Title: New Atari 5200 Homebrew - Scramble!
Post by: TrekMD on August 15, 2018, 01:19:46 AM
AA member playsoft has created a very impressive port of the arcade game Scramble for the Atari 5200!  The game looks, sounds, and plays great!  Any fan of the arcade should have a blast with this.  I sure hope this sees a cart release!

Instructions:

Press a trigger or start and you'll see the options screen.

Press the numeric key of the option to step through the different settings.
1. Difficulty - select between Normal and Easy.
2. Tunnels - select between Wide and Normal.

By default Wide is selected which makes the tunnel section possible with the 5200 non-centering joystick.

If you play with a digital (or centering) joystick then you should select Normal tunnels.

3. Ship size - (usually...) selects between Normal and Small.

4. Rockets - select between Normal and Fast.

5. Autofire - select between Off, Fast and Slow.

6. Trigger 1 - select between Missiles and Both.

This allows you to play with a single button joystick. If you select both then the (main) trigger will both fire a missile and drop a bomb.

7. Lives - select between 3, 4 and 5.

8. Scroll - select between Normal and Fast.

Here is a video of the game in action:

Looks great, one of my favorites on the C64, and also one of the first games on the C64 we (my cousin and I) cracked :D
