Atari Scorpio Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 Is anyone currently working on Cloak and Dagger or a variation? I would really like to see this one out there. I currently have the arcade machine and the movie, but I cannot seem to rest until this is made for the 5200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I currently have the arcade machine and the movie, but I cannot seem to rest until this is made for the 5200. 922911[/snapback] It's already made, kinda. Someone found a floppy disk with it on it. It's in the proto forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari Scorpio Posted September 5, 2005 Author Share Posted September 5, 2005 WOW!! You would think that since the proto was discovered it would make major news here at Atariage. Any reason why?? I hope that it is not a fake for next years april fools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutchman2000 Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 This is definitely NOT an april fools joke. The original programmer, Dave Comstock is working on completing the game. I am helping him with some aspects but he is doing the majority of the work. Progress can be followed at: Cloak and Dagger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari Scorpio Posted September 5, 2005 Author Share Posted September 5, 2005 Any idea when it will be completed and released? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaManFan Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 Patience young padawan. The programmer is working on this in his own free time and probably had a 9 to 5 job to deal with first, or if he's like any programmer I ever knew more like 9 to 2 (both AM). I'd rather accept slow gradual progress to a finished game than to have a Rob Fulop situation where he says "not only will I not finish it, you nagged me too much, now I won't even release it."

Tempest Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 Any idea when it will be completed and released? 925576[/snapback] I believe Dave told me that "It will be released when it's ready and not a moment before". Basically he's working on C&D in his free time so it will be awhile before it is ready. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MegaManFan Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Which game are you referring to? I missed that one. 927692[/snapback] 2600 forum, a year or more ago. Rob surfaced with a post that he had a game he had been working on while at Imagic that he never finished, which was about 65% complete and at least somewhat playable, but that he had no intention of finishing it. He was considering some form of a release for it, several suggestions were made that he could do a limited run a la Cubicolor. Of course the next 20 or so posts were all "Could you finish it Rob, pleeeeeeeeease?" Rob finally said screw it and decided not to dump it, release it, or do anything with it at all.

I remember that thread now and remember thinking that I really didnt give a crap...I wasnt gonna buy it and if the game isnt complete its not worth anything (to me at least) anyway.

82atari5200 Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 Sounds like most of the people replying to him were being pricks. Everyone demanding he complete it. Should of just let him release the image. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

82atari5200 Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 That's awesome. I wish one of my neighbors was an ex-Atari programmer. All I have is a bunch of a-holes with broken down cars. Seriously though I can't wait for this release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
