....the brilliant program KiddEd comes along. With that, I was able to realise my vision. I started creating the game in May 2015 and I'd say as of now, it's about 80% complete. I've had fantastic support from Calindro (creator of KiddEd), helping me with fixing bugs and other issues.

The game is a direct sequel to the original Alex Kidd in Miracle World (and ignores the events of Enchanted Castle on MD).

Story
It's been 6 months since Alex defeated Janken the Great and reclaimed 'The Crown'. Alex's brother Egle has taken the throne and oversees the city of Radaxian. There is still unrest on the planet Aries however, as monsters still roam the land. Alex is still greatly concerned by the whereabouts of his missing father. Radaxian's forces have been unable to locate King Thunder, so Alex sets off himself to find him. He retraces his steps and returns to the place where the trail was lost. Perhaps there was something he missed.
The engine is the same as the original game but here are the changes I have made:
New music (rearranged from the original) by tibone
Whole new set of levels with lots of secrets and puzzles
Alex sprite has longer hair (to reflect the time that has passed)
New title screen
New map screen (which covers the area east of the original game)
New characters
The things I need to finish include:
Finalise design for last 2 levels
Add last boss
Possibly redesign enemy sprites
Possibly redesign Alex sprite (again)
Possibly redesign tiles for level layout
Finalise text
Bug fixes

I started writing Manic Miner for the Atari back in 2010 completely from scratch, although there were just a few things to finish off and tidy up ultimately I wasn't happy that it was entirely there and it became something that I pushed back for another day. I wanted to make sure that I did the original game justice, several of the other platforms that had conversions released in the day were written in their own way by the developer and were lacking.

When I returned back to the project at the beginning of the year I decided the best course of action was to start over. Having spoken with Mariusz about his z80 work after working on Saboteur together I'd improved my z80 knowledge and began translating Matthews' original z80 code line by line to 6502. After the necessary changes for the A8 and some rewriting and optimising I then had the original game in glorious monochrome running faster than the Spectrum. This would have been acceptable for a quick and dirty conversion although some game features such as the Solar Power Generator wouldn't be possible with the game in it's original form on the A8. It wasn't my intention either to create a simple port, the A8 is capable and worthy of spending the time to develop the game fully in the way I wrote my original conversion. The next preliminary step for me was to re-write the entire game in clean 6502 procedures reworking everything to use a standard Atari bitmap layout rather than a simulated Spectrum layout. These procedures were then rewritten and reworked into the methods used in my conversion which is char based so, after effectively writing MM four times for the Atari I've made absolutely sure to reproduce the game 100% bugs and all.

The interrupts for all of the 20 caverns were hand written and carefully thought out being designed over several months in 2010. I'm using sprite copies and mid scan changes where necessary. It was labour intensive manually timing them all and dealing with solutions to minimize the bad lines but thanks to the accuracy of Altirra I was able to work my way through them over time. When I came back to working on the game again I hadn't intended to mess with these but I could see with fresh eyes several could be written more efficiently and could actually be improved also. I ended up rewriting many of the trickier ones and reworked most of the others to various degrees. I completely restarted the Final Barrier which I was never happy with and after some thought and planning I decided to create a combination of bitmap and char layout, partly inverted partly not inverted and wrote special procedures for that cavern. I'm glad that I took the additional time to redo all the caverns, I was reluctant at first with the work involved but it's solved everything I wasn't happy with.

Miker's music is of course included again and the speed is modified for NTSC machines.

Thanks to Poison and Solaris this week for taking the time to give their views play testing the game. Thanks also to Phaeron for Altirra and for testing some of the interrupts on the real hardware for me.

I have the game delayed to run at roughly 140% speed on PAL systems compared to the original which feels good to me, I deliberated over whether to delay the game down to the Spectrum speed, which feels like slow motion now going back to it after play testing for a while.

Requirements: Atari XL/XE with 64kb or higher, PAL and NTSC compatible (there's actually around 8kb unused from our available 62kb)

Game was ported from Spectrum. For the purpose of porting, I have developed simple static recompiler which takes Spectrum Z80 code and produces equivalent 6502 code. Created code is slow and unoptimized, but it is mostly working correctly. Recompiler is not designed to produce 100% correct 6502 code, but instead it can detect several situations which require manual intervention, like A register being read by Z80 instruction and not set by previous instruction. Also, I have developed a tool to verify correctness of the code. It runs both Spectrum and Atari versions in parallel using Z80 and 6502 emulators and compares memory accesses (read and writes) of both versions and reports differences. It skips all opcode reads (as these are obviously different) and for memory reads it checks if given address from Z80 version is properly mapped to 6502 version.

Game is slower at this moment as Spectrum version, but it is almost not optimized, so this is expected at this point. Hopefully it can be brought to better speeds later. Game is also not much tested, so there may be some gameplay issues.

Atariage Forums thread

Pentagram, the third and last Filmation Ultimate game is now available for the C64.

It runs almost as fast as the original Spectrum version and if you run it on a C128 in C64 mode it runs at the same speed as the Spectrum version.

Pentagram is the slowest of the 3 Filmation games (as it has more going on than the others) so a version of Knight Lore converted in the same way would run faster than this.

Mariusz did the original Z80 to 6502 conversion for the Atari 800 and I used his optimised 6502 source code and converted it to run on the C64.

This shows what’s possible when code is optimised to run on the 6502 rather than the 6502 almost trying to emulate the Z80.

None of the C64 video hardware (hardware sprites) was used in this conversion, it’s just plain CPU grunt and memory. To use hardware sprites you would have to re-write most of the games rendering engine.

The full 64k is open with around 4k spare for possible future optimisations.

The 4k under $D000 is used and holds part of the screen display and video data. The code is so modular it was easy to switch the IO in and out as required.

It would be possible to free up another 3k or so by using a slightly slower Updatescreen routine (less rolled out) and write the colour ram data directly into colour ram rather than somewhere else first.

Rather than use a normal bitmap screen I used 3 banks of chars with raster splits to emulate a 256x192 bitmap display. This had the advantage of saving a couple of k for the display (6k rather than 8k) and also the screen memory runs continually as a 8bit block so its quicker to calculate the screen addresses when bliting sprites etc.

As well as supporting the extra speed of the C128 I have also built in support for the second fire button on CGS joysticks for the pickup/drop function for all you CGS joystick fans out there!

It should work fine on both PAL and NTSC machines.

I’ve included the C64 source code as I’m new to asm coding I’m sure it can be improved on (I’m no Ninja coder!). It’s in Atari MADS format so you will have to compile it with that and then edit out the bytes 00,01,04,05 at the start of the created binary to create a runable C64 file.

I’ve played it all the way through (with mega jump and unlimited lives cheats) and haven’t found any problems yet. Please give it a try and let me know what you think.

Mariusz did most of the cleaver stuff with his A8 conversion and was kind enough to release the source code to enable me to convert it to the 64.

Converting his code was much easier than I thought as he kept the Atari specific code separate from the main game code. You can see most of the Atari (and the original Z80 code) in the source file. Also the two (A8 and 64) machines are both 64k 6502 based machines and that's the hardware that's being used in this conversion (with a little bit of Sid!)

Interesting to note that the game renders the graphics to a buffer first upside down! The first version I had running had all the graphics running upside down!!

Fixes a bug in the RND generator that under some circumstances might only generate 4 runes.

Now uses the same method as the Atari version that works fine.

I have now played this new version of game to death and been able to complete it without any problems a number of times.

I have included a Vice 2.4 snapshot of the game just before the game is about to be completed to prove that it does work!

Sorry for missing the bug in the first place.

Eνα νεο rpg απο την Arkanix Labs ,που το preview του εγινε released στη ECCC Chicago Expo 2012
..............

Συμφωνα με οτι διαρρεουν οι δημιουργοι του

Crimson Twilight is inspired by a lot of older commercial CRPGs including Ultima series, Questron series, Legacy of the Ancients, Legend of Blacksilver, and Wrath of Denethenor among others and newer releases like Ormus Saga series and Spirit of Adventure.

We definitely want the package and goodies inside to have the same feeling that you'd get opening one of those older CRPG releases, something to make you feel excited and intrigued to dig into the game.

.....

The game will come on at least four disk sides and can be copied to SD for use with whatever sd2iec interface you prefer.

This is the ground level of Lighthouse Bethict situated northeast of the port town Serdosia
