About

This repository preserves the original 1988 6502 source code and batch build files for the Atari 7800 version of Crossbow, released as-is together with the original developer's final release notes, via a video-game-preservation project.

History

The included documentation is programmer Scott Marshall's own 1988 release notes, describing the final code's multi-bank memory layout and build/maintenance batch files.

Known limitations

  • features: Light gun code is a dummy subroutine with 512 bytes available for implementation.

Additional notes

Controls quirk
The source includes a placeholder ("dummy") light-gun input routine that always reports no input — light-gun support was apparently never finished, leaving joystick as the only working control method.
