Epic Adventure v16 (A2600 Game)

Epic Adventure by Byte Knight is an entirely new Adventure game built from the ground-up featuring 32 rooms / mazes with all-new items and enemies (see picture below). It’s kind of a mixture of Adventure and Lord of the Rings. The goal of the game is “the usual” – get the golden chalice back to your home castle. But first, you must kill the Dragon in order for the chalice to appear in one of three places – the Wizard’s Castle, the Dragon’s Castle, or the Troll’s Cave.

atari2600land has updated his single and two player simultaneous play variant of a very well known Russian block game.

Release notes:

I found a way to make the game faster when the blocks are clearing. As usual, let me know if there’s any bugs, especially in the 2-player mode.

Epic Adventure v15 (A2600 Game)

Epic Adventure by Byte Knight is an entirely new Adventure game built from the ground-up featuring 32 rooms / mazes with all-new items and enemies (see picture below). It’s kind of a mixture of Adventure and Lord of the Rings. The goal of the game is “the usual” – get the golden chalice back to your home castle. But first, you must kill the Dragon in order for the chalice to appear in one of three places – the Wizard’s Castle, the Dragon’s Castle, or the Troll’s Cave.

Changes:

* Added level III with randomized items.
* Level I is easier – two stabs to kill dragon, one to kill troll. No hawk or wizard (so my kids can beat the game!).
* Different title screen – I think the Evil Magician’s castle & gate looks cooler…
* Orc disappears after you kill the wizard, so you’re free to explore.
* Should work on Harmony cart now (untested).

Muncher (26-08-2011) (A2600 Game)

Wickeycolumbus is working on a small game, which is currently named “Muncher”. You play as a yellow square and your goal is to “eat” the red squares while avoiding aliens.

Release notes:

I kind of like the black background, but I’ll play around with other colors. I’m not sure what else I can do with the gameplay, but I might go 4K to include a title screen and SaveKey support.
