Yautja Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Maybe none has noticed this... but we now have this (very, very difficult!) game for our beloved A8 computers: https://bit.ly/3k2R0K9 13 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rybags Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 I noticed it yesterday on the Facebook page for Atari Museum. Initial impression was that it's just way too hard. Took me 15 attempts or more just to get past the first screen. But after watching a video of it on the Spectrum - you can do short jumps which makes things a whole lot easier. As I said on the post there - well done for porting a Z80 game and retaining the original's speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never gave it enough time to get past the first screen, it was so hard, I decided that if that is how it is for screen one then how frustrating is it going to be overall. It's nice that it has been ported, but way way way too hard.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_The Doctor__ Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 It's not too hard, it's challenging. My kid's will actually play this one. Many other games are too easy and 'boring' because they are too easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mclaneinc Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 Your 'challenging' is my 'too hard'.. I don't mind pixel perfect stuff, but when millisecond timing is added on top, it's just too hard (for me and others).. As I said, how hard is it going to be on later screens / levels.. I still play mad shooters when my spine is giving me a day off and the reactions are still pretty good. Not bad for an 'old boy'... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ascrnet Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 published a version for Joy 2B+ "test version by its creator", so it is much easier to handle the two different jumps. ? abu-ntsc-2b.xex 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yautja Posted April 27, 2022 Author Share Posted April 27, 2022 There seems to be an issue with the game. In screen number 4, despite I reached the requiered symbol, the door on the right will not open. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+x=usr(1536) Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Out of curiosity, does anyone know if the first two games in the trilogy (Saimazoom and Babaliba) were ever available for the A8? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
