MegaManFan Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 I traded in some non-rares to Al for store credit and I'm trying to decide which game released this year would be best to spend it on. What's the consensus best Atari VCS homebrew or mod of 2014? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 You should wait a few more days or weeks, because a lot of new games are in the late stages before release. Some of them I would consider candidates for best of 2014. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+wongojack Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 I agree, and it doesn't get enough attention! ..Al I haven't bought Lead because when I try the ROM it gives the option to increase the "K" and the music sounds all outta whack after that. I can't remember exactly, but there is an option in the menu to play Lead xK and whenever I turn that on, the music sounds like the rhythm has sped beyond what it is supposed to be. Whatever the lower number is, that option sounds great. Is this expected? Am I somehow doing something in the emulation that causes that (does it on the Harmony cart too)? That being said, it is a great game, I just wish that the music didn't turn to poop when I flip that switch in the menu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaManFan Posted November 29, 2014 Author Share Posted November 29, 2014 Lead reminds me of Vanguard in a good way. This is on my checklist now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhomaios Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Just bought it. Ugh, now the waiting is the hardest part! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andromeda Stardust Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 (edited) Ugh, now the waiting is the hardest part! Think waiting a few days for package is hard, try waiting months or sometimes years for new game to release. I got a bunch of stuff on my wishlist... Zippy Stay Frosty 2 Byte Before Christmas Star Castle Arcade Circus AtariAge (WIP, but the 2013 PRG version looked pretty finished to me) Piñata Multicart (just got it Friday ) DK (both WIP versions VCS and Arcade) New Pacmman (4k, 8k WIP) Bentley Bear (7800) I think I'm addicted to Atari homebrew...

Crazy Climber Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 I agree, and it doesn't get enough attention! ..Al YES! It is the best shmup on the system if you ask me The constant fire is very liek modren CAVE style games but on the VCS, thats just insane!! Reminds me of N.E.R.D.S. I usually like your posts, but that was just wrong man...N.E.R.D.S. was a flaming pile of shit that I wouldn't waste my piss on putting out.

You can fully customize the music, fast/slow, filter/sound effects, etc, there are a TON of options Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
