greenween Posted August 20, 2023 Report Share Posted August 20, 2023 Finally have some time to spend on this. This version is absolutely perfect to me. Just to get on the board. 22,800.

socrates63 Posted August 20, 2023 Report Share Posted August 20, 2023 Another adVentureR 🛡️Welcome to the fun @greenween. I'm just hoping to get my AA Last Chance orders before Christmas 😂 With all the work that Al probably puts into preparing for PRGE, I have little hope that my orders will arrive before PRGE 😆 No worries though. greenween, RickR and Justin 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a great game! That's why I love these high score challenges as they get me to play games that I probably wouldn't play otherwise.

Thank you and yes, everyone should play it more. You have a week remaining 🙂 It's been a while since I've played the original. This version is pretty much equal to the Colecovision port. Room names and treasure screen are the obvious improvements. RickR, socrates63 and Justin 3 "Better to be king for a night than schmuck for a lifetime."

RickR Posted August 25, 2023 Report Share Posted August 25, 2023 The original version also doesn't fill in the rooms as you complete them. It makes it seem a little bit unfinished. And does it show the treasure collection? I don't think it does. Justin, socrates63 and greenween 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenween Posted August 25, 2023 Report Share Posted August 25, 2023 Correct on both. I forgot the rooms don't fill in.

TrekMD Posted August 25, 2023 Report Share Posted August 25, 2023 The original version is 4K. This one is 32K, so you know it has a lot more features than the original release, just with that. The rooms fill in, they grow as you enter them and shrink as you exit (that's not on the original), you have the treasure screen, the proper start screen with your main character moving around the treasure screen to pick up the bow and arrows before going down into the dungeon, etc. The updated port also has faster movement that matches the arcade. The original port is slow as molasses! greenween, RickR, socrates63 and 2 others 4 1 🖖 Going to the final frontier, gaming... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

socrates63 Posted September 1, 2023 Report Share Posted September 1, 2023 (edited) Thanks, Justin! Congratulations, Rick! Venture Reloaded was a very fun game. I wasn't sure that I'd enjoy it at all because, initially, it didn't look like my type of game. @Justin I think there's a typo in the post --> and let's make sure this Challenge continues on! Congratulations once again to Socrates63 for his BIG WIN... That should be RickR and not Socrates63 🙂 Edited September 1, 2023 by socrates63 greenween, RickR, Smell Dawg and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
