additional information
info 0.36b8 [Zsolt Vasvari]

0.31 [Brad Oliver]

WIP:
  • 0.82: MASH simulated protection in Fly-Boy so the original version works.
  • 0.36b9: Changed clock speed of the 2x AY-8910 to 1536000 Hz.
  • 0.36b8: Zsolt Vasvari added Fly-Boy (Kaneko 1982). Renamed (flyboy) to (flyboyb).
  • 21st October 1999: Zsolt Vasvari added the original Fly-Boy romset to the driver.
  • 0.33: Fixed colors in Fast Freddie.
  • 0.33b3: Zsolt Vasvari accurated colors in Fast Freddie/Fly-Boy.
  • 0.31: Brad Oliver added Fly-Boy (Kaneko 1982) and Zsolt Vasvari added clone Fast Freddie (Atari 1982). Cocktail mode doesn't work in Fly-Boy. This seems a problem with the original.

history Fast Freddie (c) 10/1982 Atari.


Take off on a fantastic video trip. A voyage that simulates the thrills and skills of actual Hang Gliding. Players use the joystick to control Freddie, but good timing and strategy is necessary to successfully negotiate invisible air currents, wind direction and up and down drafts. This game has incredible visual impact for this time, Freddie flies the skies over the Alps--over trains, trees, bridges, through winter and summer seasons; over the Pacific--over a yacht, tropical islands, an aircraft carrier; and over Egypt--camels, Pyramids, the Taj Mahal, the Sphinx, through day and night landscapes. It's a complete global challenge with non-stop action over a continuously changing panorama below.
