I have finally made my second compilation of games for the AtariMax 8Mbit flashcart. The last one (Wonderful Atari 8-Bit Games, Vol. I) was released on July 7, 2010. That was about 3 1/2 years ago! If you're interested in using the first compilation of games then visit here:
http://www.atarimax.com/flashcart/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=973Like the first compilation, this second compilation has been created for use with my unmodified Atari 130XE. It has been tested to work with that hardware, but most (all?) games should work with a machine with less memory. I'd be interested to hear any feedback about trouble that anyone may encounter.
This compilation has the following 39 games on it:
1) Atlantis (1983)(Imagic)
2) BC's Quest for Tires (1983)(Sierra On-Line)
3) Berzerk (1983)(Atari) - This originally only worked on the Atari 800 and the robot's voice came through the internal speaker (strange choice, it seems). This version works on the later ROM revision and the voice comes through the TV speaker. It sounds very-much like the arcade game.
4) Caverns of Khafka (1983)(Cosmi)
5) Centipede (1982)(Atari)[Atari 5200 Conversion by Glenn the 5200]
6) Choplifter! (1988)(Atari)
7) Crystal Castles (1988)(Atari)
8 ) Defender (1982)(Atari)
9) Deluxe Invaders (1981)(Roklan Corp.)
10) Dig Dug (1983)(Atari)[Atari 5200 Conversion]
11) Donkey Kong (1983)(Atari)
12) Donkey Kong Junior (1983)(Atari)
13) Galaxian (1982)(Atari)
14) Gorf (1982)(Roklan Corp.)
15) Gridrunner (1983)Llamasoft)
16) Gyruss (1984)(Parker Brothers)
17) Hard Hat Mack (1983)(Electronic Arts)
18 ) Jawbreaker (1981)(Sierra On-Line)
19) Joust (1983)(Atari)
20) Kangaroo (1983)(Atari)
21) Keystone Kapers (1983)(Activision)
22) Laser Gates (1984)(Imagic)
23) Mario Bros. (1988)(Atari)
24) Millipede (1984)(Atari)
25) Montezuma's Revenge (1984)(Parker Brothers)
26) Moon Patrol (1983)(Atari)
27) Nibbler (1983)(Datasoft)
28 ) Pastfinder (1984)(Activision)
29) Pengo (1983)(Atari)
30) Pooyan (1983)(Datasoft)
31) Popeye (1983)(Parker Brothers)
32) Preppie! (1982)(Adventure International)
33) Quick Step (1983)(Imagic)
34) Shamus (1982)(Synapse Software)
35) Spy Hunter (1984)(Sega)
36) Super Cobra (1983)(Parker Brothers)
37) Superfly 1K+ (2003)(Lüdtke Matthias)
38) Tapper (1984)(Sega)
39) Wizard of Wor (1981)(Roklan Corp.)
Note that Wizard of Wor plays like the original game does: player one uses joystick #2. The "fixed" version of this game that I found uses port #1 for player 1, but also adds an auto-fire feature for the player which I did not want as it makes the game FAR easier.
I've attached a file to this posting called "Wonderful Atari 8-Bit Games, Vol 2 (AtariMax 8Mb FlashCart).zip." The files included in the archive are:
1) Read Me.txt - A file describing the contents of the archive.
2) Wonderful Atari 8-Bit Games, Vol 2.atr - ATR image suitable for use with an Atari MaxFlash 8Mbit cartridge.
3) Wonderful Atari 8-Bit Games, Vol 2.mcw - Maxflash Cartridge Sudio workbook suitable for use with an Atari MaxFlash 8Mbit cartridge. This is included in case the user wants to modify the games included in this compilation.
4) Wonderful Atari 8-Bit Games, Vol 2 - A description of the 39 games included on the cartridge.
5) Directory called "All Games in this Compilation" - All 39 of the files that are included on this AtariMax 8Mbit FlashCart games compilation are available in this directory as separate files of various sorts, including ATR, BINs, COMs, ROMs and XEX files. These files will allow the user to use just a few of the files in their own compilation if they choose to make their own ATR or workbook.
Thanks for looking... and...
Enjoy!
