[Alien Abduction, a new 2600 game from John Van Ryzin - (in VCS Store)]

Huh, it LOOKS like a real 2600 game. I guess we can only play it on the most recent VCS, not the original?

May have come mid-move. I just moved again, but at least now I am post-move : ) Thanks again for the reply

Hey, remember me : ) I helped write the manual like thirteen years ago? : ) Can I get one of these complete editions to go with my cart? : )

One year ago there was an Hover Force on ebay with 3D glasses, I didn’t win the auction and don’t know if they were "original", they were different from the Ferreira’s ones.

I find this point quite relevant indeed: were the 3D glasses sold toghether with the game at a point?

Any pictures from that auction or of the glasses?

 

I got my Hover Force back when it was released and it had no mention of 3D...

 

Still curious about that photo I saw in an old video game magazine...

Apparently, the original glasses involved liquid lenses.  A different liquid for each eye.

That's pretty wild! Never heard of liquid lenses before

[Intellivision 3D glasses]

Wow! That's awesome! Thank you

 

Is the cord part of the glasses function or just for security?

 

Now this makes me wonder even more about the picture in the magazine. Wish I could remember what magazine it was in all my magazines are buried in www.theimagic.com 's arc

 

Was there ever a housing these glasses were in that matched the intellivision 2s styling?

From the 1992 Georgia Tech article:

"Steenblik patented the technique through Georgia Tech, and in 1983 began to work with a developer of video games. ..."

Ok, so I still want to know how something that kinda looked like the vectrex 3D headset became a pair of cardboard glasses... That's what's missing for me, information wise

[Intellivision 3D glasses]

Yea... But there is something very much missing here... Chroma depth 1992, hover Force 1984 (released 86)

 

Also, while chroma depth may coincidentally work on hover Force, it also works on Jaguar AVP & Jim Power & many other places (I think I've talked about it before on AA forums somewhere : ) and I can find zero evidence that the wired inty2 style glasses from the old ces have any relation to the chroma depth.

 

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ChromaDepth

 

The problem is none of the info on chroma depth is even close to old enough to match when hover Force was actually being developed (84) & shown at that ces. 

 

Anyone else have the old vid game magazine with the picture of the glasses from the show? They sure aren't cardboard glasses.

[Intellivision 3D glasses]

I searched the forums & the Google & couldn't find it anywhere

 

I'm trying to find any pictures and info about the original 3D glasses shown with the intellivision and hover Force. I know they were shown at the January ces in 1984.

 

there is a pic of one of the blue sky rangers at their booth demoing hover Force on their Facebook. But it's just a picture of him

 

I first saw it in a magazine back in the day. It shows someone wearing the wired glasses with a matching inty 2 color scheme. The article also mentioned hover Force, I believe... 

 

a scan from the magazine would help, obviously. I can't remember it was electronic games or one of the others...

[Amiga CD32 compilations, finding titles & midwinter]

So I've tried all the searching I can and I can't figure out if there is a way to search what's on which compilation or even title lists to search for all the compilations on the cd32. I see there are tosec and many others, archive.org has a ton indexed too...

 

Specifically looking for midwinter I & II , also Hunter & Killing Cloud & any other polygon games

 

thanks in advance

Have stilphens maps been preserved anywhere?

[Fathom]

Ok, I beat this game BITD and I got a full screen text about where to send for a t-shirt... Can anyone help me with this memory? I own fathom on many platforms, but the only one I remember putting in all the time to beat it was the 2600 version... And it was not the tiny text at the bottom...

Do these work as one button controllers for the 2600?

 

Would it be possible to get the four directions mapped to the four extra buttons of the six button?

[Actual US Retail 2600 Release List & Regional/Worldwide]

I know I've posted about this before and I did some searches and still haven't been able to find anything definitive...

 

I want to have a list of the -actual- -retail- (Not some guy with a box of games trying to get them into his local stores (cough air-raid,) cough,) games released in the US. Every time I try to get the data together, the lists always have pal titles and protos and all sorts of mess in them

 

Ideally, I'd like to have similar lists for other regions, so collectors in their respective areas can know what a complete set is for them. And of course a 'world wide' list. Ideally, one could have lists of unique titles but considering how strange the titles get with the pirates, I understand

There's this weird semi-comprehensive collection of 10,000 files in archive.com called atari 2600 nongood that has just about everything through the end of 2017. Thing is, it has every posted version of the major and minor homebrews, like all versions of development of a game from version 1 to version 22 or whatever.

 

In the meantime, I have this. It gets a little light in 2020 and 2021...just too many games. If anyone wants to supplement it with stuff from the last year and a half, please do.

to quote one of the greatest people ever "I want it all and I want it now"  when it comes to 2600, I really do want all of it. every weird little variation. All of the games from Ian Bogost's college programming class. All of it  There really is nothing else like the 2600 in the console world, imho  That's why I want to celebrate it all in a giant museum housing every game ever (physical and digital, from Senet to Pokemon Legends) www.theimagic.com

I don't believe a multi cart would work with the Retron77 but you could mod the system and run the homebrew games from the SD card. I help run PlusCart and I could zip all the homebrew games and give you a link if you wish.
