Arenafoot Posted March 26, 2018 Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 So, you ask yourself ......how would a 2 (or 3) player game of Atari Adventure be played??? Well, Ro Anders decided to try and program it and it is now available for us!! Any of the 3 levels can be played with 2 or 3 players competing AT THE SAME TIME! Each player has their own castle and their own key to open it, everything else is still the same. Welcome to Atari Adventure Rebooted (aka Head-2-Head Adventure)!!!! Download here: https://sites.google.com/site/h2hadventure/home Now you're playing against..... (maybe me) and you get to the black castle and get the chalice from the red dragon and you return it to your castle .....only to find that your castle is locked because someone else locked your castle and took off with the key! LOL!! This game is quite addicting! And its an awesome twist on an already awesome game! I've played a couple of games against the creator and other Adventure fans and they agree, this classic is even better! A current drawback (but minor) - you have to shut down the program and restart it to begin a new game each time. Ro may fix this in the future if there's enough interest in the game. (and some computers anti-virus programs will flag this game too, but its perfectly fine) https://www.facebook.com/h2hadventure https://twitter.com/h2hadventure h2h Adventure already has a magazine review: https://www.oldschoolgamermagazine.com/head-to-head-adventure-for-pc-and-mac/ BTW - I did create a private Facebook PM of those of us who downloaded the game, so that we can find a 2nd (or 3rd) player to play against. Let me know if you would like to be added so that more of us can enjoy this new version of a classic! (contact me either thru Atari.IO PM or here) See you in the game! ENJOY!!

Atari 5200 Guy Posted March 26, 2018 Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 Exciting!! I like how that looks. Will have to try it out sometime. Arenafoot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioPoultry Posted May 11, 2019 Report Share Posted May 11, 2019 The game is back up. I just tried it out. It almost feels like Adventure was made for this! Arenafoot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slobu Posted May 11, 2019 Report Share Posted May 11, 2019 I played this with a Twitch streamer in an earlier version. It was a blast! At one point we had 3 players LAN party style. No gotchas.

RadioPoultry Posted May 11, 2019 Report Share Posted May 11, 2019 There was as many as 4 of us in the lobby when they put the game up a few hours ago, but now I think we might need to schedule a game if we want to find other players.

fergojisan Posted May 18, 2019 Report Share Posted May 18, 2019 I totally forgot this was happening, thanks for the reminder. I haven't tried it yet where there was a lobby 😁 Arenafoot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioPoultry Posted May 18, 2019 Report Share Posted May 18, 2019 Someone's scheduled some games for this weekend, but they didn't say which time-zone. I may check in on occasion if I have time. Arenafoot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioPoultry Posted May 18, 2019 Report Share Posted May 18, 2019 So I was in the game and I spoke with the developer (his player name is "ro"). Apparently the time shown for the scheduled games is adjusted automatically for your time-zone. Arenafoot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ro.anders Posted May 18, 2019 Report Share Posted May 18, 2019 If you're looking at the schedule in-game, all times are converted to local time Website, h2hadventure.com, will also have upcoming game nights listed Justin, Arenafoot and RadioPoultry 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioPoultry Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 If anyone is interested, here's this weekend's three scheduled game times: May 25 2pm PST / 5pm EST/ 9pm GMT May 26 7pm PST/ 10pm EST/ (May 27) 2am GMT May 27 6am PST / 9am EST / 1pm GMT Unusually, I ended up getting the entire weekend off work, so I should be able to attend any or all of these!

fergojisan Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 I will try to make it Monday morning after work. I can't do Saturday or Sunday, unfortunately. I can't wait to try the new version of this! StormSurge and RadioPoultry 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioPoultry Posted May 27, 2019 Report Share Posted May 27, 2019 (edited) Had a fun time with Acererak and Ro on 3-player competitive this evening. If anyone else wants to try tomorrow (Monday), the game is at 6am PST, 9am EST. I'm going to try to be there.

fergojisan Posted May 27, 2019 Report Share Posted May 27, 2019 I fell asleep on the couch, but I sent out a call. I'll be here until 940 am EST or so. Sorry if I missed you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioPoultry Posted May 27, 2019 Report Share Posted May 27, 2019 (edited) That second to last game ferg, ro and I played had an amazing ending: I had locked ferg and ro in the black castle, and then the bat stole the key from me. Moments later, the bat came back with the key, unlocked the castle, flew inside, grabbed the chalice, flew back out, and went right into one of player's castles (I forget whose). I recorded it, but I didn't catch my own voice audio (I did on the next game). Edited May 27, 2019 by RadioPoultry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadioPoultry Posted May 29, 2019 Report Share Posted May 29, 2019 As to why I kept bothering with the gold key around the 2:17 mark in the video above... I had forgotten which castle was mine. Oops. Arenafoot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
