am1933 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 After stopping reading the UK based magazine "Retrogamer"-due to it's lack of TI coverage-I made various attempts to up the ante and get them to aknowledge the 4a. The magazine has a readership of about 25,000 and who would believe what game scored highest in the homebrew section of issue 128? The Danish One's fame spreads!!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ksarul Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Most wonderful! TI coverage in a mass-market magazine in 2014--and recognizing one of the best games out there, no less! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found issue 128 << HERE >> , but saw no reference to it. Is there more than a paragraph dedicated to it? Any photos in the article? I just might buy a single issue if it has a couple of pages devoted to it. Oh, and BTW -- CONGRATULATIONS RASMUS! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homebrew section takes up about three pages and I am pretty sure you get a quick glimpse of it on a overview of the magazine on youtube. Roadhunter gets a screenshot and a medium sized paragraph.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udzAud4NL-w&feature=player_detailpage 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sometimes99er Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Excellent. Here's the text from the magazine: ROAD HUNTERFORMAT: TEXAS TI-99/4ADEVELOPER: RASMUS MOUSTGAARDDOWNLOAD: KIKSTART.EU/ROAD-HUNTER-TEXASPRICE: FREEThe inspiration for Road Hunter comes from Eighties coin-ops Road Fighter and Spy Hunter, but this isn’t a direct clone of either and it instead picks and chooses elements. The objective is to drive through the levels while destroying as many other cars as possible and this can be done either by ramming them off the road – trickier than it sounds since those collisions bounce the player around too – or collecting a weapon and blasting them. Fuel can be topped up by collecting barrels. Everything scrolls as smoothly as we’ve come to expect from Rasmus Moustgaard, with some detailed graphics and sprites, while sound is spot effects and a cover of the Peter Gunn theme which we’re assuming is a nod to Spy Hunter. Staying on the road becomes more challenging as the game progresses, but not frustratingly so and Road Hunter is a solid piece of blasting.88% 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well-as long as they are civil, I don't use their forum much anyore as it became populated by total dicks, there are of course still quite a number of decent folk on there and I have already seen one or two of them pop up on AtariAge.

Gazoo Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Well, not to brag or anything, but I can be quite the dick sometimes. I just seem to temper very well here Sometimes it's necessary to be a dick to garner the cooperation necessary to achieve a desired end result. When people are enjoying the end result, they forgive the dickness you embodied in the process. Most of the time, anyway. Gazoo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
