Just some minor tweaks to make room navigation go smoother and fixes of some extremely obscure bugs.

This game is excellent! I have played a long time and it is a decent addition to the 2600 library! For a first attempt, it is amazing Will! Congratulations!

Just played a bit on the java player on your site. This seems really neat! Can't wait for the cart release! I assume you will post it in this thread when it is released. Do you have anything "special" planned for the release? A box maybe? Signed and numbered carts? :-)

Anyhow, great job!

Duck Attack is being released (about time!) at the Classic Gaming Expo on July 31st! This is a fantastic homebrew and everyone should pick up a copy so Will Nicholes continues writing games for the 2600. Nathan Strum put together a wonderful label and manual--icing on the cake for such a great game!

Just finally stumbled upon this thread a couple days ago. As someone who has always loved Adventure, I gotta say - this is a great game! Still haven't made it past level 5 though. Love all the rooms based on other classic 2600 games - adventure, berzerk, even video pinball. Can't wait to get through more levels!

I thought I would see how far I could get playing straight through this weekend (no saves, no cheats) on difficulty B/B.

Just over 4 million points. (I do much, much worse on difficulty A/A.)

Good grief! That's some skill. I have yet to make it past level 3 or so.

BTW, how many levels are there? Is there an ending? Pardon me if I've overlooked the answer to this somewhere.

Level 12 is the last level with new rooms to discover.
