Atari 400 / 800 / XL / XE

Latest version is actually 2.00 now and available at https://forums.atariage.com/topic/389640-experiments-with-claude-invaders/

not "arcade perfect" by any means, but in some ways it is better than the arcade with faster more intense gameplay. A great take on Bosconian created by the master coder Shanti.

I'm the author of this game, thank you for sharing it ! If you're interested I've released another game before this on AtariAge, it's called Hoops

There is a typo in the program here: line 2400 should read: 2400 A=35:RETURN and not A=55:RETURN. This will change the. 7's into trees on the map.

Incredible presentation with great music & graphics, but the gameplay falls a bit flat. The pieces spawn in random orientations for some reason, the entire upper border of the playfield causes game over instead of just where the piece spawns, and the biggest issue is that there is no DAS (delayed auto-shift, like when you hold a key on a keyboard) when you hold a direction.

Pretty okay version of Tetris. Unfortunately no music, only minimal sounds. It reminds me a lot of the original MS-DOS version by Vadim Gerasimov.

The only bad thing about this one is, that I neither had it back in the day nor have I stumbled upon it sooner.. Quite a fun game.

From issue #47 (December 1990 / January 1991) of New Atari User.

I wrote this game back in the day on a 130XE. I've since recreated it to run online, with additional graphics. https://www.cygnus-x1.net/links/skull_island/ Enjoy-

Just found the original floppy disk on eBay but at first only got scrambled screen until I held down the Option key during the boot up process. Now, game runs fine on my stock XEGS.
