+atari2600land Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 This game is #1...alphabetically. Aaron the aardvark goes back and forth across the screen. To control him, press A. To jump while controlling him, press B. When controlling him, press C to give control of Aaron back to the computer. This is just an Easter egg for the title screen. I will make it so pressing OPTION starts the game. Well, to start the game there will be options to choose from, so it only seems fitting. The only trouble is: I have no idea for a game. I just did this the past few days because I was bored of everything else I was doing. And yes, I will add some music to the title screen when I get around to it. Perhaps I will make it an "Oranges" type game where the object is to avoid stuff coming at you. Maybe not. Does anyone have a game idea they'd like to see on the Jaguar involving aardvarks?

+atari2600land Posted June 17, 2018 Author Share Posted June 17, 2018 Added a little bit of title screen music. http://www.atari2600land.com/aarontheaardvark/aaronaardvarkgameonly2.zip Thanks for the suggestions on what to make here. I think I'll make a Demon Attack/Space Invaders-like game where you shoot at stuff. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gummy Bear Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 + rotary support! That would be epic on a Space Invaders type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gummy Bear Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 There's one in the raptor examples I have no Skunk or similar, so no way to check that out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted June 18, 2018 Author Share Posted June 18, 2018 Does VirtualJaguar have rotary support? I'd like to test my game when I decide to put it in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh3-rg Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Not sure on game suggestions, but definitely needs avocados. Then it'll be a triple-A game. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted June 18, 2018 Author Share Posted June 18, 2018 Moved the Easter egg so now you can press B to start the game. It's lovely. Nothing much yet, though. All Aaron can do once you start is poop in the air. http://www.atari2600land.com/aarontheaardvark/aardvark20180618game.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyChris Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Is it possible to run this on Virtual Jaguar? If so, what configure settings? Thank you, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted June 18, 2018 Author Share Posted June 18, 2018 Yes, I test it using Virtual Jaguar. Default settings should be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted June 18, 2018 Author Share Posted June 18, 2018 I added a few more sound effects and stuff. I created a web page to get all future builds of the game. It's here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+atari2600land Posted June 22, 2018 Author Share Posted June 22, 2018 Added the beginning of a wave system. Wave 1 is the UFOs slowly go down, wave 2 is the UFO goes left and right, and wave 3 is the UFOs go down a little faster. A wave starts when the score is a multiple of 20. Right now, that's all I have so far. At some point, I would like to have more than one UFO on screen, and have the UFOs shoot at Aaron. Link to the game is in my signature. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
