There's a rather nice conversion for the Atari 2600 now too

Impressive given the hardware.

Hi Lee Yes, here's what I did, I ended up having to write it down as it proved too much for my feeble brain :lol: <Insert real floppy into drive 0> *FORM 40 0 *EXPORT -D0 BLANK40.SSD *IMPORT -1 BLANK40.SSD *IMPORT -0 PANIC.SSD *RAM *COPY 0 1 *.* *EXPORT -1 PANIC40.SSD *IMPORT -D0 PANIC40.SSD Here, I...

Hi

Not sure if it's related but when I used the DataCentre to create Mountain Panic images, I had to first create a 40 track 100K blank SSD, import that, copy the files to that image, then export that image at 100K from the DataCentre.

Hehe is that the one with the 2 unlimited soundtrack? I remember that

Great stuff Kees

Hoping to be there, money permitting!

Surely jbnbeeb's next project idea discussed here is crying out for 2 player joysticks

Thanks for the positive feedback!

Hoping to start a new BBC Micro project in 2014

Thank you very much, Dave Footitt.

Thanks fella. Although I wrote the game, I had nothing to do with posting it out to you - must've been Samwise or Arcadian that did that

I don't object no, but yeah I agree with leaving it a bit first

Yeah wouldn't mind a copy of that map myself! It's currently burnt into my brain but I expect it'll vanish at some point, things don't usually stick around too long in there

Glad everyone's enjoying the game, still can't believe I actually finished it

Thanks for the positive feedback, it's great to read. It can be really difficult after working on something on and off for years to judge how it actually plays! I will look into the joystick issue, we did test on both BBC B, Master and Master Compact (even B+ I think). Apologies for that problem, I ...

Ah! Cool. (He wouldn't be 'Zynx' by any chance?) I'd quite understand if he considered it rather strange or perplexing for someone to remake one of his works, some 23 years later... in BASIC, on the same platform. I regret my choice of music somewhat -- it's a great track (as are many others by Jog...

Hehe nice...

Passed it onto my mate who wrote the original

I believe you can order by emailing either Dave or Pete

But the retrosoftware site really needs a 'shop' section where you can buy the games from.

It's frustrating having written a game to hear that people are having trouble getting it

Phew

You running on a standard model B? We tested across them all so it should work OK

And here it is, with some dodgy looking bloke holding it.

Anyone who wants a copy can get one from the usual channels, ie Dave or Pete. Get 'em while they're hot!

I should be there for a couple of hours this afternoon

Sadly won't be able to join in beer and curry as both kids are ill and don't want to leave the missus mopping up on her own

Congratulations Kees, you're a machine!

Garrettimus wrote:Cool! Do you send overseas too?

I would think so, perhaps Samwise or Arcadian can confirm?

No Electron Version? ;) If someone is daft willing enough then I can support them, so long as I don't have to do any code, I'm sick of seeing it all :) (can't wait to play it, but I don't think I can make it to Play this year :( ) You can probably order it online, but I'm not the best person to spe...

Mountain Panic will be available to buy on 5.25" disc at this year's Play Expo if you fancy picking up a copy!

It's compatible with BBC B, B+, Master 128 and Master Compact.

Got one now, thanks!

Hi all

Does anyone have a real BBC Master Compact, with joystick, for some last minute compat testing?

I just want to send an SSD image over and get it checked out for any issues.

Please PM me if you can help

Thanks

That's ace, looks well professional

Yes, nice looking blog

Be nice to have some detail as to why the original ending was broken though

Edit: Aha, I see you have done, elsewhere on your blog! Nice!

I have an external retro clinic CF system going spare if you want it. It's as new, it might need some software support such as a Rom (can't remember) but that's easier than getting a new CF box!

Yours for postage costs

Interesting, don't remember that one.. Are there any screenshots knocking about?

Haha that's ace!

I've just found this in my pile of stuff, I was going to put it on eBay but I've started reading it and it's not that bad really. Not really one for the text adventure but it's quite a comforting read
