Retro365 | Floyd of the Jungle - MicroProse Software, 1982 - Atari 8-bit @Retro365 | Uploaded January 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 day ago.
A short presentation of Sid Meier's Floyd of the Jungle, published for the Atari 8-bit in 1982 by his and Bill Stealey's newly founded MicroProse Software.
Floyd of the Jungle was the second game published by MicroProse and the only platform game by Meier, who would go on to become one of the world's most acclaimed game developers.
This is the 1983 version (version II) which was written in Assembly Language instead of the original done in Atari BASIC. Version II played better and allowed the computer to control any unused players, and was the version ported to the Commodore 64 in 1984.
I'm the yellow character, the rest are controlled by the computer. The Atari allowed for 4 human players which made the game much more fun, when playing against friends... despite its awful collision detection.
I'll link to the corresponding article on my blog when it's ready.
