  1. Past hour
  2. Mr Proper is only a Demo btw. Impressive visuals though.
  3. might be helpful to show sdrive max settings and what you have in the drive slots. make sure screen saver is off, any speeder should be off, long file names off POST your atr so it can be checked to see what you are using and what combination DOS/xex etc.
  4. Awesome story. I do wonder if Atari has ever tried to contact Al Lewis's estate to see if they could license his likeness. Fame may suck, but you could tell me your real name and I would have no idea who you are.
  5. I had a thought, are you loading the xex programs from dos?
  6. Thank you so much for playing Pac-Line 2600, so glad you enjoy it! 🙂 - James
  7. In the upper right hand corner, where it says "Intellivision," they show an artist's rendition of the Atari 2600 version, not the Intellivision version. I guess they wanted the people buying it to think it was similar to their Atari version? I don't know.
  8. Hahah, you're welcome, it was a lot of fun playing Destroyer 7800 on ZPH! The cats are really the stars of the show. 😉 - James
  9. Today
  10. Since the Jaguar is unarguably the best console, you must not be using it properly. Though I'm for sure beating a dead horse here, have you tried playing with the Jaguar sitting in your lap, such that your nostrils inhale the generated fumes in a more concentrated fashion? The controller also becomes more awesome once you become very good at holding it in a different manner for each game that utilizes the keypad, such that you can utilize that game's preferred arbitrary overlay layout. E.g., if you can't play with it resting on your knee at an angle such that you can do an extra fast turn by holding down A+C while performing a flawless first-attempt weapon switch on the keypad while strafing a few tanks and helicopters using the advanced steering/control mode, you're probably still stuck on Level 1 of Iron Soldier 2, just like me. Note this is a level the only strategy guide I'm aware of for this game refers to as "an easy warm-up to get your feet wet," while the next mission's description begins by saying 'Time for a "real" mission!' FML.
  11. My first ever acting gig was a small role in a movie with Al Lewis. I remember sitting at the table with him for hours, both waiting to do our scene - we were waiting until the wee hours. He was a lovely, lovely guy. He offered me chewing tobacco. I was 14! Haha. He told me he never watched anything he was in, I was fascinated by that but now I understand it. I was a huge Munsters fan so it was so cool to be able to spend that evening with him and then even be in a scene with him! Al said to the other folk we were with "You watch this boy, he'll be famous in a year". It was 18 months later that I landed a core cast role in a TV show that still runs to this day. I was in it for 13 years and I literally couldn't go anywhere in NZ without being recognised (fame sucks, btw). Al was only 6 months off. Haha. And now I'm a poor game dev... RIP Al Lewis. Such a legend. I need to play this game now...
  12. Just watched the show. Thank you for including my game. Awesome watching you both play, really a great feeling watching people enjoying a game you made. I have to say though, my favorite part was when your cat was sitting propped up against the wall. I laughed out loud at that. Thanks again.
  13. I love how you guys add 'dust covers' to all of your products as part of the packaging. It may not be a conscious thing but I use them for that. The 2600+ one doesn't fit when it's plugged up though. lol
  14. I gotta say, I don't think you could have chosen three better games for the 7800 to kick off. Even I have heard of these (Sega nut) and played them! I have already pre-ordered everything from Mighty Ape here in NZ. Ninja Golf is so much fun.
  15. Sorry but not familiar with this. Could you please explain for a 7800GD newbie?
  16. Sorry @Ben from Plaion but would you perhaps be able to answer this for me? perhaps it was overlooked during testing? It only affects the team games in breakout where two players can play at once.
  17. whackem_game.rom We're in the mid to late alpha stage. This demo lets you play one round with standard settings. Once it's finished, the game halts and needs to be restarted either with the reset button on the ColecoVision, or the appropriate option on your favorite CV emulator. I'm liking where this is going. I have the level logic for the first two stages set up, but it's not read yet, nor is that section of the game finished. Adjusting the level stats not only makes the game faster or slower, but can be used to create special situations ("sure shot" stages where players are given a limited number of targets, making accuracy a must, "speed round" stages where TONS of Byrons pop out of the holes, etc.). The original plan was to include bonus stages, but I haven't gotten to that yet... I imagine it'll be tricky. While I'm at it, here are a few conceptual scenes in the game. High scores are a possibility, but let's see where development takes us first. The red game over screen appears only when the player strikes a bomb... it's a little showy and may not be in the final build because of memory constraints. (I'm doing pretty well with ROM size so far, but there's still sound effects to worry about.) Anyway! Give it a spin, let me know what you think.
  18. Increased my score a bit. I am playing on "normal" difficulty on that rom that has "Game 1"
  19. Sorry for getting all AVGN on the Jaguar. I just really dislike the system, but each to their own
  20. I suppose I am "quite wrong" about my use of a poorly constructed sentence in the bolded bits. What I meant to say is that this particular collection of Famicom games are all bootlegs, and these particular bootleg titles are dime-a-dozen bootlegs that are "not very collectible." But they do have value to someone who's gonna play them. And I suppose ANYTHING is "collectible" so long as there is someone who collects it. I am, however, confident that collectors of bootleg Famicom games are in a very small minority. Or at least, they should be. A lot of the luster of collecting Asian bootlegs (or any other bootleg, for that matter) wears off quickly when one realizes that purchasing bootleg games contributes to software piracy. It cheats the legal copyright holders of those games out of revenue they -- not the bootleggers -- richly deserve. Bootleggers = criminals. Just so you know. So yeah, I too am of the mindset that unauthorized = garbage. Not to start an argument or anything. I'm just saying I hold a different opinion. -Ben
  21. Hi All, I've bene trying to find the Lo and HI TOS images for the ENG version of TOS 2,.06, I just need the two ROM version. Know where I can download so I can burn with my EPROM programmer? Thanks
  22. When you select a game, the LTO issues the reset signal to the Intellivision. Some Intellivisions don't response so the LTO + Intellivision look hung. I have an Intellivision that does the same thing. Just do a quick tap on the Reset button and the game should start.
