I always feel that you should try something that will look really good on the Atari 8-bit computers. I've always missed a decent Galaga game on the Ataris - and I thought it would be good to see a decent Xevious game - see the 'HawkQuest' videos I've uploaded - which is a completed game (This did take up to 3 years part time work 1986-1989) - in the endgame animation, we tried to do something special for that...
@TheMarioMan1 No, this is not for the 2600. This is for the Atari 8-bit computer family (800XL, 65XE, 130XE; not sure if it'll run on a 600XL or the original 400/800)
Okay, it was kinda possible to downgrade it to 8 bit Atari, doesn't even look as crappy as I imagined, but just a demo without any enemies isn't pretty satisfying...
Well it never got completed, should have been released not long after the ST version got released, but the company went bust. As it stands the demo proved that it could be produced for the Atari 8-bit machines, and given that the Amiga was the stablemate of that series of computers, its a pity it was never finished
why couldn't they make the actual atari games look and sound this good?

That's probably the best grapics on the Atari anything could pull off.
By the way, is this an actual Atari 2600 game? I don't think so, but I'm not sure.

Atari, made several 8-bit computers, and I believe the 5200 and or the 7600 was 8-bit as well...

Lo tuve en Amiga, fué sorprendente para la epoca, lo mismo con esta versión, da gusto verlo solo por el esfuerzo de meter ese juego en esa maquinita.
