Title: TEX - Bubble Bobble - Atari ST Cracktro Remake
Post by: padman on October 02, 2009: Hi guys!

Yup, it's me bothering again with a fresh Atari ST remake! :kewl: (Apologies to all who cannot be bothered with remakes and were expecting something else! ;)) This time we have a pretty old goodie. Bubble Bobble by The Exceptions aka. TEX from the year 1987. TEX started off with cracktros and later released some cool demos. Jochen Hippel aka. Mad Max was a member of this group!
When you view the remake you might say to yourself "Oi, why isn't the stuff centered on screen?" This is - for all who don't know already - because the Atari ST didn't use the whole screen. It had borders. But slick coders found ways to break those borders and it then became in vogue to use the whole screen in cracktros and intros.... That's what I tried to mimic here.
As always, the original Atari exe is included.

Some more facts:

Group: The Exceptions aka. TEX
Release Year: 1987

Sadly it doesn't state a coder only a cracker, so you can't really tell who coded the intro. Music could be by Mad Max. Anybody an idea where the music could be from?

Edit: It's a Zoolook cover. Thanks Buckethead! :clap:

I hope it works (it uses alpha blending, so you never know ::)), so enjoy watching it and have a nice weekend you all!

Bye, Pad :)

P.S. It would be great again, if somebody who can use the force at RR could upload it there. Thanks in advance!
