hizzy Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Hi! The Hunchy II thread got me thinking about other early homebrews in the AA store, and those around Hunchy II's 20 dollar price point. I'm a big fan of Seawolf, with Astar coming in at a close second. Astar has a certain addictiveness to it, plus it has simple but great graphics. Seawolf looks like it could have been an Activision game. Great graphics, smooth gameplay. The only thing missing for me is a high score patch. Xype has a few good games at the 20.00 price point. What's your favorite "20 dollar holler"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's your favorite "20 dollar holler"? It would have to be Galactopus. Easy pick up and play shooter. https://atariage.com/store/index.php?l=product_detail&p=1050 Also Wolfenstein VCS: The Next Mission. It is a hack of Venture but so extensive that it has been called a Hackbrew. https://atariage.com/store/index.php?l=product_detail&p=824 Two great looking labels and both are fun to play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Nathan Strum Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Lots of good choices - but I'd have to go with Seawolf. That's hard to beat at any price. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hizzy Posted July 24, 2017 Author Share Posted July 24, 2017 Which flashing is the most annoying one? Maybe this could be fixed by a hack. When you go into warp mode? It can be seen in this video. You can see it at around the 2:56 mark: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Here is a minimal Oystron hack which reduces flicker. Please let me know if that works for you or if you need more changes. Oystron (less flicker) (v0.1).bin 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hizzy Posted July 25, 2017 Author Share Posted July 25, 2017 Hi Thomas! It's an improvement, for sure! I just have to work on getting better at the game. I'm terrible at Oystron! haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
