What was it again that I need to save a Jag CD save file?
Also, how much do they usually run? I'm not much into eBay, so would there be anywhere else to look for one online?

As I posted in my blog, today was the first time I ever played this game. I'm ashamed of myself for never EVER letting the Atari 2600 taste the goodness that is this game.
While I must say I stunk my first play times (I think my highest was 12 or 14k), I can go ahead and say that I did enjoy the game VERY much.
Now I see why alot of people talk highly of this game. All the wasted time of not playing River Raid! I've had this game for a while, but I can't understand why I haven't played it. But I can now hold my head up high and say I have played this great game. All I need to do now is go for the 20k score! (Got to start slowly I guess).

This happens to me all the time, except it doesn't say anything. What happens to me is if I sit to long (actually just a few seconds) it just "resets" on me. I've read that it doesn't do this if you set it where Otto comes out.

I got over 400k on Tempest 2000 today. That game is ADDICTIVE! Btw, does anyone have any tips to get past level 26? ARGH!
-
Heck yeah, I've been rocking some Tempest 2000! On my real first time playing, I scored over 300k. Got to level 26 I think. Man did I have an awesome time!

I would love to, but I seriously can not pay $40 for a cart only AvP. That's just a little too much as far as asking price. I mean, heck, I was getting a complete Raiden for either little or free, can't remember! From the same store, I might add. I can wait on AvP.
I have seen speed runs for the game and let me tell you I would LOVE to have this game. Here's a funny story, one of my friends who isn't into Jag, said years ago he popped AvP into his Jag (he says AvP is the ONLY game worth playing). Well, according to him, as soon as he turned on his Jag, it fried! Maybe his bad experience is what caused him to not like the Jag?
But yeah, they have a Jag with AvP and Cybermorph for $70 and my friend told me AvP is $40. He said alot of people were interested in buying it until they heard the price. Besides, when it comes to Jag/Jag CD games, I want them complete. Like I said most of my games are complete. I did buy them from a rental store, so they have a few stickers on them and a few writings with marker....that totally stinks!

Well, here's the deal....many years ago, I purchased an Atari Jaguar, Jag CD and lots of Jag/Jag CD games (98% of them complete also!) and a Tempest 2000 soundtrack for $70. It was a steal, considering what all I got. Not long after, I purchased another Jag in box with 3 or 4 games for $30. PLUS, I got the Jaguar Gamers Guide (it has quite a few game walkthroughs, a Rayman preview and interview with Jeff Minter).
ANYWAYS, I got this years ago and rarely played it. Then I was going through this website again, just browsing as usual, when I started to read more on the Jag forums. I began to think "you know, I never gave my Jag a chance". I played Vid Grid some and enjoyed it and some Brutal Sports Football (oh yeah, Doom also) back when I first got my Jag...that's it. Today, for the first time ever that I can recall, I played Tempest 2000. Maybe I tried it when I got the Jag, can't recall, but man did I have fun today with it. Then I popped in some Doom again....oh yeah!
Needless to say I'm glad I hooked it back up. I would buy an AvP (cart only) from my friends workplace, but the asking price is $40 (just because they NEVER had an AvP cart come into their store). I almost got a complete Raiden once, but this guy asked bout it earlier and actually came to get it...bummer! I have a nice amount of games to pick from so I DO have stuff to play.
It's sad that I didn't get into this system alot sooner, but what gets me are the people who just up and hate on the thing. I saw Famitsu (Japan) just BASH the heck out of it, laughing and mocking it. I even have a few friends who talk how crappy it is....however, one friend said he's willing to take the Jag out as the number 1 crappiest system ever if he got to play Tempest 2000...sounds like I need to make a believer out of him, huh?

On Gamefaqs, there is a top 10 influential list. On there, Adventure made it....and so did E.T.
ONCE again, E.T. (along with Pac-Man) was given the title as being THE GAME to destroy the gaming industry in a sense. C'mon now, lay off E.T. and Pac-Man. I'm SERIOUSLY sick and tired of hearing it about these two games.

Now, I'm not much for graphics. As long as the gameplay rocks, I'm fine.
So in your opinion, be it homebrew or not, which games had:
1) Best title screen graphics?
2) Best gameplay graphics?
For me, E.T. takes the title screen. I'm sorry, but E.T. looks breathtakingly awesome.
As for gameplay graphics....I really couldn't say. I haven't played as many games as everyone else on here, so it's difficult for me to decide.

We have Porky's, M*A*S*H, E.T., and other movies/shows that were made into games for the 2600. In your opinion, though, what movies/tv shows SHOULD HAVE been made into a 2600 game?

The only thing I can say is get rid of that nasty "restart" thing. Seriously! I scratch my chin for a few seconds and BAM! it goes back to main screen. What the heck?

I need some help with my coding. I have a game I'm trying to make where a turkey and pilgrim fight each other (yes a Thanksgiving themed game). I have the code set up right now allowing my two people to move around. I decided I wanted to make some rocks in the area so the characters could hide behind them. I decided to set one as Player 2 (since the turkey and pilgrim are P0 and P1). However, whenever I try to put Player 2 in the code, and set player2x = some number and player2y= some number, I keep getting an error.
Does the program want me to make it to where I have to move those characters as well? Or can I not set the Rocks as a player? If not, then how can I go about setting them up? I guess my question overall is how can I set up the rocks with the sprites I have, without having to code them to move? I feel setting them as a player is cheating, but the sprite I have is nifty (it's a play on Plymouth Rock, as suggested by my wife) and I would like to keep it if I can.
Here is the code WITHOUT any player 2:
a= 25
b= 50
c=125
d=50
player0:
(its sprite)
end
player1:
(its sprite)
end
main
COLUP0 = $F4
COLUP1 = $1E
COLUBK = $C2
COLUPF = $00
player0x=a
player0y=b
player1x=c
player1y=d
drawscreen
if joy0right then a=a+1
if joy0left then a=a-1
if joy0up then b=b-1
if joy0down then b=b+1
if joy1right then c=c+1
if joy1left then c=c-1
if joy1up then d=d-1
if joy1down then d=d+1
goto main
I figured being able to draw the rocks how I want them as character sprites would make it look better, but the compiler doesn't like it when I try to code them in. Usually I try to insert code like this:
a= 25
b= 50
c=125
d=50
player0:
(its sprite)
end
player1:
(its sprite)
end
player2:
(whatever sprite)
end
main
COLUP0 = $F4
COLUP1 = $1E
COLUP2 = (whatever color)
COLUBK = $C2
COLUPF = $00
player0x=a
player0y=b
player1x=c
player1y=d
player2x = 50
player2y = 50
drawscreen
if joy0right then a=a+1
if joy0left then a=a-1
if joy0up then b=b-1
if joy0down then b=b+1
if joy1right then c=c+1
if joy1left then c=c-1
if joy1up then d=d-1
if joy1down then d=d+1
goto main
Sorry this is my very first time coding using Batari Basic. Any and all help would be appreciated. Don't get too upset as I do plan on asking a lot of questions down the line! Like I said, I'm new to this! Thanks for any and all help! Btw, I put (its sprite) and other things in there to shorten up my post. I know that's not code, but I just did that to shorten the post.
