SENTE MOONQUAKE PROTOTYPE

Okay, I know this is not an Atari proto, but it is from a company that was started by ex- Atari employees. This game is built upon the Amiga 500 hardware platform. It has a I/O sound interface, and the ROM daughter card added to the base Amiga system. The game uses two joysticks, just like Robotron. One to move, one to fire. You movements are restricted to jumping one square at a time, like Qbert. You can fire in four directions. There is an additional button, which activates your Jet Pack. The Jet Pack allows you to jump more than one square at a time, and also allows you to jump up onto platforms and obstacles. Several enemies try to kill you including some blob looking creatures, a tornado, and an atom particle. You goal is to get from one end of the level to the other, while avoiding the enemies. You can also collect gems along the way, which raises your payload meter. When you are hit or shot by an enemy, you lose some portion of your shield. When your shield is worn down, you die. You can also die, by falling off the platforms. You can recharge your shield, by jumping on a square that contains 'radiation'. A radiation meter, helps you locate those squares.
This is a very cool game. I finally got this working, and it will be at California Extreme 2006. Here are some pictures of the boards and some game play: pic1 pic2 pic3 pic4 pic5 pic6 pic7 pic8 pic9 pic10
