Hi Thomas. Thanks for looking at my page and for the questions.
- You are correct, the whole game is basically "fun with playfields" except
for the cursor, which is player 1. I tried to integrate player 2 to mark
the important car, but ran into problems. (See below)
- I added sound effects for when a level is solved. You'll get the idea...
(See below)
- I consider myself very lucky on this game, as I started to reach the end
and integrate nice little things I wanted to put in, I ran out of memory.
After reshuffling my graphics and sound data to avoid crossing pages, I had
about 16 bytes left out of the 4K on the current version of the game.
- If you follow the links for Philip Cheng on my web site, he has a few
links to other Rush Hour websites, including a fellow that has a java
version that has different puzzles each week.
Also, I have added additional content to my Crazy Valet web page, including
a download page at which you can download a demonstration version of the
game to decide if you want to request a cartridge. Please visit the page

And as always, questions or comments are welcome.

Hello Brian,

I didn't know that game before, so i followed some of
the links on your page. Hey, i like it! Thank you!
Your conversion looks quite good and i have some
comments and questions:
- It looks like everything except the cursor is done
with playfield graphics. If you use a player, it
should be possible to color the players car. That
would add some color to the game, which i am missing
now.
- Do you have any sound effects?
- You write that your game has 26 levels. I think this
limits the fun a lot. If you have any space left, you
should add some more challenging levels.
It would be even better, if you find a way to generate
levels on the fly. I don't know an algorithm for
this yet (i'm going to find out), but i think it
should be possible. Maybe somebody else has an idea.
Thomas
