Is using the playfield as an extra color for cards part of those extra "graphic touches"?

No rush on SpiceC. I'm learning C# (Unity) to get familiar with the syntax again.
I really need to figure out how to prioritize projects so as not to get burnt out. Seems like you have a handle on that

I've had my share of weird insta reset issues. It usually happens when my games come close to filling up a whole bank of ROM. Also, conflicts with variables shared by mini kernels.
I don't have a good solution but I definitely feel ya

What are you talking about dude? Who are you listening to? It ain't me. I love your work and greatly respect what you've done.
Ignore the haters. Listen to your own gut. Listen to those people who DO want to help you.

Yep. I think someone made this small, blue MSX clone years ago. Now even that is a really expensive collectors item. MSX is a standard so I don't know why there isn't a new machine around given the fan base.

Maybe it's time to invest in a 3D printer! If and when my Makibox comes i'll see if it's all worth it.

I managed to pick up one from a flea market but it turned out to be dead. I at least got to get a feel for the joysticks. I cannot say I'd actually enjoy playing anything with 'em. *shrugs*

We all hear ya. I guess the most positive thing that can come of this is using as a reminder to keep ourselves healthy. Even if it means just one less cigarette or sodium benzoate filled soda pop. Our health greatly affects the lives of those around us.

My mom was pretty young when she had me. Difference is, she wanted to have a kid. Didn't want marriage or any of that. Most people have "mistakes" or - very strangely - have an oopsie to keep a man.
First off, men aren't worth it. Second, the zombie apocalypse hasn't happened. There's no need to repopulate the earth. It's OK to choose what point in your life to create another.

The lady who made that video is a self-serving shill. Many of us are tired of the discussion - at least where this persons work is concerned.

This guy is a lot smarter than I am.
He's a lot smarter than me for sure! What I'd take out of this video is how the 2600 works for games. The big secret is that he didn't have this awesome idea for Pitfall! He dinked around with what he found he could do and made a game from it

This is way over my head. All I did last week was make two sprites and I couldn't even get that right lol.
Sorry about the poor explanation. My main point is that you can do more than you think in batari BASIC. With assembly you control every detail for maximum freedom. With batari BASIC you work within what it can do to find clever ways of getting what you want.
Also, check this video out:

Think of the 2 sprites, 2 missiles and ball as crayons. You're actually telling the VCS when to drag each of those crayons across the screen. By expertly deciding when to use what crayon you can pretend like there's more sprites, laser blasts, etc..
This is also the advantage and disadvantage of batari BASIC. bB decides how you drag those "crayons" across the screen. You can still find ways to bend the rules but you do not have exact control like assembly.
For instance, in my game M.M.S.B.C. II I appear to have 2 player ships with their own laser blasts and up to 8 simulated enemies on screen - all with parallax scrolling.

I didn't know some games were impossible in bb. I'm not at a point yet where it probably makes a difference.
It's not that some games are impossible in bB. it's just that you need to be ever more unconventional. Also, you might need to make your own mini-kernel or use inline assembly.
I've managed some smooth horizontal scrolling and even 4-way scrolling in bB.

Age is all relative anyway. Many smart people continue to learn over the years. Stuff like how to deal with stress. How to deal with people who push yer buttons. Even how to not to push other peoples buttons!
Sadly, that kind of learning is also a choice. Many people choose not to grow. Instead they blame their own behavior on life and others. So, I guess this Neverland forum shouldn't be a source of anger so much as a cautionary tale

Every forum seems to have their own culture - or lack of it.
Let off some steam if you have to.. just don't let the trolls control your mood. Just keep on being awesome and contribute where you feel is a healthy environment.

Possible Sequels:
* Bum 'Sploder

I took a look at your Pitfall II homage and it looked VERY nice! It looks like it could have been a DOS port of Pitfall II.
One thing: www.caiman.us is wrapping a useless downloader around your game that tries to put "Search Protect" (adware) on people's computers. Not sure if you are okay with that (or know about it)
-
Your sites are down for me. I think it would clear up a whole bunch of future confusion if you say "Atari 2600 inspired games" as I don't think Multimedia Fusion 2 can make actual Atari 2600 compatible games. Just my two cents
-
All homebrew just use the memory stick. You can sign your game so it can run on not jailbroken PSP's too

Just in case you get the urge to develop for the PSP..

Who wouldn't enjoy the substantial girth of that rocket!

That gets me a little angry and frustrated. Y'all played one of my 2600 games for a long time in one video (Cyber Willy maybe?). It's horrible that a corporate bot can kill channels.
My own experience has been getting flagged for the first 4 seconds of silence as being owned by some leech of a company. This was a video of me playing my own PC game of which EVERY asset including music was created by me.
Hopefully D.Tube takes off.
