You can mention that the 6502 source will be released along with the game.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15958965170878448339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17487316.post-1159895680442277342006-10-03T17:14:00.000+00:002006-10-03T17:14:00.000+00:00I was searching for a site about some Polish coder...I was searching for a site about some Polish coders converting IK+ from C64 to Atari 8bit. Finally, I found it but more interestingly, I ran across lots of cool Atari 8bit sites. I knew it was a very popular machine in Poland but I didn't know that there's still such a strong scene.<BR/><BR/>This one should be of special interest to you, even if it's in Polish. It does have several screen shots :)<BR/><BR/>http://atari.online.pl/v01/index.phtml?subaction=showfull&id=1156889024&archive=&start_from=&ucat=1&ct=nowinki<BR/><BR/>Just like on plus/4 there have been some "break throughs" on the Atari 8bit machines recently (last couple of years, that is ;) ). New techniques, hardware tricks etc...<BR/><BR/>As I read in some forums not many games have been released, though, since it's quite a difference between a demo and a game. If it's ok with you I'll post a link on a polish forum to the XeO3 site. It might get some ppl interested in Your game.<BR/><BR/>Later,<BR/>ChickenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17487316.post-1159892381032227522006-10-03T16:19:00.000+00:002006-10-03T16:19:00.000+00:00Well, like I said...I doubt its gonna happen. I co...Well, like I said...I doubt its gonna happen. I could do that as well... but since its a rewrite, thats probably taking it a bit far; the only thing that would survive would be the paths... everything else would have to be redone.<BR/><BR/>But, one the source is released, other folk can do it if the like.... or port it to another 6502 machine.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15958965170878448339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17487316.post-1159889594201043442006-10-03T15:33:00.000+00:002006-10-03T15:33:00.000+00:00If somebody does a Spectrum port, what about an Am...If somebody does a Spectrum port, what about an Amstrad (or even MSX) port then? :) Many Amstrad games have Spectrum graphics which is a shame compared to what they really could do but it's better then nothing. And it's Z80, too, so not everything has to be rewritten from scratch once a Spectrum port ist done.<BR/><BR/>And there are some Atari 8Bit freaks around, too :) Fortunately, that's 6502 again :D<BR/><BR/>If you really really want a multiplatform release, I think it's possible. Though, in a very egoistic way I care most about the plus/4 version to be finished ;)<BR/><BR/>Later,<BR/>ChickenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17487316.post-1159863082881540392006-10-03T08:11:00.000+00:002006-10-03T08:11:00.000+00:00:)Just before leaving to go to Boston a few months...:)<BR/><BR/>Just before leaving to go to Boston a few months back, I was showing Russell the progress we'd made and he got all excited and started playing with Spectrum stuff again. He's actually written a spectrum game before so knows Z80+machine quite well. (http://www.worldofspectrum.org/infoseek.cgi?regexp=^Zone+Trooper$&pub=^Game+Busters$)<BR/><BR/>It would be soooo cool to be able to do a multiplatform release of a game, it hasn't happened on these machines for 15 years! :D<BR/><BR/>But I wouldn't hold you're breath - he has less time than I do!Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15958965170878448339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17487316.post-1159855980308773252006-10-03T06:13:00.000+00:002006-10-03T06:13:00.000+00:00Spectrum?
