I just noted that Fungus lowered his vote from 7 to 5, to ensure the average wouldn't be too high. How is your fixed version coming along?
User Comment
Submitted by Bacchus on 7 March 2020
I think it's relevant what it is to crack a game and to code a game. Rewriting a borked part of the game is for sure beyond the scope of what one can reasonably expect from a crack IMHO. A 100% crack is a 100% crack. It's fair to also look at striving towards 101% versions and I would warmly welcome Fungus to make one.

And we just spent the time to make a REU release (that should also please those who find that the most important part of a release is to have as few files as possible).

Changed my vote since no effort was put into fixing the bugs in the game.

I guess the thing with this game is that not many people ever played it - at least not in my circles. I heard the names many times, but only in the context of how difficult it was to crack. And a lot of the people saying this were merely relaying hearsay.

I think it's a lot more than decent. The 3D graphics when you run around is so before it's time. Super complex logic calculating the probabilities of things happening.

The c64 version is not 100% the same as the Atari one, but you can get a sense of the depth by looking here:

Cool stuff! I gave it a straight 10, but it's worth more!
Keep in there and keep on there
(interesting discussion (at times) on the forum, especially about the compacted loaders:
I do think it's a dead waste unless a release "whispers",

"It could franky, it could be franky
It could be very fresh and clean
It could be a balloon
All these are the days my friends
And these are the days my friends
It could get some wind for the sailboat
And it could get for it is
It could get the railroad for these workers
It could get for it is were
It could be a ballon
It could be franky"

:D

@burglar - Enno, you know that all this is your fault? If it hadn't been for that Return of Herakles compo I would still have a life ;-)

"a feat near impossible"

That sounds like a great personal challenge for yourself :-)
User Comment

@fungus Reacting is pure heart and telling the heart how to react is beyond me. Me brain knows you're perfectly correct - but my heart doesn't care.

And thinking the game requires REU support is a fully valid argument for your vote.

Hat of pal - I truly appreciate your opinion.

@fix making a 101%, addressing all the issues Jason list is a feat near impossible.
User Comment
Submitted by Fungus on 20 February 2020
@bacchus I got upset once upon a time when people downvoted stuff I put a ton of work into, but there is always haters and jelous people, especially in the scene. You should expect that, and ignore it because they can be dismissed as such. People's reputations also have a lot to do with it, and the scene is different now than back in the times, so you also have to overcome that and any egotistical behavior or perceived incompetence will reflect in it. I know that very very well...

@Fix maybe for only 1541 IFFL, but n0sd0s is a bit more than a 5 minutes job to implement due to the amount of devices supported, and it requires a lot of testing. I voted a 9 because I really want the ability to use an REU to play games to effectively remove loading times, especially in games which have a lot of disk access.
User Comment

A solid 10!

IFFL or Not... Adding IFFL is a 5 min job. Making it a 101% will be more impressive! But still a solid 10!

@fungus Some do their stuff for the joy of doing it, and some do it to see people like the result. I'm much more the latter and every unjust comment and six vote is a dart of poison to my heart. A pain that really make me question why I loose sleep to provide something a number of people still take the liberty of pissing on. Call me a drama queen if you want, but it REALLY the fun out of the effort for me. REALLY!

It's a separate discussion but I really think that secret votes is breeding a category of people that vote just to bring down the average of something they see as a competition.

@Fungus- Also, a teleport trainer is indeed 1 trainer, not more than one.

Yes it's counted as 1 trainer not 5, otherwise it would have been +15

Would rather see bug fixes that IFFL at the moment. Would rather see AR-The Dungeon too. Of course if someone else can step in to do it? :)

Pure 10 from me. People voting 6 etc. Guess anonymous envy happening there (agree with Bacchus on that).
User Comment
Submitted by Fungus on 18 February 2020
hedning said it, IFFL it. n0sd0s preferred. I guess others would want an easyflash version too. Also, a teleport trainer is indeed 1 trainer, not more than one.

Who cares about votes anyways.

Not asking for votes of any kind but anyone voting 6 on this crack cannot honestly mean that. It's an anonymous vote of envy.

Asking for 10 votes on the comments - what exactly do you expect again?
(and I didnt vote.)

And now the votes of envy rolled in. The ones not thinking we deserved a perfect ten ..

As far as I tested I can also confirm that it works well with an SD2IEC as well. Excellent work!

Bacchus: IFFL perhaps? Seems like this is a perfect release to IFFL? NosDos it to make it more compatible with stuff? Can’t think of anything else. As said: awesome work.
User Comment

Andreas: For me is could be "megatrainer". We counted teleport as one where we have a number of set locations and then a fully flexible. We could have counted that as six if boosting this metric was in our interest.

If people want to make it fewer trainers, be my guest.

The one voting 9, please tell us what we should have done to get a ten?

Very nice overall version.
Turn rich and turn richer on trainer "menu" counted as two trainers?

Every now and then glimpses of what I consider to be the real cracking scene shine through; this is one of those moments. Selective source, excellent execution - covering both oldie and firstie scenes! Thanks Fairlight!

Another mad dream given form! Huge applause to Bacchus for taking it on, to Pitcher for hanging with it even when my description of the potion system proved confusing, and to all those who have tried to play a role in this game's preservation over the years.

Fantastic job Bacchus, happy you pulled through! I’ve been following the work behind the scenes, and AR is one hell of a beast to slay. Looking forward to a write-up of all the craziness!

PS: no testing credits for Jason?

What Smasher said. Same here...
Also, this game has cult status for some people (Atari guys mainly). Which makes me wanna spend some time with it to understand why.

Bacchus: Ok. Thanx for clarifying that. I thought you went for the dumps I sent as you asked around on Facebook for the original disks, and I was quite fast.

No Hedning - we cracked this off an original by Jason.

We did get a bunch of originals from both you and Sailer, but none were used.

This is the most difficult and challenging thins I have ever taken on.

Do have a look at the in-game trainers as well - they are pretty magnificent.

And do read the docs - especially the one on the main disk. There is a lot of meaty information there.
