many thx, i think i came to the level of the return of the kong beast on the MSX,
games for that time is just so damn hard, when testing some of the levels, i think i use 20 lives to get through

thanks for the typo thing, its a little embarrassingly, an other person on a spectrum forum have also inform me about it

btw since you are a hardcore MM man, then maybe you could try it out and let me know, how it stack up to the original(Game play), if you like

[viking272]

Yes of course, happy to help!
I will send you a PM. It's been a few years since I played it (15?) but I found my old rubber keyed Spectrum in the loft and it still worked. So I played Manic Miner, Chaos and Atic Atac!

i tried h.e.r.o on a MSX emulator a couple of years ago, the scary part was if I relaxed, the game movning was still in my body, and after 1 or 2 games i could reach beyond level 15

My pleasure mate. This has been an honour. You're extrrnely talented and seeing this project grow to what it is today has been superb. Finish this and then I'll give you a list of other projects ha ha

[FedePede04]

Many thx Steve you have been a great help on this trip

when this is finish, then no more project for a while.
only thing that come to my mind would be a version of H.E.R.O

[AtariCrypt]

Ohhhh that would be a great idea!!
I'll get back to you in the new year with some ideas. I better give you a few weeks off from the work, I guess... lol

Nice remake! Cool version of the ingame tune with that pumping beat.

[viking272]

Hi, I forgot to say in my feedback that I used to do the 1st level with minimal movements/stopping and maximum efficiency. The game plays pretty much the same as I remember but can I complete it in the style I did before!! Nope!! Maybe tomorrow night

Many thanks
I first made one without drums, but AtariCrypt thought it was dull, so i did this one instead of, but i had my doubt about it, I am not 100% satisfied with it. but it look like that i will keep using this one, from the feedback i have received
but i was also hard to do it, using only 2 channels

same here, i also had a hard time doing my fast route, but it came back after a couple of games (maybe 30)
Thanks again for all you feedback

don't get to many bright ideas Steve, or else i will come back and haunt you
i also have some others ideas for a original game for the ST, that i need to try out,
and also have to have a good look at ST paint and also Project-Ymer.
So i have a lot of things that i need to do in the new year ..

maybe also to continue my work on Enduro racer

Well, when i was hearing it on the video i thought : "Hey it would be fun to have this looping tune enhanced with many progressive variations in the beat, pace, arrangement over its loops."

It's nice to see a new "old" game recreated in work

i think you got a valid point, one gets pretty mad listen to this version for hours
so some variation would be great, but not sure that i am up for this task, but i will look into that later, going be a little hard some of the bass-drums notes are combine with the bass sound.

Many thx.
yes you got right, there are many great 8bit and arcade games never ported for the ST, so there is a lot to chose from

Go on, let's have a teaser image Loving this mate!!

it look like you cheated

serious it look like i have to have a look at the collapsing floor here, look to much like the normal floor

[AtariCrypt]

I never cheat. Not ever. No sir. Never!

[viking272]

Got to level 3 without losing a life last night.
the old magic is coming back.
On level 2 the key at the top right on the ceiling needs to be collected by jumping on to the platform but the original Spectrum you jump through the platform to get the key..
I prefer the new way though!

[FedePede04]

many thanks, i remembered them as solid blocks(Old brain), i often walk on top of the blocks on the MSX.
i let it be as it is, if not to many notic it

[FedePede04]

I just had a quick run on the MSX version, the 3 first is collapsing floor, its only the last one there is solid.
btw i have add pause to the program, and fixed the high score routine, i send you an new version this weekend

edit
i had a other look 3 collapsing floor and one walk through block, where mine is 3 collapsing floor and one solid block

edit +.

i also liked it better this way. but i change it any way, to make it as close as the real one as possible :'(
