Looking forward to trying it! Hard to believe it works on an expanded VIC-20.
I absolutely love how the download is 4 MB in size, a thousand times more memory than what the VIC-20 needs to play the game!
Bummer - NTSC CD32 here - But I am booting into PAL mode like I do with all of your games. Many do not launch at all (Including Donkey Kong) - and those that do seem to not start at all with the Joypad. No buttons allow the games to start, although the joypad is perfectly responsive when choosing a game from the initial launcher. I do have a TF 68030 accelerator with 128 MB of RAM in there - I suppose I will try it without it.
Anything I can try?
Just an Addendum. I tried the ISO file on WinUAE emulating a CD32 (PAL) and have pretty much the same results.
Donkey Kong sticks on black screen with "1 UP" displayed. Galaxian you cannot see any sprites until they start moving, then they vanish. Ms. Pac Man and Pacman seem to load, but there is no button that starts the game. Phoenix does nothing but a black screen. SO far none of the games work on my real or virtual hardware.
Just something I noticed @JOTD666 - It does not work if you boot from DF1: - I have a GoTek on DF1: and when I boot from that it gets me to the screen asking which version to run (F1, F2...) and then pops up a prompt asking for a disk in DF0:
I run floppies images, including your Pacman, Scramble and Ms. Pac Man off of DF1: all the time. Maybe an easy fix?
And... How do you start the game? Tried it on my Amiga 1200 and on WinUAE and it just plays through the demo screen and no button or key seems to start the game...
OK - got the answer on EAB. hitting "5" adds a coin and the "1" or "2" starts a one or two player game. This really needs to be posted here on the game page.
Absolutely brilliant conversion! I do get some graphics corruption when I play it on my A600/Furia/GoTek from an ADF file. It plays mostly without corruption when booting from Workbench.
The ghosts and fruit seem super fast on my Furia, too. Is that normal?
If you need more details about it let me know - I am sure version 1.1 will be perfect!
Keep up the good work, and I vote Dig Dug next! Or maybe a perfect Galaga!
I have to say I would love to see an NTSC version, too. My A1000 won't go into PAL mode like my A500 and A1200 can (because of Denise), so the demo just locks up.
I am going to be doing a video with Boat from Amigos Podcast about games that work on an A1000, and it would be so awesome if this one did!
Of course, I will enjoy it anyway on my other machines, but just wanted to put in another vote for NTSC.
I would guess that your poll on your Facebook page was mostly PAL because most of the people who like you page happened to be from Europe. I honestly had never heard of the game until I saw you on Bills stream last week. (Of course I am on your FB page now!)
