A downloadable game for Windows

Last Days of Atlantis


I had been working on a remake of Atlantis which is based primarily on the Atari 2600 and Intellivision versions. Yeah it’s gonna be a mix of the 2 plus some new features added in. I also took inspiration from the Atari 8-bit personal computer system version.

Originally released in 2018.

Download the manual here (preview has issues but is still readable; also included in downloads): https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B9aBX97zgGJ0TXdMcXJybmRWaFU

Difficulty options:

  • Easy: Slowest enemies, Bandits don’t appear during the first night and destroy other ships when shot
  • Normal: Normal speed enemies, Bandits don’t appear during the first night
  • Hard: Faster enemies, Bandits appear in the first night
  • Contest: Fastest enemies, Bandits appear during the first night and destroy other ships when shot. Also different font and scoring.

A few words about the game. Atlantis was one of the first games I wanted to remake but I dropped the project due to lack of motivation (it was gonna be in a package with a Missile Command and Exed Exes remake, though that one was solely based on the 2600 version). This one here is completely redone cause I no longer have the files for my old version (other than the screenshot below), graphics or the game, though I tried to imitate the original style I had, with some improvements.

There are things I wasn’t terribly happy about but with the direction I’m taking it, I feel I’ve done the best I could without ruining the game or having to do a completely do-over which would probably cause me to lose motivation for finishing this game entirely (long story on that), so I wanted to do the smaller fixes and push this game along to be released.

Thanks for checking it out. It seems that's due to an update from Google's side requiring sign-ins to view public files. I've added a version in the downloads including the manual.
