homebrew easter eggs? (have they all been found?)

[homebrew easter eggs? (have they all been found?)]

Hm... Let's see... Homebrew games with easter eggs that i know of are:

 

- Medieval Mayhem

- Solar Plexus

- Phantom II/Pirate

- 2005 Minigame Multicart

- Toyshop Trouble

- Wolfenstein VCS: The Next Mission (if you count that as homebrew)

 

There is a list with easter eggs on the DP Site.

[Did you ever abuse your 2600?]

I used to throw the Joystick or Joypad against the wall when i was mad about a game, but that was back when i was a kid.

Nowadays i just turn off the console (i can't afford new joysticks every month ).

[The Last Ninja is as short as Airlock]

Damn, The Last Ninja seemed to be an interesting game but as it seems by your description it's like Venture - fun to play but way too short. Too Bad...

[Worst Atari 2600 game]

Pac-Kong is the worst 2600 game ever. Period.

[Which Atari 2600 character has the greatest DEATH scene?]

I love the way Pac-Man dies.

[Intellivision Dracula for the 2600]

Doesn't seem undoable on a 2600. Might have to make the background a bit clunkier but there's not a whole lot going on as far as moving a bunch of sprites around.

I think the main problem for a 2600 port would be the horizontal scrolling, the 2600 is not very good at that (super cobra anyone?).

 

Haven't played it in ages, may have to find an INTV emu tonight and try it out again

If you're looking for an Intellivision-Emulator try Bliss, never had problems with it.

[HSC Season 4 Week 65: Beamrider]

Yeah!! This game is a blast! I'll have to grab a copy and play it on real hardware.

The suspense is building and all will be revealed.

 

Dude, the only thing thats building is boredom!

I ain't gonna believe this until i saw a pic of the original cart or you upload the ROM here.

[Intellivision Dracula for the 2600]

Nice little game! I just tried it with Bliss. The only thing i'm missing is a nice fountain of blood when you bite people!

 

I don't know how well it could be ported to the 2600, but a 2600 with the same basic gameplay (bite people and turn them into zombies) would be nice!

 

Here are some pics...

[Best Games to Play for 5 Minutes?]

Solar Plexus on the 2600.

[Why ‘Hockey’ for Channel-F is the ‘Pong’ permutation to write home about]

Yup, i also like the Channel F. I had a Saba Videoplay (german Channel F) and really enjoyed Labyrinth, Völkerball (Dodge It), Torpedo, Robot Hunt and a few others.

There is another one I can't recall the name of, but it's like pong, in that players have paddles. But they shoot, and you push this big block back and forth into goals. It's probably one of the best titles. Maybe you have that one and can jog my memory.

 

That can only be 'Video Whizball'.

Oh boy, i ain't no pinball wizard! I still can't get used to the nudge feature. Only slightly better so far...

The text is "Stella says: Write a Game!", but admittedly I had chosen a way too low sample rate for it to be understandable.

 

Ah, so now i finally know who made this! Funny now that i know it i also hear "stella says: write a game"

Have you made any more speech demos?

 

MagMax667 Posted Today, 4:35 PM

And if you guys thought the Core demo was awesome, check out Simon Quernhorst's Graz 2004 and Eurocon 2005 demos:

 

Yep, Simon Quernhorst's Demos are cool too! Be sure to check out the other demos by wAMMA, Gehirn, Lasertime and Hard.

Great Stuff!

"The Lightbulb Lightens?"

 

Yup, that's it! I found a Rom called "Lightbulb Lightens", it's the same as the one i posted.

Another Mystery solved!

MagMax667 Posted Today, 12:04 AM

About the other demo (say.bin) it's cool, but I can't really make out what's being said. Do you know what he's saying?

 

I tried it in stella and z26 and it seems to work better in z26. I also couldn't make out what it said, as far as i could understand "they must see the light again"..?

[Anyone remember The Core?]

I don't know about a game called the core but your description reminds me of Radial Pong which was afaik never finished.

Was it something like this?

Radial_Pong_beta_12.bin

[Games with Voice Synthesis]

I can't think of any other games with speech but i found this Rom in my collection, a speech demo:

 

EDIT: Doh... i forgot (core), a very cool demo!
