You made a hack out of Superman?

[atwwong]

Yes folks, I did it because I think she looks better than Supes, IMHO!



Here's a brief list of code changes for Haunted Adventure III:
- added story of Jono Care for the manual
- 8k bankswitching embedded into 32k binary
- new characters, graphics, and sound effects
- changed the character matrices to alter their behaviours, i.e., one more flying
- sky changes colour as goals are achieved by using flags
- creatures disappear near the end of the game
- moved JSR's in main routine to fix game cycles
- added a pause feature for both the 2600 and 7800
- remapped the world: changed Metropolis to Spirit Bay: new graphics and colours
- added new region
- added basic title screen for game selection
- added intro music
- added new game ending sequence, effects, and music
- added "lightning" for losing powers
- removed bridge gap to allow for freedom at the beginning (I always hated that )
- added colour flash code
- removed start cheat
- code for PAL50 and PAL60 versions

Anyone find the ultimate easter egg yet so the rom can be dumped and released?

There is no "the rom"; each cart has a different customized rom. If/when a rom is released here by me, it will be an AtariAge edition.

I must have missed the release of this game! Do you still have any available for sale?

Edit: Posted in 2006! (Slaps Forehead) Well, I guess my chances of getting one is out of the question.
