InsertCoin25 Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 (edited) Hello I am new to posting to AA, but I have been lurking on the forums for a while. I was wondering if Atari Age is going to be releasing a cartridge version of The Stacks? I did notice in a PRGE youtube video that there was a sign and cartridge already made for playtesting at the expo. Is this still a thing, or has the cartridge release been squashed?

Thomas Jentzsch Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Its all my fault. I lost motivation for a while, got distracted by other projects etc. But I will go back and finish it. There are only some (important!) final touches missing. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InsertCoin25 Posted August 9, 2016 Author Share Posted August 9, 2016 (edited) Its all my fault. I lost motivation for a while, got distracted by other projects etc. I appreciate your honesty . That is awesome that you are going to finish it. I hate to ask, any time frame for release? Oh before I forget. What is being changed from the original version? Thank you for the info, much appreciated. Take Care InsertCoin25 Edited August 9, 2016 by InsertCoin25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 There are quite a lot of changes, e.g. four game variations of increasing difficulty (one of them being the original contest game), randomly generated stacks at various sizes, ladder positions and trailers are randomized too, more enemies and collectibles, a lot of polishing (graphics, scoring, controls...)... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InsertCoin25 Posted August 16, 2016 Author Share Posted August 16, 2016 This sounds amazing!! Can't wait to play the final product. Thanks for the info. Thank You InsertCoin25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SpiceWare Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Its all my fault. I lost motivation for a while, got distracted by other projects etc. But I will go back and finish it. There are only some (important!) final touches missing. To be fair, it's not all your fault - I lost motivation long before you did. Only recently have I felt like working on VCS projects again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 I lost motivation long before you did. Maybe that was me too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SpiceWare Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Maybe that was me too? No, I'd have worked on one of my other projects if I'd only lost interest in The Stacks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Kaboomer Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 I just received the Centipede 7800 TB cart and Atari Age included a flyer which advertised "The Stacks" as one of their "Our Newest Homebrews"! No pressure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phimseto Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Amusingly, my question to you is this: I have Ready Player Two, and all I can keep thinking about is if there will be a video game for *that*! ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omegamatrix Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 The Stacks brings back memories. From what I can see there was not too much left before the game was ready player one, but it stalled... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
