  1. Very stoked. Once again, AtariAge has a direct line into my wallet. If its not too late, I might make this one suggestion... Have running music/sounds you can toggle on or off. Something to break the silence. Kinda like DigDug. Regardless, one day, it will be on my beloved shelf of Atari homebrew releases.
  2. Beautiful! Working perfectly. Thanks much! This is a glorious day to go adventuring!
  3. Can you provide some pointers on how to get this running? I'm not at all familiar with the TI99/4A. I have many things up and running, but, outside of getting the "LOADING.................." (powered byclassic99) screen to hang forever, I'm at a bit of a loss. I've tried both the 40 and 80 track MyArc roms. Thanks much
  4. Thanks -- I'll be looking forward to your post. I'm frankly quite impressed that this was written in C and gives me some confidence to begin working with that, letting the assembly fill in as needed. Given the impressive results people get from Batari basic, I suppose I shouldn't be too surprised the compiler can produce some lean binaries. Yeah, I previously read how you were using "characters" as a trick and thought it was quite clever. At first glance of the video you posted I was amazed at how busy the screen was, and how smoothly the various objects were moving around. Wizardry! Very much appreciate the thoughtful reply and some pointers on how to get started with the development. I'll check out some of your other games, too. Hell, if they were published by Collectorvision or OpCode, they might be lurking on a shelf behind me as I write this.
  5. Heya -- recently found out about this project via your Facebook post and asked you about a dev blog. I'm curious if this is written as strict assembler, or you are using one of the c libraries, or a hybrid? Unlike the 2600 that is very well documented at this point (yet I don't have much interest in hacking), I am curious about the ColecoVision and am not quite sure where to start. I'm comfortable with C and can relearn ASM for 6502 on demand, but the Z80 is a new beast for me (but very well documented) and the ColecoVision completely unknown to me. Again, this looks fantastic. Going to fire up your ROM on the MiSTer in a few hours.
  6. Another word of thanks! I bought the physical release and would do it again, but, it is also nice to have the ROM so I can enjoy some portable gaming or on the MiSTer.
  7. $(#*! fq me. That's exactly what I was trying to say. I've been working late nights and when I'm done, I come here. My thoughts may not be clear... I was trying to say the quality of Atari Age stuff is vastly superior, but still gives me that euphoric rush I had as a kid. Even when I buy enhanced editions of modern console games, with statues, etc... they don't compare to the homebrew releases and the love you can feel emanating from them. I should probably stop talking. I wouldn't say I'm misconstrued, simply because my writing is often so bad.
  8. LOL -- it's not a big deal. I still get that rush that I had as a kid when I got a new game, except, of course, the box quality, manual, and much the art is of higher quality.
  9. The the Atari Age logo is on top, instead of bottom, and all the Vertical text is upside down. Oh, the horror!
  10. I live in Thailand and, yeah, I notice that. It seems to be mostly relegated to various formats. Haven't noticed it too much with Asian movies. Manga, of course. But actually, alot of European books seem to do this. Especially older titles. English, too. I just took a glance behind me at my video game collection, and didn't notice any that were inverted this way. I'm pretty sure I have _one_... maybe an old GB game. To anyone thinking my knickers are in a twist, please just laugh and relax. It's mostly a curiosity. Not sure my OCD can survive, tho! Egads!
  11. Looking forward to it next weekend! Too busy for the nonce. I left my collection in the states, and initially came here wondering if maybe, just maybe, there was a weird standard with 7800 games that would make the spine reversed. That seems like a tail-end Atari move
  12. LOL. Someone wants to rumble! I actually host a monthly retro-gaming night at my local bar, and these things all come out for people to enjoy. /smack! But, yeah, I'm a bit of a shelf queen. Everything looks soooo good, except for Baby Pac-Man! I'm trying to think of it like one of those buggered US stamps that are mis-printed and worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. I'll start using that as work when I mistake -- the more mistakes I make, the more revenue we make. Genius.
  13. Haven't played the game yet -- just got it through customs recently. Came to the thread just for this. Not a big deal. Just have a lot of collector pride in my homebrew section and this sticks out on the shelf
