Need Return Of The Jedi Arcade.

[Atariboy2600]

Return Of The Jedi Arcade Need to be made once and for all on the 2600, For years I seen this game on the Atari ST, Amiga, C64 hell even the ZX Spectrum but never on the 2600 so I made up some mockup-screen shots by using the Desert Falcon model screen to see how it would had looked plus the label art as well, come one guys tell me this a good idea?

[Uzumaki]

I remember playing that on an arcade machine way back in late 80's

 

It would be nice to have RotJ game for 2600 to complete the 80's set. But for authentic sake, someone would have to program the game using Parker Bros E0 bankswitching if the game goes over 4k

 

Next up: Pod Racer for 2600.

[Student Driver]

Along with RotJ, there needs to be an Empire Strikes Back conversion as well.

wonder if u could hack sw:arcade into esb:arcade... esb:arcade seemed like a hack of star wars to begin with :-)

[Godzilla]

oh, yeah, i too would also love to see rotj: arcade on the 2600, but i don't really know how it would do it... I don't think the desert falcon engine is quite up to it.

LOVED THE ARCADE VERSION TO DEATH

 

love to see it on VCS....great mockups Atariboy

Zaxxon would be a good starting base maybe?

I did a mockup screen of Zaxxon from using desert falcon screen.

It's from the wrong perspective, but it might work if you didn't mind the different perspective for ROTJ. It might actually make a nice vertical scroller.

I wonder how hard it would be to program it from scratch? The graphics are for sure doable on the 2600.

Nice mockups Atariboy.

you really think so? crystal castles is the closest to isometric 3d i've ever seen the 2600 succeed at, and desert falcon (as

the only one that tried zaxxon style isometric scrolling,) i felt was a failure. Has some new development combining vertical and horizontal scrolling and creating isometric 3d graphics on the 2600 happened that I was unaware of? creating an effective isometric visual relies on MANY colors on the same scan line (and for scrolling, vertical and horizontal,) which makes it even harder.

I'd love to see this one! Let's turn those great mock-ups into reality!

[Atariboy2600]

Well I made these sprites from playerpal 2600 and if anyone need this heres a TXT of each of the sprite codes

26_jedi_generated_code.txt

[Atariboy2600]

I also made these three moving gif to see how they move around the Speeder Bike Hovering, the At-St walking and the Falcon moving and shooting

[Gregory DG]

I didn't think the Speeder bike bounced up and down like that.

[NovaXpress]

The speederbike looks the the graphic that NE146 used during his bout with syphilis.

[Uzumaki]

I don't remember the bouncing speeder either. I'd hav to dig up RotJ ROM and fire up MAME to see what it played like.

[Atariboy2600]

I did the hovering speeder for moving resion not like the arcade cuase I dont want to make a huge gif

Yea if only theres a user friendly program like Game-Maker to make Atari games. I never can do thouse typing only programing and I may never will

[Uzumaki]

Well, there's Batari but I'm not sure if it's good enough to do detailed graphics.

Yea

[PressureCooker2600]

i just cant get over those mock-up graphics....they are awesome....they look like 5200 graphics....great job atariboy....and i hope someone is up to the task of programming it....the arcade game was the shit....i even have a picture of myself standing next to one back in 84 or 85

[Foxsolo2000]

Serious question coudl this be done with a 32k cart or would that still not be enough? Was the Spectrum version and C64 both 48K or higher?
