missile command

Post by bills442 »

Playing atari missile command, and some side by side screen shots with unreleased vic version, just thought I'd share because it was a good time with a friend today and that trash pic TV is sure putting a nice picture out for the vic

When you say unreleased do you mean you've programmed this, but not released it yet, or it's an unreleased Atari prototype?

It's something I've been working on. Explosions and line drawings routines are mostly there and near fast enough to handle the action for 20 active ICBMs at 60fps. I haven't been able to make the time to work on it. I need to accelerate my time schedule for retirement :).

Looks good - eager to see some video when you're ready.

What with this and the BoulderDash news, I'm excited for the Vic's future releases.

I've seen clips of people playing Missile Command on the Atari 2600 using an Amiga mouse, would such a thing be possible on the Vic?

Fantastic!

I hope this gets released and is entered in the Things We want to see / hear competition on Denial.
