Re: Xenomorph by Atari Legend
This is game which was unknown for me in my early Atari years. I like it's graphic and atmosphere. And it works actually faster than DM, thanx to asm code.

Famous Schrodinger's cat hypothetical experiment says that cat is dead or alive until we open box and see condition of poor animal, which deserved better logic. Cat is always in some certain state - regardless from is observer able or not to see what the state is.

Re: Xenomorph by Atari Legend
Cheers for the feedback 
The disk swaps were truly awful - and sorry also for the green blob bugs.
When I finish my current projects I'll have to prototype a reworked version ...

Re: Xenomorph by Atari Legend
I bought another Xenomorph on ebay... AtariZoll can you tell wich version this is? working/xenomorph_other_disks.7z (SCP)
It seems to been copied to re-used disks, this means "disk B" is doublesided and i presume it has data from previous copy on it? I am not sure the disk are 100% working but i can play it at beginning on my ST and converting to STX worked and playd in Steem.
I removed the label and it has been a Hit Squad game and also a Shapes and Colours (twice.. once for Amiga ond once for Atari ST)... or maybe they first used the disk to practice printing on it
The Program disk used to be Captain Blood... i never seen that CB label before though:

I develop a free Word (for Windows) add-in that's available for Word 2007 upwards. It's a fix-it toolbox that will allow power Word users to fix document errors. You can find it at: http://www.mikestoolbox.co.uk

Re: Xenomorph by Atari Legend
Anyone able to repack PPera's files to a FDD (820k)? He has the 1.4 Xenomorph with no disk checks etc but it needs a HDD. If re-packed it might be played from FDD on an ST with Gotek drive!?!?

Indeed reused disks. There is some French txt. on Side B of program disk for instance.

A couple of years late, but I just wanted to say that this somehow bombs (3x) on my 1040ST. No idea why.AtariZoll wrote:I made floppy version years ago:
