Here are some Atari disk images of stuff I made long, long ago. Still, whatever disks still worked and had complete or fairly playable games on them are here. Various Games — Several games on one disk, including some of the first stuff I ever programmed, some lame sidescrollers and a choose your own adventure game.
Maybe it was because of 8. Adventure Island — A text adventure game with a very unoriginal name. The Atari XL etc. What I like about these Atari versions is the large color palette expressions and the 'ripping' sound effects. That Atari noise wave is just something the SID can never give me.
This game is pretty simple, and it gets a bit repetitive in the long run, but it's always great, atmospheric fun, and it's 'different' to save these guys instead of always collecting or destroying stuff, like in so many games. Though you do destroy things, but at least it's logical - you do it only so you can advance deeper in the cave, etc.
The resolution is lower and the graphics style is simpler than on the C64 version, but the palette is bigger, and there are more 'flashing effects' that make the graphics in some ways more eye-pleasing. The 'lazer'-sound is better on the C64, as well as the 'counting the remaining energy and bombs' sounds, but otherwise, this is like the optimal version of the game. There's nothing wrong with the C64 version, it's charming, atmospheric, good-looking and has high-res graphics.
But there's just something that makes the Atari 8-bit version slightly better, perhaps a bit deeper atmosphere, together with the colors. And who could get enough of that wonderful explosion sound? So you can't really go wrong with H. Like River Raid and some others, Activision really converted this game faithfully to multiple platforms, utilizing the strengths of those platforms a little bit if not to the fullest. I guess they didn't want to risk making the games too different, but to keep the 'core game' intact.
I can understand that. Is it possible to get bored with this game? In decades, that has not happened to me, yet. This game always feels fresh and playable to me for some reason. Absolutely in my top 10 favorites. I played this a lot but could never beat it One of the best, should be number 1 on the top 8 bit Atari Games! I love it. Thank you John, for this game.
