Team ARG disappeared- how to get their games?

[Keyboard_Camper (Scott R)]

Great to see this stuff is being ARGhived to this day Virus LQP-79 remains a favourite.

[acedent (Andrew Dent)]

I’d be happy to help maintain Virus at least. Would be great to have the full commit history. The Museum has none?

@acedent

The Museum has none?

No. @Pharap just downloaded the .zip file for the latest commit of each repository. He then uploaded the files to newly created repositories in the museum.

@Pharap Did you still have access to the manuals for these tools? They aren’t included in the Museum’s repositories.

@raspberrybrain

Did you still have access to the manuals for these tools?

If you mean the Team A.R.G. bitmap converter tools, see this post and the one that follows it:

TEAM a.r.g. online graphic tools

The Team A.R.G. graphic tools are no longer available from the links in the original post. However, they can be used from a local copy. download the desired tool as a .zip file from the Team A.R.G Museum on GitHub: Image Converter Spritesheet Converter Tilesheet Converter Extract the .zip file somewhere. In your browser, open an “open file” dialog. For Firefox and Chrome the Ctrl+o keyboard shortcut can be used. Navigate to the directory tree that you extracted and open the index.htm file. …

Thanks. Yeah, I downloaded the zips from GitHub and the tools themselves work, but each tool had a Manual page explaining how to name the files, dimension requirements, etc. It looks like those weren’t included in the repos.

There are alternatives All The Arduboy Image Converters

I personally think https://framagit.org/zeduckmaster/ardu-imconvert/-/tags is the best by @zeduckmaster

[Zenith]

guys! the team arg website isn’t down! only the fron’t page doesn’t exist! the games can be fetched from here: http://www.team-arg.com/games.html

[Zenith]

@bateske

One of the half finished games on there is a pretty awesome isometric engine.

Which are you referring to?

[Mr.Blinky]

@Dreamer3

Which are you referring to?

Probably Escaper Droid

[ESPboy (Roman)]

does Escaper Droid finished? don’t see it in https://arduboy.ried.cl to play )

[bateske (Kevin)]

It runs but it has no functional gameplay. It looks like its based off some MSX game.

[Mr.Blinky]

It was most likely inspired by Alien 8

[bateske (Kevin)]

That’s the one! Nice find! It seems like several of the unfinished games are based off MSX titles.

[ESPboy (Roman)]

yes it runs and there are few rooms and enemies and artifacts but gameplay was not finished as i see. and it really looks like zx Spectrum “Alien 8” from my childhood )

Alien 8 Walkthrough, ZX Spectrum

[FManga (Felipe Manga)]

Does anyone have any of the original .arduboy files? The only one I have is Blob Attack and a hex of Sky Knights.

[bateske (Kevin)]

I think I do somewhere in a backup, I’ll have to check my other PC and external drives. I’ll report back here if I find them.
