I almost cried when I heard this:'(. But thanks for the great memories from my childhood. Loved this game. We had so much fun with it. 18 years ago. What a great time that was. Thanks from Slovakia
:o me EMOCIONO!!!! amaba este juego, marco mi life tanto que me ise analista de sistemas xD jajaja hay un DJ chileno que se llama ZYBEX en honor al juego. tiene musica muy muy buena del estilo trance sicodelico y demas
Wow! I went back to Necros, Diablos, Beros, Scorpious and of course Zybex Planet. Although this game was released in 1988 I finished it in 2000 with my old Atari 800xl it was hard to play if you don't have a parter but I did it. G -R -E -A -T memories
Most PAL games (50 Hz) runs faster on NTSC machines (60 Hz). About 20% faster to be exact. This makes sound tempo faster than originally produced, ans music being "different". This of course made some games made for PAL machines, unplayable on NTSC machines (Elektraglide, Unicum), or produced minor artifacts (Zybex, Draconus), or appears playable, but at some point gives pretty strange bugs (Amaurote, Black Lamp)
They really needed to add this to their game Sirius on the Atari 7800. Of course that would've required a cart-based POKEY audio chip but that would've definitely improved things.
@pastelpajero yeah. its weird. i always set the emulator at 60 hz because games run the way i remeber, at that frecuency. Maybe it something related to NTSC and PAL. because 60hz its associated to NTSC (here we use ntsc) and 50hz (slower) its associated to PAL (europe)... or something like that. :S
this game was so awesome, they are the same people who created Draconus, which another great game, with an awesome soundtrack as well. but this is fast forwarded a bit
Sres y Sras del dia de hoy y publico en general ...con ustedes la primera maquina con sonido FX el ATARI 800XL y dejenme decirles que su sonido era mejor que la C64 repito mejor el sonido ya que en juegos la C64 le sacaba la michi al ATARI 800XL y no porque era menos el primer computador sino que los programadores se fueron a la C64....bueno eso es otra historia ....ATARI 800XL es mejor sonido sin competidores de su epoca por los siglos de los siglos amen....
I played both version, Atari 130 XE, and Commodire 64, the Atari version was much better in music wise, and the sound effects were better on the Atari, same thing with Ninja, the Atari version was better in sound effects, and music. good old days
