============================================================== + Moon Cresta for Atari 8-bit with VBXE, New Year's preview + ============================================================== This is an in-progress release of my conversion of Moon Cresta from the 7800 to Atari 8-bit (VBXE version). Firstly, thanks to PacManPlus for providing source and permission to use it to create versions of this game for the 8-bit Ataris. Note that the conversion is still in progress and the game has some graphical errors but is playable. The final version will have more colours for the objects and better sound. Currently I'm using a simple conversion algorithm to convert the TIA sounds to Pokey on-the-fly. To play the game you need a VBXE equipped machine with min. 48K base RAM, or use a recent version of the Altirra emulator with VBXE enabled. There are 2 programs, run the one which corresponds to the base mapping of your VBXE, ie - D6 or D7 suffix. The game is somewhat hard, but that reflects the arcade and 7800 versions. This release runs on "Easy" level only at this stage. The graphical glitches don't affect gameplay for the most part, the main problem currently is that the big ship (III) doesn't display if it's in play docked to another ship (it can still shoot and get hit though).
