+atari2600land Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 As some of you may know, I have been writing games for the Odyssey². This is a thread for the current game I'm working on called "Super Giuseppe!" which is basically Super Mario Bros. on the Odyssey². In this binary, you start from the beginning. There are two levels, the second one isn't finished yet, in fact I'm not even halfway done with it yet. In the second level, you're falling and the object of it is to avoid the enemies and get to the end of the level (the end of the level hasn't been programmed in yet. It just loops forever right now.) What do you think? giu30beginning.bin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Gemintronic Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Never got to level 2. Very cool though. I take it that's not really scrolling, right? I would NEVER fake scrolling myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted October 3, 2012 Author Share Posted October 3, 2012 Works on an Odyssey2. Need a Videopac/Jopac tester. giu32.bin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+atari2600land Posted January 13, 2013 Author Share Posted January 13, 2013 I fixed the problem I was talking about in today's blog entry. When this new version is played on real hardware, the ship sometimes blinks. I don't know what is causing it. Well, anyway, at least it looks better than it did. Here's the latest binary file. giu38.bin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted January 16, 2013 Author Share Posted January 16, 2013 I went back and redid level 1 so it looks nicer. Here's a little video of it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=szKe_y55edc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted January 28, 2013 Author Share Posted January 28, 2013 Fiddling around with level 2 now. It's very early start, so there's not much to do right now. giu39.bin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted March 17, 2013 Author Share Posted March 17, 2013 I'm back working on this again. Got it so the coins can have different places in the level. Still not much to do except swim and avoid the fish. giu45.bin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted March 29, 2013 Author Share Posted March 29, 2013 Ending test. This is code for testing the end of level 2. Level 2 will be longer than what it is now, so if the game gets finished, you'll see the ending later than when it shows up now. giu49.bin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Gemintronic Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 I haven't caught up with all your progress. I'm still in awe of your level 1 enhancements! Looks like you figured out a way to have your character "stomp" the enemies. Good work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted March 30, 2013 Author Share Posted March 30, 2013 Here's a video of some more enhancements to level 1. Thanks for the compliments. http://youtu.be/geXYkDgWyAM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted April 13, 2013 Author Share Posted April 13, 2013 (edited) Begun work on level 3. Right now there's nothing much to do. Shooting the bird is impossible right now and because of this, I put him at a place where you can't get him. Stuff to do: +make bird move from right to left +make bird disappear when you shoot him +add new bird y positions +add new coin y positions if you have any suggestions, give them to me to consider. giu56.bin Edited April 13, 2013 by atari2600land Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted May 2, 2013 Author Share Posted May 2, 2013 I'm just curious as to what you think about level 3 and its difficulty. Too hard? giulevel3.bin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybearg Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Does it come with any overlays? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted May 2, 2013 Author Share Posted May 2, 2013 This is an Odyssey2, not an original Odyssey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted May 6, 2013 Author Share Posted May 6, 2013 I've decided to give up on this one right now because it looks like it's too ambitious for me and my poor programming skills. I may come back to it in a few years (or when I hope to have enough skills to master programming this stupid thing.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Gemintronic Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Sorry I didn't find time to cobble together an emulator. I used to play your builds on my Dingoo but that got lost somewhere in my house. It's good to know when to take a break from a project. Sometimes it's the only way forward, funnily enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted June 3, 2013 Author Share Posted June 3, 2013 OK, I'm back working on this again! This latest build has level 1 and level 2. If you get a game over in level 2, you start at the beginning of level 1, but if you finish level 2, you begin at the beginning of level 2. giufirsthalfjune32013.bin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted June 24, 2013 Author Share Posted June 24, 2013 Super Giuseppe is finished, unless someone finds a bug on European hardware (VideoPac). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZylonBane Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 So, is there any specific reason you decided to give this a name that pretty much nobody knows how to pronounce? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted June 27, 2013 Author Share Posted June 27, 2013 Giuseppe is an Italian name. So is Mario. I couldn't think of any other Italian name besides Mario, Luigi, and Giuseppe. I thought it was pronounced "ju-sep-ay". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted October 15, 2013 Author Share Posted October 15, 2013 Judging from the less-than-luke-warm reaction, I've decided to retool the game to try to make it better. Right now I'm working on level 1. I've put the clouds back in. Bugs are expected since I'm in the middle of working on this right now. giulevel1oct152013.bin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Cafeman Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 One of my best friends' name is Giuseppe. Pronounced "Ja-sepp'-pee". He also goes by "Joe". Yes, an Italian family (his parents were born in Italy). I LOL'd at the pun when I first saw this post. Keep working on it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killersquirel Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Is there an odyssey cartridge that you can load binaries on to play on a real machine? I'm extremely interested in trying this on real hardware. -mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's called C7050, and I was lucky enough to buy one when I had the chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
