Tempest 4000

[Tempest 4000]

I loved the original Tempest in the arcade but Jeff taught me that I don't like flashing polygonal space games when he released Space Giraffe. When I saw the NIN video with Polybius in it recently that pretty much confirmed I should probably avoid all his games.

 

Yep, i tried the PC version of Space Giraffe a few weeks ago and it's utter shite. So i'm not excited about a new game from Jeff Minter.

That's too bad because i love Tempest 2000 on the Sega Saturn and most of his old games on the C64.

[The almighty ALIEN OOZE reviewed !]

Never heard of this game, looks fun! As always, thanks for an entertaining vid.

 

It's apparently a polished up/finished version of the old batari Basic game "Ooze!":

I didn't know that it was released on cart. ^^

[What's the rarest game you actually played in the 80s]

Probably Mangia. I borrowed it from a classmate and i thought it was weird but not too shabby back then. Letting my belly explode always put a smile on my face.

[Dog Patch possible on 2600?]

Someone already had the same idea 10 years ago.

 

Though AFAIK Cybergoth just made this little demo for Dog Patch:

This games really interesting. Is there a Rom I can try?

 

EDIT:

 

I removed the old ROMs. Check out the latest builds in the first post.

 

 

 

[Millipede vs Millipede]

I prefer the released version. The GCC version has some nice touches (especially the title screen) but the released version is much more fun to play.

[Upp! for Atari 2600 Released on Etsy]

Congrats on the cart release!

 

I bought the ROM at itch.io, i wish more people would put up their 2600 Homebrews there.

 

Just gave the game a whirl and it's fun to play, actually better than i expected once i got the hang of it.

I just played a few rounds and my best score is 2.

 

 

 

Come on, bB guys. You can do so much better than that guy did. I mean, really.

 

I totally agree. Anyone who knows a little bit of bB programming could make a much better version.
