More adventures in game crunching...



I've uploaded the 4th volume of Apple Crunch to http://www.dosius.net:8080/crunch/crunch4.dsk.gz

This disk contains the following games:

Aquatron (kind of a Defender clone)
Crossfire
Falcons (clone of Phoenix/Condor)
Firebird
Nightcrawler (clone of Centipede)
Star Trek
Xevious
Zenith

A little word on Xevious. This was holy hell to crunch, and for some reason, it won't work on 48K DOS, or on ProDOS with BASIC.SYSTEM loaded. It will hang during decompression. (Perhaps because the unrelocated code sits right on top of the DOS code, though this wasn't a problem for Hard Hat Mack for some reason.) It works with RDOS (which is what I use for the releases, as it's fast as hell because of its incompatible filesystem), 64K Diversi-DOS, STOS relocated onto the language card (and so prolly any 64K DOS 3.3 clone), and ProDOS with PDOS.SYSTEM. I don't know if it tries to save scores, that might cause some trouble too as I've smashed DOS.
