  1. Play pac-man collection (pacman) on colecovision, then play the nes version of pac-man. There is no question which is better. Pac-man on colecovision is code-perfect. It also does not require a super game module either. I really wish someone would make a 'code-perfect' pac-man for nes, so I could better compare. There is a lot of flicker in coleco pac-man that I don't think nes would suffer from quite so drastically. However, I am thinking that the colecovision isn't suited for a game like 'mike tyson's punchout' or 'super mario brothers'. Big lovely sprites. I wish I had a perfect side by side comparison of 'mega man 2' on both consoles. Those giant hopping things in mega man 2 might not be possible on coleco. I love collecting for colecovision these days, the recent games really are arcade flawless (Mario Brothers for example). I wonder if 'code perfect' arcade games are possible on nes in fact. If you have an example of a home-brew that is code-perfect for nes, PLEASE tell me. In the 80's, if colecovision released opcode's flawless donkey kong (unreleased), we might have an interesting discussion. Bottom line is: what system does better regardless of the era it was in? (and the games released at those times). I would rather play Dintar's 8k pac-man for Atari 2600 than Nintendo's pac-man also (nes). I thought I'd put that in. The sound effects are amazing in that. It is far closer to arcade than nes.
  2. Atariage should have its own 'patch department' so to speak. They can pick up where Atari left off (um, like 30 years ago)... Someone needs to be in charge of validating high scores, and reproductions of the patches needs to be done I think it would be neat to see in the Atariage Store. You can buy a patch, but need to somehow prove your score The patches would be as close to the originals as possible. If you can't prove your score, then the patch will be slightly different colored, and on the back, in tiny text, it will say YOU SUCK! (in Atari font ofc) It will also cost 3 times more.
  3. I reorganized my favorites here for better 'housekeeping'. Original Games: #1: River Raid (just a brilliant game, so simple and awesome) #2: Jr. Pac-Man #3: Ms. Pac-Man #4: Pitfall 2 #5: Ice Hockey #6: Phoenix #7: Pitfall! #8: Artillery Duel (most people don't like this game, but I enjoy the tension as your opponent tries to dial in the perfect angle) #9: Robot Tank #10: Solaris #901: Pac-Man 1982 original (barf!), I just hate this version. I am really into pac-man (it is like an obsession), and this version is god awful. Homebrew Games (Definitely NOT amateur, they are professionally done imho): #1: Pac-Man 8k Homebrew (by Dintar816). It is simply amazing. (The most recent version in March 2015, where pac-man starts in a ball) I would also rate this as my number 1 favorite game of all time original and homebrews included. #2: Donkey Kong (DK VCS) Homebrew (the one where it slowly scrolls upwards). Those giant sprites are incredible. #3 Princess Rescue (Homebrew) Supercharger: #1 Frogger Make sure to try out my Coinops 'vision' pac-man pack please! It is free of course. I spent a long time making the compilation (adding in the images/videos, etc). I want to update it with my favorite Atari 2600 pac-man now. See my signature below to try it on Xbox classic. And tell me what you think. It could still be improved further.
  4. Ice Hockey is my favorite two player game. I know it is 'primitive', but if you get into the game seriously, it has a lot of skill involved. Do you go at the other player hardcore, or go for a quick bank shot? Do you risk knocking the guy out? And then of course there's no 'time limit', so it just ends at a random time, increasing the tension It reminds me of double dribble a bit. At first double dribble has some bad mechanics, but it is the ONLY basketball game that I know of that simulates the stress of a 'full court press', where you can have a really tough time getting the ball across halfcourt.
  5. #1: Pac-Man 8k Homebrew (by Dintar816). It is simply amazing. (The most recent version in March 2015, where pac-man starts in a ball) #2: Donkey Kong (DK VCS) Homebrew (the one where it slowly scrolls upwards). Those giant sprites are incredible. #3: River Raid #4: Jr. Pac-Man #5: Ms. Pac-Man #6: Pitfall 2 #7: Ice Hockey #8: Frogger (Super Charger Version) #9: Phoenix #10: Pitfall! #11: Princess Rescue (Homebrew)
  6. Oh ya, my parents got rid of my first Atari 5200 without even consulting me (it was about the year 2002)...so I got it back and much more. It catapulted my interest in Atari even further. I even collected Atari 2600, and Atari 7800 at the point. So perhaps I should consider that event a 'favor'. It is sure a fun interest. I collect games each year at Midwest Gaming Classic. It is pretty much my one and only video game shopping day of the year (except for the occasional home-brew colecovision game
  7. Atari was my first system ever. It will always be very special. I have an AV modded system (it has composite/S-Video), and I LOVE it. I also have a multicart. Space Invaders is my very favorite port of that game, it compares to no other. Kangaroo has these hilariously distorted sound effects (wait till two monkeys throw apples at the same time)....some times I just stand around ducking and dodging apples for pure fun. Missile Command/Centipede are incredible with the trackball. Again, NO other system comes close to this. I have a very fun prototype of super pac-man. And the pac-man game is the first one I was able to get to past the 7th key (where the ghosts turn blue for the rest of the game). If you are a fan of Atari 5200, make sure to try out the 5200 emulator on the Playstation 2...hook it up to a CRT tv (you must), and then try Robotron. You can actually use the analog thumb pads! I can't tell you how fun it was to play like that. Left analog moves, right analog fires. So count me as an official member of the Atari 5200 Brotherhood!
  8. This Pac-Man gets my vote. http://atariage.com/forums/topic/229152-new-pacman-for-atari-2600/page-29 Make sure you download the very latest version: pacman2600_8k_v3b.bin (8kb) The sound effects, and ghost logic are insanely awesome. It was released even after the last comment on THIS thread, so it is pretty new! Nukey Shay's pac-man is also quite nice. Blinky gets faster towards the end of the stage and everything I love any and all work done by the amazing coders for this game. They are all fun to try! Pac-Man (Dintar).bin
  9. I like this post. It appears to me to read something like this: "The Atari 7800 XM will be released when hell freezes over"...rofl He's cold down there, it is almost released! hehe I will buy it in a heartbeat also!
  10. I would also love to get one of these devices. I'm watching this thread intently I'm not one of the pre-orders, but if they come available, I'll be the first to buy
  11. My Harmony works with a modded flashback 2 (I bought at Midwest Gaming Classic). It is true not all games work (supercharger of course), but I haven't encountered many that don't.
  12. I'm not sure how much more tweaking can be done to it I'd love to see an attract screen tho (I don't think I've seen an update with that). Can the power pellets in the 8k be bigger like the 4k one? Just curious.
  13. Omg, in the lastest version, you even somehow managed to remove the scanline things from the far left side. That is so nice!
  14. Oh ya, I forgot to mention the AI. It is incredible! I watched as Pinky actually went in the direction pac-man was pointing (it tries to ambush basically). And blinky follows me correctly. I'm wondering now if other logic is in it also, such as ghosts not going upwards in certain corridors. This version of pac-man has my vote for the best so far on this site! CONGRATS! Edit: The logic with the corridors is accurate also (ghosts can't go up). The slowdown in the escape corridor works great. Blinky gets very fast at the end of the levels (awesome).
