..:.. Arok 2022 - arokasas arkon bokron at - party news Hi Everyone!
As you've probably heard, 07.01.2022 will be a memorable date as one of Hungary's longest running retro 8-bit computer party series, the Árok party, will be held in Ajka. Here you can find all information, events and rumours!
Re: ..:.. Arok 2022 - arokasas arkon bokron at - party news Long life to the Árok party! I had some funny moments in Ajka in the past years, and i can't wait for the day we will organize beforehand a reunion there once again.
Re: ..:.. Arok 2022 - arokasas arkon bokron at - party news I asked TCFS just yesterday and he said he won't be able to make it after all. Nice to hear that with Ati and Murphy the Plus/4 presence is up to 7
Re: ..:.. Arok 2022 - arokasas arkon bokron at - party news Chronos absolutely fantastic. Pity they placed three cams for the Twitch's streaming, all three far far away from the benches.
Re: ..:.. Arok 2022 - arokasas arkon bokron at - party news Oooh, a new game by Ati, finally! So much time has passed! It's a little C64 classic that merges Ladybug with a spray of Konami's Tutankham, lo-ve-ly.
Re: ..:.. Arok 2022 - arokasas arkon bokron at - party news Congrats for the #1!! Watched the democompo and wild compo.. Waiting now for the pictures and game entries..
Re: ..:.. Arok 2022 - arokasas arkon bokron at - party news Hy! I'm on vacation, but I sent my stuff to Csabo just now, so, soon you can play it! I love to play with it till now, even I must played a lot with it at testing.
Some instructions: (Csabo maybe copy-paste it to the rightful place)
In first person game, use Joy 1 to control.
(Controls are also on the main screen scroller.)
In AI mode, you will play all 3 rounds. In Dance Mode: (so, Luca, it isn't a clone! It has new functions) The program gives you easy or hard mode randomly. In hard mode, you must speed up yourself a bit. If your score is 100 or above, you win, but the final goal is to reach the perfect score. The perfect score is 160 at easy, and 220 in hard mode.
If you get "Awesome!" ranking for your move, that's the perfect. In Easy Mode, the perfect means one point plus, every other cyan message means 0 point, every red (error) message means -2 points. In Hard Mode, Awesome means 2 plus point, every other cyan message means -2, every red means -4 points!
The ESC key means exit from any mode, if you don't want to play along.
Some other change, so it's not a clone:
-The game has time countdown in fight modes. -The energy bar not rising, but decreasing if you get tired. -Not just one precise point exist, where you can hit your enemy. -The fighter on the right side is not in the background all the time. -The bottom scrolling landscape is my petscii work. -The menu is modified. -Plus4 coloring everywhere, except Victory message. -DANCE DUEL! -All code and GFX done by me. I don't have the original game in any form. I recreated Monstro Giganto from one gameplay video on the Youtube. Just because someone commented here at Plus4World, that "This game not convertible to Plus 4." I don't know, if it can. But recreatable, it's for sure :D
Thanks for everybody, who liked my game. I wait for ATI's game, but I said that to him at Arok, too!
If anybody knows a direct contact to Antonio Savona, please help me with it!
Re: ..:.. Arok 2022 - arokasas arkon bokron at - party news The party was very good. Again. Finally, Chronos won the graphic compo, congratulations. (Facet’s, Leon’s, Grass’s pictures was very good too, but Chronos’s picture was the best.) Congratulations to Verona too, his petscii game was cool. I loved Andor, BSZ’s waveplay, Bitrotator koncert. There was BSZ, Larry, TLC, Ern0 too from plus4 scene.
And. You can download releases from scene.org.
My game is 99%. If you find a bug, send me a bugreport in private pls.
Re: ..:.. Arok 2022 - arokasas arkon bokron at - party news @Verona I saw you included me in your post, are you referring to the presentation post I did somewhere else? Keep in mind that "clone" is historically the technical term to indicate derivative games, like Killapede which is a clone of Centipede. Clone doesn't mean 1:1 copy
Reporting here that text: "But no fear for the scene, because the number one is Gigantic Monsters, the brilliant Plus/4 clone of the famous Monstro Giganto made on C64 by Antonio Savona, in which our mates Verona & Delest have put some extra minigames!". A clone with extra! And now...let's play it!

Sorry, but for me, the word "clone" means 1:1. I prefer "mod", "recreation", "remake", "remade". But the important thing, now I understand, how you mean it.
"Reporting here that text: "But no fear for the scene, because the number one is Gigantic Monsters, the brilliant Plus/4 clone of the famous Monstro Giganto made on C64 by Antonio Savona, in which our mates Verona & Delest have put some extra minigames!".
Where did appear the quoted text?
"A clone with extra! wink And now...let's play it!"
Yes, when I made this game, I thought about you, so go, get the perfect scores, Luca!
Re: ..:.. Arok 2022 - arokasas arkon bokron at - party news You can now grab the Arok version of Lady Tut from P4W as well. Hopefully we won't have to wait for the final version!
Re: ..:.. Arok 2022 - arokasas arkon bokron at - party news Ati & Verona! Yesterday I talked Poison and he told me he forgot to give us some "Gombai chili flakes" as compo prize so you can grab it at Function
Re: ..:.. Arok 2022 - arokasas arkon bokron at - party news I show my game to Antonio Savona, the creator of the original game, here is his reply (with his permission)
"Hi Lászlo, thanks for this message. I'm humbled by the fact that someone took so much time to recreate Monstro Giganto on the plus 4. And it looks like you did a great job! Congratulations! Having to choose a Monster to cope with the memory limitations, I'm happy that you chose Mojo. That's my favourite! And the dance duel looks like a lot of fun. Please accept a digital copy of Monstro Giganto so you can play it on Vice if you want. Thanks again, and stay in touch."
And he really sent me the original's CRT file! Very great guy!
And he will talk with Lobo, the graphic artist of the original, to send me the assets, so I can finish the game on Plus 4!
Re: ..:.. Arok 2022 - arokasas arkon bokron at - party news Wow!! Great!!! Congrats.. Must have been strange for the author to see it run on disc without a cartridge connected..
Re: ..:.. Arok 2022 - arokasas arkon bokron at - party news @Mad: Yes. But when he made the game, there must have been a time when he still used floppy. I think he was more surprised when he saw his game running on another machine, or at least, something similar. For example, if someone were to make LTIB for C64, it would feel quite strange to me.
@Chronos: I will go to Function! So, I will grab that.
Re: ..:.. Arok 2022 - arokasas arkon bokron at - party news Verona just added two new versions of Gigantic Monsters. After some player feedback, these are the "faster" versions: the fight is faster, but it's also harder. Choose your own difficulty
Re: ..:.. Arok 2022 - arokasas arkon bokron at - party news Nem látom, volt-e... A WavePlay-SD időközben felkerült a scene.org-ra, de nekem is van egy direkt linkem hozzá. A plus/4-es verzió egy SID-kártya + DigiBlaster kombinációval a legjobb, de a CAE/NAE kártyák DigiBlaster emulációja is kiváló! (Kis önreklám. ) Akinek van hardvere, tegyen vele egy próbát! Kíváncsi vagyok a véleményekre!
Re: ..:.. Arok 2022 - arokasas arkon bokron at - party news I can't find any mention of it, so... Meanwhile WavePlay-SD was uploaded to scene.org but I too have a direct link to it. The Plus/4 version is best to listen to with an SID-card plus DigiBlaster combo but the DigiBlaster emulation of CAE/NAE cards is excellent too. (Shameless plug. ) Those of you having the appropriate hardware give it a try, please. I'm curious about your opinion.
Re: ..:.. Arok 2022 - arokasas arkon bokron at - party news @Chronos: Nem csak én, minden ismerősöm a környékemen. Eddig osztatlan siker.
This is a memento from this year's Árok Party.
Re: ..:.. Arok 2022 - arokasas arkon bokron at - party news @Chronos: Not only me but all my acquaintances in the neighbourhood, too. Unanimous success so far.
