 Author Share Posted September 3, 2023 (F+1) Fixes: -fixed blocking of letters from falling out in later levels (On this version I managed to complete all 63 levels). ---- In this and earlier versions, the flickering speed of sprites during the game can be set with the keys 1-6 (how many frames).

Nice to see games being updated this far down the line. Doesn't happen too often. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
