PAUL DI’ANNO (MAY 17, 1958 – OCTOBER 21, 2024)
From Paul's sister and manager Stjepan Juras:

'Dear fans and friends. A beautiful headstone has finally been placed on Paul's grave in the days leading up to his heavenly 67th birthday. Thank you to Paul's sister Sharon who sent me this photo so I could share it with you. Last week, the whole world has shown once again how much Paul means to them and how much he is missed.’

Time to contribute some #protondb reports here for the first time in a while. Things are looking smooth.

W00f w00f. This is a somewhat anachronistic environment for Gauss the #cyberwolf, he's native to late-M68k and POWER-architecture worlds and currently inhabits an arm64 "aluminum paperweight".

I'll update his references to match this eventually...

#Battlezone(1980) #GameBoy #Retrogames

Ok since the Tandy 1000 is apparently insufficient to run #BattleZone I'll play in a more capable machine😛

Atari Flashback Portable. Small black toy with a small screen, D pad on one side, and buttons on the other.

Ok so much for commercial #BattleZone clones.

Started searching for shareware and found some possibilities. Downloading an ISO of games from 1994 now.

Trying to not get distracted by oh wow i gotta try that!

AtariSoft Battlezone booter on Tandy1000

I don't think it's tandy /pcjr compatible, it seems to corrupt itself...

Or it's a copy protection thing...

#Atari #AtariSoft #BattleZone #Tandy1000

Atarioft Battlezone title screen. "Battlezone" written in big vector drawn letters with a vector tank below.

Corrupt title screen . "Battlezone" has weird random lines through it and the tank is a pile of random triangles.

Battlezone game screen. Red radar and indicators, cyan terrain, and a white tank to shoot at.

Glitched out game screen. Snow, one indicator reads "enemygin range", huge block of random lines blocking the center of the screen.

So, #RetroComputer peeps!

Yesterday I was playing 2600 #BattleZone and it's one of my favorite games. And I started wondering, is there a good Battlezone for #Tandy1000 ?

(Yes I grabbed the Atarisoft booter posted to archive.org yesterday I'm looking for something that can live on a hard drive and maybe has Tandy graphics and uses the 3 voice chip)

Remember Proton Pulse, the 3D Breakout/Arkanoid game on #PSVR and other #VRgaming platforms? I just discovered it’s been ported to Apple Vision Pro, with a launch sale going on.

It’s fun and controls really well! And it’s a VR game that won’t bother people who yet don’t have their “V legs,” because the player stays in one spot. (Next PSVR port I want: #Battlezone!) #VisionPro #AppleVisionPro

Autre #bigbox jamais ouverte parce que trouvée récemment dans cet état et que si jamais je veux y jouer, de toutes les manières, c'est aussi simple de le télécharger, ce reboot du #Battlezone préhistorique, FPS/RTS vraiment très cool et immersif sur le papier même si je n'ai jamais dépassé le stade de la démo.

On a fun-er note, I've started pulling together all the Battlezone figures I'd been modelling and printing in one place so that people can grab them and print their own if they are so inclined.

Inspired by a recent post from Jim Blimey, I had a look at Battlezone on the ZX Spectrum. The original, 1980, Atari cabinet had a viewfinder and classic tank controls - two joysticks controlling independent tank-tracks.

The 1984 ZX Spectrum version benefits from its relatively fast CPU and wireframe resolution and plays well. The OP wondered how it would play with twin sticks rather than a clunky keyboard layout, so I thought I'd try it.

Firing up the MISTer, I booted the game. My MISTer Speccy is setup fairly default and requires little tweaking from game to game. I had a go with the keyboard to make sure everything was working, then selected "Button/Key Remap for Game" from the System menu and mapped each stick's vertical axis (Up/Down) on my twin-stick PS2 controller to the four direction keys on the keyboard. Make sure you have Kempston joystick selected and it's off to the races!

And it's great! The keyboard layout is effective but a twin stick controller makes more sense to my brain and makes the game more fun as you maneuver nimbly around the battlefield.

It's not something that would have been possible on original hardware but is a nice quality of life benefit of emulation.
