Agreed.

what about Mountain Bike racer and Ninja commando?

Couldn't agree more, this was a classic.

para esa epoca eso era lo maximo.

era bienisimo junto con captain comando y zibex, creo que era la misma gente que lo producia tenian una grafica similar

Esa es una buena observacion.....el primer gore de los videojuegos....antes de barbarian....

🤤 amo este juego, la intro la tengo como tono de llamada en mi cel. 😍 fue uno de los primeros juegos de mi infancia.

Totalmente de acuerdo. El "primer fatalaty de la historia de los juegos" de Atari. Me hubiera gustado mencionar eso en mi video de Draconus :P. La muerte del protagonista era muy "sanguinaria" para aquellos años. Si te fijas, no sólo le explota la cabeza, si no mas bien toda la mitad del cuerpo 😱. Eso fue impactante para muchos que éramos niños en aquel entonces.

Yeah, that atmosphere in dark caves

Same ppl behind the prpject, same atari st used in the creation process.

and Mountain Bike Racer kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b715g8ynu9u1mIk.html

Yeah, it's played with the one button joystick. Basically you have the standard movement directions, but if you're pressing the button, you punch, or breathe fire, or use a spell.

Yes, just only with one button.

blimey, indeed!

Yes, certainly.

Draconus is a great game, but Metroid was launched in 1986, two years before than Draconus.

@@sebastianriffo5388 Yeah thats true, maybe many of us get confused becase most of us moved from atari 800 to the NES,which was a completly new experience about playing videogames at home and that make us think that all Atari games where older than all NES games. When really there are many Atari games that where released after the first NES game. By the way there are many guys who think the first Metroid was Super Metroid and dont have any idea about the two previus ones on NES and Gameboy. And Supermetroid with Castlevania Symphony of the Nigh create what we call "metroidvania" games. When really there are 2 Metroids games before and Castlevania 2 Simon Quest which are older with that concept. But they wherent that great and didnt have enough fanbase as those 2 newer games. Instead were very frustrating games to play

You need to be closer for them to do damage.

Best

Let me look in to it, I'm not familiar with that game.

@@JCsChannel So what with "Kernaw"?

This one was one of the best Atari games. Pushed it to the limit.

@@JCsChannel dope stuff. I remember i played contra as a kid ; D good times!

Um... This is already running on an XE system 🤷‍♂️

@Elmo Redneal that's not what I have meant, and let me clarify. This game is on the Atari 8 bit or the 64kb version. I am trying to say that I would like to see Draconus on the Atari 130xe to take full advantage of the 128kb. Maybe that will give Draconus a graphical and sound advantage. The game did not take full advantage of the Atari 130xe 128kb memory.

question is - can be even better than this version?

@@ubiased23 but same CPU, graphics and sound

@zbyseklipka406 There is extra memory, that means you can add more contents to the game.

LOL it really isn't unless you like flickering sprites and blocky graphics. Have you actually seen the C64 version?

@@3622Dave I know the flickering enemies. I told to ypu about the game that is a little bit faster and the music that is better too for pokeys 4 channel although the 3 sid channel techology haha.

Well, Draconus 2 was just a hack of the original game.

same with montezuma

Pew Pew Pew.

:O

I saw the C64 version at a friend's house, but since I was so used to this one, it felt weird.

Are you crazy???? maybe the color definition bit the action and music A8 is better far away from c64.

Yeah, the colors in the atari version are really way too boring. Using the same shades for all the playfield and enemies just never was acceptable to me, even in Amiga games like Lionheart this 'effect' just looks bad. Objects need some contrast, otherweise they just blend in with the background.

I wish that Atari made this game on the atari 130 xe in order to take a full advantage of the 128k. A remake of this game would be nice.
