  1. If those are supposed to be waves at the top, I think you drew them upside down.
  2. That guy's sprite has some seriously thick thighs. And his biceps are bigger than his head.
  3. Okay, we get it, "ammunition" was on your word of the day calendar today.
  4. Mandela effect or undiagnosed color blindness — now taking bets!
  5. They were perfectly free to name it whatever they wanted while still leaving "Atari" on the front where it belongs. But they aren't even following their own naming convention. Their Commodore 64 mini was called "TheC64", not "The64". The logo for it actually worked out because the "The" was tiny and off to the side of the much larger "C64". Here though they completely botched it, with the most visually prominent part of the logotype being a big brown "THE".
  6. That all being said, I hate, hate, hate the name. The huge "ATARI 400" text on the front is just as much a part of the design as anything else, so this thing having that big brown "THE" where it should say "ATARI" just looks idiotic. It's not even a noun! They replaced Atari with a flipping article.
  7. I never knew so many people here had such dreadful taste. The original Atari 400 and 800 are fantastic, visually distinctive works of 70s-era humanist industrial design. The XL and XE designs are, by comparison, just cost-reduced boring boxes.
  8. Did the top two power pills not being centered ever get fixed? Or did PMP ever explain why it wasn't possible to do so?
  9. It would probably be a lot more interesting than this thread.
  10. Cool. I went back and looked at my review of Tower II in JEO #1, and I actually mentioned a couple of the typos in the review: There were confusions of aloud/allowed and stock/stalk. In case you haven't already fixed those. Also in "You don't need anymore sleep" that should be "any more". Also "Iron Gardian" should probably be Guardian. Does the end still do the thing where it forces you to waste time dumping all your inventory items for no reason? Now, I haven't actually played this since it first came out, so my memory of the endgame is VERY hazy, but I do vaguely recall trying to actually leave the tower after defeating the big bad, since that was literally my main quest, but for no reason I wasn't allowed to leave and instead had to jump into the big crystal, again for no reason. If I'm remembering all this correctly, it would be nice if there was some in-game explanation given for all this.
  11. Hopefully there's been a relook of the game strings as as well, because I remember some really goofy typos in the original Jag version. EDIT: Just took a look at the YouTube video, and that italic text at the bottom is barely legible. It looks like... A-meornotion B-Contmuetion In the original this text was light-on-dark instead of beige-on-beige so it was a lot easier to figure out. Comparing to the original, I can see one of the aforementioned typos-- "incarnation" starts with a lowercase letter, but "Continuation" starts with an uppercase letter. You guys should probably fix that.
  12. How is this dumb thread three pages long already? The original question is a tautology. Could a Jaguar game be as potentially good as the Jaguar's potential? By definition, yes. Asked and answered, lights out, shut it down.
  13. Why do you keep typing "100.00" over and over when what I'm guessing you actually mean is "$100"? $100 isn't even right. According to the site you failed to link to, it's actually $99.99. And it's sold out.
  14. Referring to homebrews as "aftermarket" games is such a bizarre choice of words.
  15. Dear lord, that Twitch guy is running in an emulator but manually swapping disks instead of just emulating a multi-drive setup.
