A cross between Pitfall and Adventure

[A cross between Pitfall and Adventure]

I hate that bat. lol. Very fun game. Anyway to make pitfall style pits? Might look a little nicer. THe player sprite looks a little odd with what I assume is his arm sticking out while standing still. Just my opinion. Is there a way to get the sword back after the bat steals it?

[WIP - Hero quest themed shooter.]

This is looking great. I love the player animations. Charging the weapon is cool. SOme power ups would definitely be cool. Like standard invincible and maybe like a double shot or spread shot. Will there be enemies on the ground you have to jump over? If so, maybe the player can have a downward stab kinda of move for ground enemies.

[Ature - An adventure game WIP]

Pretty cool game. reminds me of Cave in a little. How do I get past the pitch black area by the cave? Is there a torch somewhere? The sword sprite might look better if it's possible to touch it up. maybe at least so it doesn't loook like it's floating.

[Bifröst (2600)]

This is a great game!. It would probably be good as a paddle game. The only other things that would be nice is maybe a title screen and more variety of enemies. Maybe ones that shoot.

[SplatterHouse anyone seen this?]

NOt sure if it's the right forum, but I came across this and was wondering if anyone else saw it or knows where to find it.

 

Slaugherhouse (splatter house 2600

[PHANTASM SHIPPING NOW Limited Edition]

any chance the binary will be released after all the units are sold?

["Knight Rider" 2600 is finally here.]

This one still being worked on? looks interesting.

[Pong with powerups]

English - or not... see above

 

hold ball

 

advance paddle position forward

 

sticky ball

 

random bounce

 

little ball

 

big ball

 

two balls --player releases a ball, and another one, and triple score if other player misses both sequentially, otherwise ordinary score based on remaining ball. No point given for miss of first ball.

 

fat paddle

 

narrow paddle

 

reversed paddle

 

random paddle - jitters for a while

 

two paddles -- one in front, one in ordinary position

 

god wall - player can't miss for a while

 

bullets - get three shots at the other player

 

gravity ball - ball attracted to players paddle, motion influences ball movement

 

center wall, for a mini break out session, with a risk of point given, should player that has the ball miss!

 

bent paddle - for limiting possible returns to other player

 

invisible paddle

 

switch controls! - for a time each player gets the other players paddle, point given to non-controlling player for a miss, so the game is just mirrored for a short time

 

Call it battle pong!

 

Those sound like cool powerups. Wish I was a programmer. I was just asking if the idea had been done before or if anyone was working on something similar.

[Pong with powerups]

Has anyone made a version of pong with powerups? LIke being able to hold the ball, make the paddle bigger/smaller, Make the ball move slower or faster. The powerups might appear randomly on the screen and the player who hits it gets the power. Just wondering if this has been done yet or something like it.

[LIT 2600 (a little experiment)]

any chance this will actually get made?

[WIP - Hero quest themed shooter.]

"bump"

 

This one and sword of iffrete are two that I'm really looking forward to. ANy progress on this one?

[LIT 2600 (a little experiment)]

This sounds really cool. I hope it does manage to get made into a 2600 game. I'd definitely play it. I like the concept and theme too. The only thing I would add is a move counter so the player can try to complete each level in the least amount of moves possible. SOrry I can't try the wii version. sounds cool too.

[K.O. Cruiser - my first homebrew]

Updated player sprites

 

Kangaroo boxer?

[games that use special control scheme]

I think I meant robotron instead of berzerk.

[games that use special control scheme]

Is there a list out there of all the games that use special controllers like booster grip, keypad, etc. Which games use which controllers. Also a list of one player games that use two joysticks like berzerk.

[Stella ad AtariVox]

I was curious if stella does or can emulate atarivox to get the speech enhancements of some of the homebrew bins and the ability to save high scores.

[Sword of Iffrit development]

Any progress?

[WIP - Hero quest themed shooter.]

any new progress?

[Evil Magician Returns (Adventure-type game)]

the sword never actually points north or south.

I kinda thought that was what you meant by being a horizontal game. BY the same logic, you should only e able to shoot to the right. lol. (I'm just playing around. )

 

Also, I think it would be too easy to kill the white wizard if you could shoot in any direction.

 

THat's a good point. Maybe the white wizard could have some sort of shield that makes it harder for the player to shoot him from above or below. Or maybe just plain impossible. (Like magic boots and hat)

 

I'm not a programmer, so I have no idea just how hard that may be to do. Just a suggestion though to even out the idea of firing in all directions.

 

p.s. A couple simple power-ups might be cool to give it another little twist.

[Would anyone be interested in an Atari 2600 Joystick lamp?]

how much? It would make a great gift.

[K.O. Cruiser - my first homebrew]

Great game!. I definitely think the kangaroo should make it to the final release. That would be awesome. Kind of a little nod to looney tunes.

[Evil Magician Returns (Adventure-type game)]

Great game. Nice twist on adventure.

 

Although, I agree with others about being able to shoot vertically as well. The player and the wizards should. I really don't get what you mean by adventure always being more of a horizontal game. There are plenty of places in the game where the player must take a path up or down. The player could also hold the sword (or any other object) from above or below. You could even hold the sword by the players corner. I would often hold it above when entering a room from the bottom of the screen. Plus the enemies always came at you from any direction, including above or below.

 

new enemy type would be nice if possible.

[Raiders of the Lost Ark 2]

I wonder if it's possible to recreate this for 2600 as a rom or bin. So it can be played via emulator and be put on a cart. I bet it would sell pretty good as a cart release.

[Haunted Adventure Trilogy]

There is no "the rom"; each cart has a different customized rom. If/when a rom is released here by me, it will be an AtariAge edition.

Sorry. I meant no disrespect and I wasn't saying that someone else should dump it and release it. I was just remembering a pm from you a while back saying that you were probably going to wait until the easter egg was found before releasing the bin.

 

I've been waiting a while to try the final version of the game. especially part 3. Unfortunately, I'm not in a position to start collecting vintage hardware and carts to play the games, so I rely on emulation.
