Chuckie Egg 2 Map Project. Give your vote!

What made a lot of old games fun was the mapping. Now back then I wasn't the greatest with a ruler or pen or surviving very far in many of these games. Some were really difficult which really hindered mapping. It wasn't very easy to map either unless you had a VCR or a replay cartridge to take a screenshot of every screen.

But now with the C64 emulator WinVice (this really rocks for taking screen shots) and paintshop pro it is now sooo easy to construct and gel together a decent map that looks good and no artist talent whatsoever! woohoo. Just add some time and stir. It's also nice to see that these screens fit seamlessly. A lot of fun.

I played this game years ago. I always planned to map it and finish it. But, by God, I won't let the little rascal get away this time. Come 'ere you! Very Happy

What did ye think? Anyone like to see the full map when it's finished? The commodore was great for huge maps.
I have come across a lot of maps but there are a lot of games that haven't been. Wizard's Lair is another. If Chuckie Egg 2 works out I will do Wizard's Lair after. Another nice map.

I'll come with info as I go along if ye are interested enough...? :p

I think it's a great idea. Everyone should map their favourite game and submit it; I know I did.

Once I did the Bruce Lee map since i wasn't able to find one over the net.
I was sure my map was the only one avaiable for downl. but I was wrong, a couple of day ago i've found that map, Smila did it Smile

PS Hamster: don't ask permission to create a map, just do it if you can have fun Smile

Well, it's finished. Wow! That was truely fun doing. So easy too. Took less than 1 day using the WinVice Emulator and paintshop pro. Consists of 120 screens. Created in less than 1 day. The high quality is available for anyone who wants it. It one very large 277K bitmp zipped. Just send an email to me at jamesjryan@eircom.net with Chuckie Egg 2 as a header and I'll send it on to you.

I'm wondering what C64 maps to do now. Any suggestions? I might do Wizards's Lair next. That is a big one with 7 or so levels. I definitely haven't come across any maps on the net for Wizard's Lair.

Oh btw, I did come across a Chuckie Map for the spectrum but doesn't count. Very Happy
