Matthew Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 (edited) *bump*, .....there is a ROM available for download, plays awesome. http://atariage.com/forums/index.php?app=core&module=attach§ion=attach&attach_id=355689 Edited August 31, 2014 by Matthew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Player Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I saw the thread and I thought this might have been some elaborate joke. From the video, the game just looked too good to be running on the 2600 with a 4k ROM and not using any illegal opcodes. After playing the ROM, I am glad to be wrong. What an stunningly awesome game. The author is also working on an improved version of Mario Brothers. No ROM released yet but looks damn impressive on video. http://atariage.com/forums/topic/229153-a-better-mario-bros-for-atari-2600/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Commander Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 (edited) The words "great" and "Pac-Man" never go together. Just not a fan on any platform I like that homebrewers are keeping at it though. That game does look great though possibly even awesome.

Big Player Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Even if you don't like Pac-Man as a game, you should check out the ROM. It is an amazing technical achievement for the 2600 and it isn't even finished yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+save2600 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Nice! And with the new 2600 shells Al is producing soon, might see a yellow cart (labels would beg for black border or background maybe?) that would be the perfect fit for this release.

achtbits Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 *gasp* can't seem to find the preorder form *gasp* Just downloaded the ROM and played it on my Android phone. It's amazing what today's 2600 developers are capable of. Great job! pac^man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Tarzilla Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Just putzing around: Actually, it would be cool if came in a box shaped sort of like this: http://wayoftherodent.com/paperarcade/papacman.htm Like the way the Hot Wheels Asteroids car was packaged. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian O Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Actually, it would be cool if came in a box shaped sort of like this: http://wayoftherodent.com/paperarcade/papacman.htm Like the way the Hot Wheels Asteroids car was packaged. That would be sweet, but if I had to guess I'd say the cost per unit of such a small run would be astronomical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris-in-NJ Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Is that just random Latin, or is it about Virgil's patron Maecenas? I've just run it through Google translate and it comes up with nonsense about North Korea and proteins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish the backstory was that interesting Actually, I was just too tired to come up with any witty, usable copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R.O.T.S Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 (edited) Just tried it out and it plays real good , as already said the sound is very impressive too. Edited September 7, 2014 by R.O.T.S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akator Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 It's probably not a good idea to use the word "official" anywhere since this is not a licensed and sanctioned product. Best not to push things and keep skirting under the radar, right? Just sayin' 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best not to push things and keep skirting under the radar, right? Just sayin' I hear ya. It's just a rough, though. No one asked me to create the box art. But it would be cool if it was used Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best not to push things and keep skirting under the radar, right? Just sayin' I think that "ultimate" or "preeminent" would do nicely as a substitute. I am always happy to see Brian's designs... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
