Hm... and if there had to be a reserve plan for a 2600 project on a smaller scale, what would that be then?

Hm... and if there had to be a reserve plan for a 2600 project on a smaller scale, what would that be then?

I dunno. I have something like 5-10 projects in various states that are kicking around.

 

Let's see if I can remember what they all are:

 

-The Arkanoid clone/port I sort of started

-The Cosmic Guerrilla port I mocked up

-The Robotron port/clone I just mocked up

-I spent some time in the last year mocking up a Tank Battalion port

-Final Defense, the non-moving first-person anti-aircraft shooter.

-And I do have another big project kicking around, the Metroid port. Which I've been thinking about morphing into a Contra clone.

 

That's all I can think of right now. I'm pretty sure there are a few other projects that have caught my fancy briefly over the last year or two.

 

Of those, probably Tank Battalion and Final Defense are the most likely.

I don't understand why it's so difficult for developers to focus on a single project. Working on multiple Atari projects at the same time is just plain silly.

Just working on Andrew's Boulder Dash currently.

 

And waiting for that PAL60 version...

I hope you'll find some more interest in the Robotron port. It looks pretty cool so far. Even a bit too fast

Maybe...I've kinda lost interest for the moment, actually. I'm just not very familiar with Robotron - I've never played any version of it, ever!

 

Except maybe for a minute or two with MAME. I have played, and loved, similar games, like Geometry Wars and Smash T.V., so maybe.

I too am starting a fighting game for 2600, hope to cram it all into 16k.

Thanks for the link! Looks interesting.

-Create a PAL60 version of Elevators Amiss.

 

Is there any way to speed that up a bit? Today is the 16th already, so there's only 4 more days left before the window where I can order it still this year will close

I'll see what I can do...

I'll help where I can, just let me know!

I'll probably need you or somebody to test on hardware. I'll let you know.

Why didn't you help testing the X-Mas binaries then? Now the PAL versions are all "best viewed" on my TV

I had no time following the development before Christmas. And then I lost track.

That's too bad, you probably could have finished X-Race as the last of the game ROMs were posted this morning for supercat to consolidate with the menu.

Maybe Albert can add a small sticker to the PAL carts that says that.

Yes, I lately wondered about that option too.

 

But then, my spare time was also well invested into BD instead.

Please see the Homebrew Forum!

Hopefully it will see the light of day.

 

Hmm - in case you're not familiar with that phrase, hopefully it will be released.

Well, one down!
