  1. I have helped for beta-testing, the cartridge is compatible with NTSC systems. No board pieces like QftR, "just" a straight-up adventure/exploration game (it is not a real platformer)!

    Also, be sure the making-of is very interesting to read, to know more about the game ;)


  2. Game has been totally revisited, enhanced and polished by Alekmaul and published physically by Côté Gamers (at the same time with Uwol quest for money). So ROM file has been "erased" as it was just a first release without beta-testing, not well-balanced and so on.

    There are topics on AA about these two physical releases.


  3.  

    All recent news concerning Chip-8 are great! Good work, specially Sylvain!

    I am posting here instead of Market place, but I can cancel this post if needed, no worry.

    I have one Hanimex MPT-02 complete in box for trade (even with polystyrenes and extra-joystick adapters). I have some games, also for trade (see on photos: star wars is not in a good shape, but it is Star Wars!).

    Interesting to trade specifically against a RCA Studio II, in box too.

    I also have one loose Hanimex MPT-02 system. Could consider another trade for that (not only on MPT-02 systems).

    I am looking for S2 games too (except: Baseball, Blackjack, SpaceWar and Tennis/Squash)

    I could also be interested in other clones like Sheen, Apollo or Mustang (and games also) or on other systems (I am looking for Basic on Super cassette vision for example, etc.)

  4. Yes, Secam is a French system (with Scart). The big advantage is this console has a native RGB output.

    The problem is that I don't succeed to launch the game correctly on this model: buggy screen or no image. And all other games work fine.

    I'll try to open the cart and insert just the pcb to see if it could solve the problem.

    But on my Inly II all is ok!

     

    Rev -> MP sent, thanks!


  5. Great game! It plays very well, even the Intellivision disc is not always well fitted for some direction changes ;)

     

    Just some remarks:

    - my cartridge had encountered problems to run on a Secam Intellivision, but no worry with my intellivision II (NTSC). Dont know if someone here has the same problem? Other games, even homebrews, run well on my seam inty.

    - The manual I have received has been badly stapled, the two sheets are well staggered and, moreover, their outline seems to have been cut by hand, which is not very nice! The rest of packaging is great, no problem with it, just a bit disappointed by the manual. So is my manual the only one like that?

     

    - A question about the game, about the hidden bonus mentioned in the manual. Does it correspond to the mention on the screen "bonus hill" or not? I haven't eaten any queen ant. So what is the secret hidden level (my aardvarks comes to blue color at this moment). Is it just another level or a bonus stage?

     

    Good job to the whole team, and specially to Oscar of course!

     

     


  6. 3 Favorites:

    Shark! Shark!

    Utopia

    Dracula

     

    3 Hidden Gems:

    Pinball

    Skiing

    Night Stalker

     

    3 Great Homebrews:

    Stonix

    Super Space Patrol

    Maria

     

    But there is more great and fun games than this short list! (thunder castle, AD&D, venture, frog bog, world cup soccer, demon attack (the 6 second alternative game mode is excellent!), sydney hunter sacred tribe, etc.). What a great system it was (it is!) :) Too difficult to just extract 3 games!


  7. I have just found a very interesting photo on the switchgaming website. Don't know if you here already know it?

    It shows a b&w photo with a handicapped person playing with the Bowling game on Studio II!

    This photo is extracted from a book written by Karen Hugues, in 1981. I will try to find this book if possible but it seems not available yet.

  8. Don't know if these informations have already revealed but I've just found, in the Ebony magazine dec.77, a small article about Jesse Williams, a manager at RCA Corporation. On the photo, we can see a demonstration Studio II! Too bad we can't see it in entirety!

    Here are some captures from google books. Don't know if it exists a PDF or if someone on this topic has theses documents in better quality?

  9. Fantastic work! The gameplay is very good even with the Intellivision disc. I have only played it on jzintv but I will try to test it on a real hardware with a CC3.

    One little remark: the character doesn't seem to advance a little bit when he is jumping in place (vertical). So, perhaps, it could be more difficult to be correctly positioned to go upstairs or downstairs sometimes?

  10. Many thanks for these informations, I really appreciate!

    OK, so the system box is not reliable...

    As I haven't the Bandai system, do you know if there a bundle pack with a game or if customers have to bought one game separately?

    Also, can you recognize the three games at the left of Royal Dealer on the packaging of the console?

    I think it can be Tron (Maze-a-Tron?), Motocross (with alternate graphics in this case?) and Chess perhaps (but, also, with alt graphics), but I am not sure.

     


  11. I would like to establish a complete list of Inty games distributed by Bandai in Japan.

    Here is the list from intvfunhouse:

    Auto Racing

    Backgammon

    Baseball

    Boxing

    Football

    Frog Bog

    Golf

    Hockey

    Horse Racing

    Night Stalker

    PBA Bowling

    Sea Battle

    Skiing

    Snafu

    Soccer

    Space Armada

    Space Battle

    Star Strike

    Tennis

    Triple Action

     

    And, in my opinion, there is probably more. Because, if we look at the system box, we can these games displayed:

    Armor Battle

    Astromash

    Basketball

    Advanced Dungeons & Dragons (WIP screenshot, the same as in some catalogs)

    Space Hawk

    Sub Hunt

    Tron

    Utopia

    Checkers

    Reversi

    Royal Dealer

     

    Questions:

    - what are the three games at the left of Royal Dealer? I think it can be Tron (Maze-a-Tron?), Motocross (with alternate graphics in this case) and Chess perhaps (but, also, with alt graphics), but not sure.

     

    In an old Intellivision FAQ, I have read that Astrosmash was not distributed in Japan. So, not sure the other games have been imported.

    - Do you have more information than mine?

     

    - Do you know why PBA Bowling is the only game which has kept the brand name 'PBA'. Other, notably sports, have taken off the mention like NHL, NFL, Major League, etc.

     

    Thanks for any help!

     

     

     

     


  12. Today, I have take a look at my Victory model and, too bad, the serial number lacks (totally erased, I think it was on a sort of little sticker). So, don't know it is interesting to take pictures? (I have no box, no manual)

    But, good news, I also have a Conic M-1200 that I can photograph. The box is not in a good shape (seems to have received liquid. Too bad, the pages of the manual are glued, because probably of the liquid!) but the system is clean and works :)

    So I will post photos of M-1200 asap, probably tomorrow
