In an exciting update for Atari 8-bit enthusiasts, several classic titles have been newly enabled for high score recording via the FujiNet device.
The FujiNet device, widely recognized in the Atari community, allows users to connect their Atari XL/XE series computers to the Internet. This innovation gives gamers the opportunity to compete for high scores on a global platform, adding a new dimension to the gaming experience.
The following Atari 8-bit titles have recently been enabled for high scores on FujiNet, as announced by Thomas "tschak909" Cherryhomes (USA):in the AtariAge forum
▪ «Defender» (Atari, 1982), released just in time for Christmas.
▪ «Dig Dug» (Atari, 1982), another Christmas addition for FujiNet users.
▪ «Missile Command» (Atari, 1981), now available for high score competition.
▪ «Congo Bongo» (SEGA, 1983), also enabled for recording scores.
▪ «Qix» (Atari, 1982), in version for the Atari 5200 console. "It works completely self-sufficient. ATR files can be marked in such a way that they allow reading and writing to sectors of the disk image that correspond to the high score table. I have been adding high score tables to games that do not have them and adding the high score enable bytes to the ATR so that FujiNet can read and write to the disk images. Placing them on my TNFS server (apps.irata.online) and creating aweb scraperwhich updates the scoring web pages every time there is a new high score," Cherryhomes explained.
In addition to these titles, «Centipede» (Atari, 1981), «Hot Lips» (London Software, 1982) and «Pengo» (Atari, 1983) have been added. For «Centipede, it is worth highlighting the collaboration of Jean-Baptiste "Djaybee" Quéru (France).
The continued expansion of FujiNet-compatible games reinforces the vitality of the Atari 8-bit community and its commitment to innovation.
