Someone has already stepped forward, but I have to work on the details for this. Wizard of Wor will be covered in Astrocast #5, but since Chris isn't going to be a co-host anymore, I'm trying to line up someone else to co-host with me. There is no specific deadline for the feedback. Avoid, at all costs, playing Wizard of Wor on one of the PS2/Xbox game compilation discs, as the game runs about twice as fast as it should (it's a known bug). I've only ever played WOW under MAME emulation (and it works great). I don't think that I've ever played the Wizard of Wor coin-op in the arcade. Great- feedback from you will be wonderful. When is your deadline? When are you planning on releasing the Astrocast podcast episode? However, I will try to get it going in MAME and I think that should be sufficient, pairing that experience along with my memories. I do not have access to a coin-op arcade machine of WIZARD OF WOR. For example, who imagined back in 1993 the likes of Juno First on the 'lil 'ol woodgrain terror that is the Atari 2600? Even harder to believe is that that some of the best games on the 2600 system were still not going to be released for many years. Who would have thought back then that we'd still be playing the Atari VCS. Tim, I can't believe I first subscribed to The 2600 Connection back in 1993 or so. If you're gonna dive into the Astrocade's software library, then start with this "best of" list: It would be neat to hear a brand new Astrocade user's thoughts on this subject.
Since you're such a fan of Wizard of Wor, maybe you can give some feedback for the Astrocast comparing the Astrocade version of the game to the arcade version. If you get the chance to play it with two players, then you'll see that the game really shines in that mode. THE INCREDIBLE WIZARD is my reason to become an Astrocade fan and user.
One of my all time favorite overall games. I am blown away by THE INCREDIBLE WIZARD. (BTW, thanks for starting this thread- maybe it will get others to hop onto the Astrocade bandwagon.) If you have any other questions, then just let me know.
However, all commercially released cartridges, such as The Incredible Wizard or Cosmic Raiders (another top-notch game!) work fine. These are BASIC programs that run from cartridge, a hardware trick that works on real hardware, but isn't emulated in MAME. Note that MAME doesn't support quite a few of the cartridge ROMs referred to as BASICarts. Now start up MAME, select one of the three different versions of the Astrocade to emulate and start having some fun. Place all of the cartridge files into this directory (do not unzip these either). In the ROMS directory create another directory called astrocde (yes, it's missing the 'a'). In the ROMS directory place the Astrocade's three different ROM files (do not unzip them): In the MAME directory there is a directory called ROMS.
