Atari Adventure | |||
Macromedia Flash adaptation by Scott Pehnke www.simmphonic.com | |||
Here is a sample of my Macromedia Flash programming. Flash was designed as a vector animation tool for the web. Lately, however, it has developed scripting capabilities similar to its sister program, Macromedia Director, which is my native language. I chose to recreate Atari Adventure with all its bleeps and bloops and chicken-looking dragons. As a kid this program fascinated and enticed me to become a programmer. It's a joy to be able to re-create it. Note that I took the liberty to rearrange a couple of items. Adventure was the first of its kind, the mother of all graphic adventure games from Ultima to Zelda. It was also the instigator of hidden backdoors and easter eggs (now staples in every video game). | |||

Adventure Atari 2600 Play
Created with the DPC+ kernel (you'll need the latest version of Stella to play), it's preliminarily called 'Epic Adventure'. It's an entirely new Adventure game built from the ground-up featuring 32 rooms / mazes with all-new items and enemies (see picture below). It's kind of a mixture of Adventure. Arguably one of the best adventure games for the Atari 2600, the object of the game was to guide your heroic adventurer through a magical and dangerous land on a quest to recover the lost and fabled chalice which had been stolen by three marauding dragons named Yorgle, Grundle and Rhindle and return it back to its rightful place within the gold castle. The creator of Adventure, Warren Robinett, added an easter egg that displayed his name. He hid the easter egg in the game because when the game was made, Atari didn't credit their programmers. Adventure is also credited as the first action/Adventure video game. Directions: In Adventure 2600 there are several obstacles between you and your goal.

I've been working on my next Adventure game for the last few months, and I think it's gotten to the point where it's actually kind of fun to play. Created with the DPC+ kernel (you'll need the latest version of Stella to play), it's preliminarily called 'Epic Adventure'.
It's an entirely new Adventure game built from the ground-up featuring 32 rooms / mazes with all-new items and enemies (see picture below). It's kind of a mixture of Adventure and Lord of the Rings. The goal of the game is 'the usual' - get the golden chalice back to your home castle. But first, you must kill the Dragon in order for the chalice to appear in one of three places - the Wizard's Castle, the Dragon's Castle, or the Troll's Cave.
