Turbo Turned 30!!!!

[BiNMaN]

As it was Turbo's 30th Anniversary this year, here's a new version for 2022

New loading screen (based on the Codies inlay), new tile set, original sprites, same old Hi-Tec release!!

Updates by me BiNMaN (Jarrod Bentley), original sprites still by Dennis Mulliner, game code still by Dave Thompson....

One of my favs (I never played it BITD, I discovered it some years ago, a nice Super Mario-like game). Tnks.

[Andre Leao]

Brilliant, thanks. And shared at the usual place

next game is Sanxion ?

Already done...

New screen, new menu banner, altered scrolling mesage, new backgrounds...

[BiNMaN]

the most recent/final version has Oli's signature taken from 3d Starstrike loading screen...

I'd left the ship black and white previously, I was messing around and the recolouring turned out ok

.tap file would not work on my +2

.tap file would not work on my +2

is that via a DivMMC? or similar?

Tested on SpecEmu, Spectaculator, physically on 128k Toast Rack, +2, +2a, +3, 48k machines

The original unmoddeed TAP doesn't either as it still uses a custom loader, it will work in emulators and on real hardware as a physical tape (or sound out from a pc).

What I need to do is hack the loader for the main game to the rom loading routine but also hope that the internal loader for the levels will still work. It's a pain on the NEXT as well as the TAP won't work and the TZX stop tape command is ignored. So you can load the game but struggle with the levels.

There is a hacked TAP out there that packs all the level (think they get banked) which works perfectly, however the levels are packed so I can't change them as yet.

Did the best I could do as a non coder...

@goodboy made another TAP file of Turbo that should work on all platforms with any interface since it loads through the standard ROM routine.

it is also possible to add music (from c64), but this is a little later

[ANDREWRYALS]

Ive got some hacks if anyone is intereste.d

[goodboy]

and i think what it is still possible to move the control panel down (possibly with a slight change in the picture on it)

that would be awesome too

[BiNMaN]

Oh my sweet lord...

With a huge thankyou to gOOdbOy, there are a couple additions to the Turbo The Tortoise 30th Anniversary zip file. A TRD file where you can choose to play the vanilla version, or modded...

Not only that but a single load 128k version...seeing that is believing!
