Thomas Jentzsch Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 I made my very first demo and it did very well. For details check my blog entry. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanJr Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Ok, let me see if I understand this. What I am seeing there is possible on the VCS. As in, you could put that on a cart and I could plug it into my Atari and I could see that on my TV here at home? Is that what I am seeing? You, sir, are some kind of freaking wizard.

Video Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Holy SCHIT!! If I'd seen just a screenshot of that last bit I'd have been like "piss off, you're so full of shit your eyes are brown" That's damn impressive though. I didn't know you could have a dual color 48pixel sprite (I assume that's what that is) The demo was awesome. 38 years later and the ol 2600 is still throwing out surprises.

Thomas Jentzsch Posted April 9, 2015 Author Share Posted April 9, 2015 A picture really doesn't do justice to the demo. I would have uploaded a video myself, but since I deleted my YouTube account (due to Google's unbearable new privacy interfering demands), I hadn't looked for an alternative until now. So I just opened an account on dailymotion.com where I will upload a video tonight (after work ). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanJr Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 yeah, you really need to see this thing in living color and motion. Tres impressionnant! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sprybug Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Funny, I'm drinking a Coke Zero at this very moment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted April 14, 2015 Author Share Posted April 14, 2015 Did it taste any different? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SpiceWare Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Did it taste any different? I drink Coke Zero when I'm out, it's very close in taste to regular coke. I don't care for diet Coke and will get unsweetened iced tea instead if the place doesn't have Coke Zero. When I'm home I drink Cola Free, the Sodastream equivalent to Coke Zero. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Nathan Strum Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Coke Zero tastes nothing like real Coke to me. But then, I can't stand any soda with artificial sweetener in it. I switched over to Mexican Coke a few years back (still made with actual sugar) and I was surprised how different (and better) it is. It instantly reminded me of the Coke I drank as a kid, before they started tampering with their formula. I rarely drink soda now, but when I do, I treat myself by getting the good stuff. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arenafoot Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Did it taste any different? with all of this talk of other cola's......could we see other flavors done like your Coke Zero demo? I'd like to see a Cherry Coke....... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two-in-the-Belfry Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Whoa, I had no idea the 2600 could handle color and movement like that! Props to you! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
