  • Great arcade game from 1983 by Bill Williams (Synapse Software). This is Atari XL/XE version. Check out the PC version too: • Alley Cat - PC gamepla...

    In fewest words, Bill was a genius.

    There's something that's startlingly psychedelic/avant garde about the flow of this game. Bill Williams had a talent for making video games that, to this day, feel like nothing else ever made by anyone. Mindwalker is dying for a playable modern version, but I honestly don't think it's possible to "remake" the game without losing the unique character that Bill put into things. The man was an auter before his time.

    some of the funkiest and strangest sound effects to ever come out of a pokey chip.

      I loved Agent USA. It had perfect theme song. And what I played a lot with my brother was Spy vs. Spy and M.U.L.E. By the way, MULE have modern version. www.mulereturns.com/

      @MelanieLaurentFan Před 8 lety +1

      The best version was on Atari XE sharpest graphics, faster and joystick is better than keyboard or pads. Playing it You feel like You are controlling a cat on speed lol

    • @seven0929
      @seven0929 Před 8 lety

      And this is running at the sluggish PAL frame rate. Really murders the peppy theme song.

    This was so funny and entertaining, I loved this as a kid, but I didn't get all the humour.
    Like how cats need clothes or fabric to be able to stick, or like the literal "falling out of love" @6:40. (The kitty love is so adorable when it happens.)

    Intro music is 1/2 speed. Play video at 2x speed to hear the theme song properly

    • @GadZombie
      @GadZombie  Před 6 měsíci

      it's because PAL system was used. You mean the NTSC system, where the speed is on 60Hz, and for PAL is 50Hz.

    Damn, I had no idea this was an Atari game. I remember playing the DOS version so so many years ago. This looks fantastic! Really genius and orignal game for its time. Especially compared to the so many generic games that were available.

    How the hell did Bill get these sound effects from the Pokey? The Bubbly water, shock effects, miawing etc etc. I've never heard anything like it on an Atari, since.
