Greenfuzz Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Does anyone know what the objective is for Pigs In The Castle? Yes...I can collect money and move room to room either killing the pigs or simply ignoring them...but is there a purpose? What is the goal? Is there an end...other than dying...or dying from boredom?

gauauu Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Does anyone know what the objective is for Pigs In The Castle? For the author to make a quick buck? (ducks) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ricktr Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 (edited) Apparently you're supposed to kill a certain number of pigs which takes you to the big boss. Twice I made it through to a screen with a real tall pig and a box which I assume had a captive. However when I got there I could no longer attack and the boss pig just stood there. Also there was no way to rescue the prisoner. So I ended up just moving around running into the big pig which did nothing, so finally I just turned it off. I contacted the designer but he didn't reply. This was on my Atari 2600 4 switch. If you are thinking of buying this game on eBay, beware.

Greenfuzz Posted May 14, 2019 Author Share Posted May 14, 2019 This game is a waste of time. Kill a pig and move to the next room. The end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
high voltage Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 This game is a waste of time. Kill a pig and move to the next room. The end. Still, it's the effort that counts...After all, he released 3 homebrew games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Gemintronic Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 My experience with Rudy is he accidentally friended me on Facebook and I took him off. So, I don't know his intentions. I didn't remember the initial sale of this game feeling like a cash grab. Although there were some critical articles written about him in connection with the connotations behind this game.

There's a metric tonne more unstated as to the reasons for both statements. I'd suggest StormyWeathers explores this in private. The good, bad and unique that could be discussed in this game would quickly get drowned out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can add something brand new regarding Hozer. Someone linked me to a huge collection of Atari 2600 games (incl. homebrews), which also contained some ROMs of my own game Thrust. Many of these ROMs where only meant to be put on cart and were never released to public by me or send to anyone (except one person). When I realized that the latest pirated ROM is from 2002, I stated investigating. Because that's the year where I left Hozer and went to AtariAge. And it soon turned out that these pirated ROM files are 100% exactly the ones which I did send to Hozer for the cart releases. So it must have been Randy himself, who pirated me. Using the ROMs which I did send him, relying on his integrity. Which shows again, how utterly disrespectful Randy acts regarding the homebrew community. Everyone buying from Hozer should be aware of this (and many, many other things, do the research). And that he (or she) is actively supporting such a behavior and thus harming our small community. Personally I have zero respect for anyone who knows about Randy and still is buying from Hozer. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormyWeathers Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 People, i know the story of Randy, i know the story of Rudy... My point really is... If a game is distributed by Hozer doesn't make this a bad game. I buy Hb's from AtariAge and GDG/HH and buy proto-repro's on Cart from Hozer. Everything i ever bought from Hozer are non-existing games i like to have on Cart. I DON'T buy homebrews from Hozer if i can buy IT from AA. At GDG i first asked if IT were copies OR original AA-games which seller confirmed the latter (and i believe people very easily) That's my choice and you can disagree with that but i think IT ain't bad to have some Nice games on Cart like Harem, ewok adventure, Frog pond, bugs bunny etc...

It might be for some particular game but it doesnt apply to Every game. For example, i like endless snow, also made by Rudy j ferretti. Does it make the game bad because he was a bad Guy? If you have a problem with Randy that's fine by me but dont start picking on me please. Have a Nice Day by the by... Rgds Alexander Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you know that he makes unauthorized copies of homebrews, even when the authors of those games specifically asked him to stop, and you still buy any stuff from him, then it means that you're supporting that behavior. No way around it. So, don't be surprised if people here pick on you for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
