    Atari 2600 Racing Days games announced!

     

    Here is the e-mail from Todd "MrActivision" Rogers:

     

    Hello Ron :

     

    I've heard back from Don Garlits. It's a go, he says ok! As for my ideas about the racing days games here it goes:

     

    DRAGSTER----FASTEST TIME wins $25.00 + 8x10 of me and Don Garlits signed and a Dragster cart signed by me and Don.

     

    BARNSTORMING #2------default settings

     

    GRAND PRIX #4------- FASTEST TIME

     

    ENDURO-----most miles in a 15minute time limit or when dead

     

    DECATHLON----100M DASH fastest time

     

    I havent figured out yet what 2nd & 3rd place will win, but i will come up with something...

     

    thanks Ron

     

    your friend Todd

    Has anyone created a proggy that will allow for the easy creation of sprites/stamps for the 2600? I know of, and use, Christopher Pepin's excellent Stella-Graph for creating playfields (which I have updated to VB6), but is there a tool such as this for creating sprites?

     

    Aynone?

     

    Thanks.

    Isn't it great?! I love the fact that 20+ years later this system lives on not just in our hearts but in reality too! :)

     

    Hmm, I wonder if 20+ years from now the X-Box will have this large of a following? Nah, M$ would never allow anyone to "hack" their graphics for the sake of longevity. ;-)

    Twin Galaxies will be either sponsoring or running the following at CGE this year:

     

    Atari 2600 Racing Days - Todd Rogers and I will be running an all day racing games event. The games have not yet been announced so stay tuned to Snipercade. Prizes will be given away for the top 3 finishers.

     

    ColecoVision Pentathlon - Brien King and I will be running an all day event on 5 Coleco games. The games have not yet been announced so stay tuned to Snipercade.

     

    Robotron - RetroGaming Radio and Twin Galaxies will be running a Robotron tournament at the RGR booth. This event will take place on a PC using MAME and an X-Arcade controller. This event will use the Twin Galaxies Tournament Settings for Robotron (5 men only, difficulty 5(hardest)). Prizes to include an X-Arcade controller and Digital Leisure stuff.

    >Are the organisers reading this forum?

     

    Yes, one of them is... :)

     

    >I'd like to be able to submit using VHSC (compact VHS). The tapes are much smaller and there are adapters that let you play them in a normal VCR. Posting a VHSC from Australia v's a VHS will probably save me $5.

     

    Write directly to Robert Mruczek and ask him about this. I don't think it'll be a problem, but it can't hurt to ask him ahead of time.

     

    >Or how about digitised video? Can I record to tape then record the video to my PC using a video capture device?

     

    Absolutely!

     

    >Does it matter if it's in black and white? If I load an NTSC ROM onto my Cuttle Cart I will probably only be able to record a black and white NTSC signal onto tape. (I only have about 7 of the titles as a real cart )

     

    Nope, we don't mind if it's Colour or B/W. As long as we can see the gameplay and final time/score.

     

    >(oh, and BTW, I don't think PAL has an EP. In PAL mode my VCR only has SP and LP (2-hour and 4-hour). Only NTSC tapes go up to EP.)

     

    Our bad. Typical Americans huh? ;-)

    Let's not forget about the Twin Galaxies Atari 2600 "Racing Days" tournament Todd Rogers and I will be running. I also have heard Shane Monroe of RetroGaming Radio will be running a Robotron tournament (with the assistance of TG). And... if all goes well, TG will be running a Coleco/Intellivision Deca at CGE with the grand prize being a complete Coleco Adam that I am donating. :)

    I have recently replaced the monitor in my Ms. Pac cab (with the help of Brien King). It was an adventure, but not too difficult. I would say it took about 2 hours to get it replaced (along with the parts we had to replace).

     

    I would suggest heading over to http://www.arcaderestoration.com and talk with Brien about what to expect. He's a great guy and can give you tons of tips and information. :)
