AtariBrian Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 @Bob Looking forward to purchase this great release in the AA store. Actually, I just ordered six homebrews for my arriving 7800 and all are done by you I just hope you get a fair share of all AA store purchases and Albert doesn't gobble it all up Please keep games like these coming Why only six ? I hope you ordered Failsafe . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariBuff Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Yes, Failsafe is among them. I even ordered some that I have on the MultiCart 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebor Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Why only six ? I hope you ordered Failsafe . You can't go wrong with Bob's homebrews, they are fantastic - I purchased and own them all. Additionally, don't forget about Ken Siders phenomenal ports of Q*bert (b*nQ) and BurgerTime (Beef Drop) available in the AtariAge store. We're fortunate the 7800 has some excellent homebrews developed and even more active on the horizon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariBuff Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 New to the 7800 and have a modded one shipped my way at the moment, so I decided to order a first batch but more will follow for sure Thanks for the suggestions - Ken Siders' homebrews will be on the next order Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocEss Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 I'll toss in two cents, and say that as one of the people with a complete 7800 collection - even after I owned all the retail releases, I didn't call my collection "complete" until I had all of Bob's games. They're THAT good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhomaios Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 So I minor question: did the composer of the music have Dance of the Hours or Hello Muddah in mind? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synthpopalooza can answer it best of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhomaios Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Weird, I actually did a search on that, but nothing was turning up at all! I wonder if I just did something wrong. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Weird, I actually did a search on that, but nothing was turning up at all! I wonder if I just did something wrong. Thanks! It's spelled as Hello Mudduh in the linked post, which is probably why you didn't find it. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PacManPlus Posted August 12, 2014 Author Share Posted August 12, 2014 Hi guys: Just saw these responses - thank you as always for the compliments. I'm not on as often as I'd like to be, but you guys mean a lot to me. Bob 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synthpopalooza Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 So I minor question: did the composer of the music have Dance of the Hours or Hello Muddah in mind? Both actually. I wanted to go with a classical theme for the music, like the original arcade game, and I remembered this piece of music from Disney's "Fantasia", which originally inspired the Alan Sherman song. Plus, coincidentally it seems, some people associate it with an 80's Charmin ad too. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XM05ES Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I got a brief chance to play this at the AtariAge booth at the Classic Games Fest in Austin TX a few weeks ago. I only got a couple of minutes in as people were lining up to try it! The emulator helped me out when I got home and I had a great time playing the rest of the current available build! I know this has been said before, but this game hits a very emotional nerve for me as I always knew that my 7800 could handle something like this. A big thanks to everyone involved in making this happen! Here's a very small detail that I appreciated: Bentley seems to walk and behave exactly as his character did in his original arcade game. Brilliant! I'm still new here. Do I need to succinctly state that I want to buy one of these, at this point? (Because I'd really like 2, if anybody's counting!) Crazy Brix is also still getting a lot of play at my house! Cheers! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PacManPlus Posted September 2, 2014 Author Share Posted September 2, 2014 Myself, PAC-MAN-RED (graphics), and Synthpopolooza (sound) Thanks you for the kind words! Glad you enjoy it. BTW, did you finish the game? (and thank you for the compliments on Crazy Brix as well) Bob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synthpopalooza Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I still haven't finished it yet. And it's only been played in emulation so far for me. The real thing will have to wait till I get a power adapter and TV box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebor Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 The 'definitive' challenge is to beat the game without using continues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XM05ES Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Thanks you for the kind words! Glad you enjoy it. BTW, did you finish the game? (and thank you for the compliments on Crazy Brix as well) Bob I didn't finish it, yet. I'm at level 4 round 3 and still playing. Tons of fun! I'm using the ProSystem emulator and the version you posted in November 2013. Is that the latest? Is that the best emulator to test with? The Tchailovsky and Dukas are great and seem to fit the game perfectly! I was looking for something like Crazy Brix for a long time! I'd suggest a port to other systems, but I wouldn't want to use anything other than a paddle to play it! Keep up the great work! Cheers!

PacManPlus Posted September 6, 2014 Author Share Posted September 6, 2014 Thank you The Crystal Quest bin is pretty much the latest, except for some small changes to work with the new boards There's a hidden 6th level too by the way not necessary to complete the game, but a new area + more points. Thank you again, Bob 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DrVenkman Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Thank you The Crystal Quest bin is pretty much the latest, except for some small changes to work with the new boards When these are available in physical cartridge form, I'm definitely planning to get one. This looks wonderful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Dangerous Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 I moved recently and most of my consoles had to go in storage for the year. I only have my Wii U, Jaguar, 7800 and Genesis out. THIS game is the only reason my 7800 isn't in storage right now. Can't WAIT for it to get here!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jinks Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 For sure Bob alone has kept the 7800 alive. Without his efforts their would be very very few new games and perhaps all hardware for the 7800 would have never been made as everyone would have lost interest in the 7800 long ago. Bob is the reason to own and play a 7800. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stun Runner 87 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Yes, Failsafe is among them. I even ordered some that I have on the MultiCart I have every bob homebrew. He truely is great at his craft. They are better games than most of the origional 7800 releases. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
