+Cafeman Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 It is in the manufacturing stage. It takes time to print the manuals, make the carts etc. If you pre-ordered it, you'd have gotten an email explaining everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If yes, congrats. I bet your going to take a long break from programming, right? Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goochman Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Will there be an 800 version? Im sure one of our crack 5200->A8 conversion experts could help! I will buy the 5200 version but would rather have an 800 one - Looking forward to this title! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay2068 Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Awesome! This is the best release in a long time! Long time coming but worth the wait! Kudos! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Helmet Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Hmmm...I preordered and haven't gotten an email. Glad the game is finished though! this is great news! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke 4ever Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Good, I thought it would turn out to be another... *shudder* Duke Nukem Forever this makes me sad but I still believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari Dogs Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 This is great. So, the first run of cart will go to the people who pre ordered them. For those of us that were waiting for the game to be released before we ordered it, when will the second run be ready? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those of us that were waiting for the game to be released before we ordered it, when will the second run be ready? Pretty much right after all the pre-orders have been shipped out. There won't be much of a delay. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shannon Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Add me to the list of people that want an 800 version. Or if that is not possible, something I can play in an EMU since I rarely hook up my systems anyways. Hope I don't start any flamewars with that last part. I have not been keeping up with the development on Adven 2 so I do not know what the authors stance is regarding these things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
video game addict Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Hmmm...I preordered and haven't gotten an email. I thought I preordered through the AtariAge store, during the annual XMAS sale. I haven't received any email either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+remowilliams Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Or if that is not possible, something I can play in an EMU since I rarely hook up my systems anyways. I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for that one. I thought I preordered through the AtariAge store, during the annual XMAS sale. I haven't received any email either. I preordered it last Xmas as well. I got an email titled 'Adventure II Status Update' about two weeks ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 A few emails bounced when I sent out the latest status update. If you did not receive the email, you should make sure that: A) Your email address in the store is valid B) The email wasn't marked as spam ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simbalion Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Alright! I will make sure my 5200 is warmed up and ready for it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Cafeman Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 An Atari 8bit computer version -- I intend to port the game but I have not started thinking about it yet. There is a technical issue to resolve because the 8bit carts can't handle a 32K ROM address unless it is bankswitched. There is no way I will be able to cut up Adventure II into two 16K banks. But there is another easier solution -- but I just haven't had time or opportunity to talk to the right people about that yet. Maybe by the end of 1st quarter 2007? Soon I'll release a demo of the final game for you to play on emulators. I haven't decided what I'll include. Probably a couple game variations.

Shannon Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 The 5200 version is a 32k cart with no bankswitching? I thought the 5200 was pretty much a 400 with some addresses remapped and less memory. Anyways a demo would be nice. Last demo I tried for some reason didn't do much for me. So I'm a little uncertain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, at 32K, it could surely run it as an executable file in RAM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassGuitari Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 I need this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregory DG Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 But a disk version would be so much cheaper and easier to make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id buy a disk Anyhow - Im sure there is some 8bit cart wiz that could help here? _Fandal_ has been working some magic on mapping some big carts to disk. I would be he could map Adv 2 to an 8bit cart that loads into memory (64K machine required prob). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 But a disk version would be so much cheaper and easier to make. True, but anyone can use a cartridge version without any hassle at all, whereas not everyone has a working floppy drive hooked up to their 8-bit computer. Plus many people prefer to collect cartridges over disk-based software. And they load up instantly. I'd like to see an 8-bit cartridge version of Koffi: Yellow Kopter as well. The label is already done. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
