yep, that is on the to do list. i don't have wall collisons yet. i am currently working on pick up/drop objects, player color change and chalice flash.

i'm using mode 3. i'm using the ham method to create the sprites: m_PlayerObj = ham_CreateObj((void*)playerY_Bitmap,OBJ_SIZE_8X8, OBJ_MODE_NORMAL,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,m_X,m_Y); the square changing shape is a video compression artifact. to do list for game 1: 1) ability to pick up / drop objs 2) dragon can change rooms 3) player color matches playfield 4) sound 5) collision with walls 6) keys work 7) working gates on castle flashing chalice 9) make magnet work

if you really want to nail it, then you need to do a paired comparison of each game. example, i liked adventure __ more __ equal __ less than solaris if not equal, then how much more or less on a scale of 2 to 9. after all of the comparisons, you compute the geomeans and run it through anova. though you can usually tell just from the geomeans but anova will give statistical significance.

i plan on releasing my source code with the game so there can be no complaints it is not a 1 to 1 port. first, 2600 games are designed for a 4:3 monitor while the gameboy is 3:2. i was always annoyed by the flashing so there will be none of that. just a few examples. to go the purist route would require an emu port. some of my plans include inserting new items to seek revenge on that damn bat.

i figured the format would be an issue. i recorded an uncompressed avi and it was 114mb. i used movie maker on winxp to make it smaller.

for giggles, i have been coding up adventure in c++ using visual HAM for the game boy. 20+ years later with modern software tools on modern hardware, it is still a pain. it makes you apprecitate how good those 2600 guys were. anyway, still much to do, but a short demo clip adventure.wmv

maybe it is just me, but i think it is weird that snes is a classic. for those interested in a snes, check out my auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...AMESE%3AIT&rd=1

if you ever hire cheerleaders: 2-bits, 4-bits, 6-bits, a dollar. all for the 8-bits, stand up and holler

i was thinking LL would be easy to recode. 2d gfxs and a little sound. unless you just gotta have the thrust handle.

i played it at disney quest this year. drive to orlando and fork over $30. play til you drop cause no one bothers playing it.

you know you're addicted to emoticons when: a) you reached the limit b) the board must put in a limit c) you must complain about the limit d) you devote threads to the limit well, at least you aren't an emoticon racist like mailbock

2600 commandment #1 : thou shalt not read the manual

actually, the first title was "mario pee-pee'er" but the translation got messed up.

man, i forgot i had that game. screen shots anywhere?

. . . and negative feedback will be left, knees broken, and random member of your family shot. happy bidding!

first, i think this is cool but ... why not just get an ipaq with pocketVCS on it? you won't have to haul around every cart, it's smaller, lighter and cheaper. http://pocketvcs.emuunlim.com/

some of my comments: i like the gallery feature. i really don't need the edit feature as it's abcents be taught me to be flawless in my posting. i suggest in addition to the fast reply button, we have a form reply with things like; - evolution is fact not fiction - shut up kepone you flaming liberal - shut up gregorydg you flaming conservative - shut up chris++ - my butt itches
