Interesting that there is a post about this today. I was just thinking about this last night. Moon Patrol 2600 It is a great conversion. Now with that neat 2600 Music tool, can someone hack it to make the colors better and the MUSIC! The music is pretty good, but I think you could get the arcade music in there with the way combat rock and mr roboto were done. sound good?

Yes, he should start on the driving mode, since it would stand out the most on its own as a complete game. Then work on other "modules" to the game if he has time/desire/patience If it all got done, then it could be combined into a 16 or 32k bankswitching cart without too much trouble.

Here is the link to my trade list. I Just added a ton of stuff, plus I own a computer store so if you need anything PC wise. www.dpcomputers.com/trades.htm thanks all!

Wait till you see Irata's Quest. It's really coming along great. It's like my dream of a Zelda type adventure game for atari is becoming a reality. My wife even likes it!

Strange that link doesn't work for me.

Don't forget though that the Combat Source code is over 34K!

Yes, it was.

Lets try to not be too discouraging!

Your Welcome.

Great ideas, Perhaps Eric, you could also elaborate on what tools and resources are availble to a beginner in 2600 programming. Such as which assembler to use, so basic "hello world" examples to go by etc...

Cool, glad you will be flexible. This will be great!

is there enough news for the 5200 to justify a montly newsletter?

With 5200 Power K.I.T.T. Could Talk!! So could his boss on the little video screen!

Cafeman has a great Idea for a knight rider game. With the jumping and chasing and all. Just like on the show when the showed the side view of Kitt jumping things. Cool! But you gotta time it just right!

GO Bots! Ha, does anyone actually collect those still? Looks like robotech. Too. What game is that?

I KNOW! Why did they have to kill optimus in the movie! That made the show stink and they brought him back wierd and they made him normal again too late IMO. Why do they always ruin stuff like what they are doing to Star Trek Now. Oh, theres bumble bee on the back of the box inset thingy all small.

Standing offer, will trade a few of my Atari 5200 games (combat II, haunted House etc) and other atari items for Transformers toys! Email me your list and your target dollar value for each item. NO BEAST WARS! thanks

Hmm, that transformers game doesnt seem to have any "brand name" transformers in it, Where megatron, optimus or jazz at? I dont even see bumble bee!

What I really want is E.T. II THE Revenge Of Elliot For Xbox or Gamecube Battle 22 Huge Bosses and Defeat the Evil FBI Army (a la Matrix) hehe

ME! Hehe

ha! E.T. Is Battling Bosses now!

When would you recomend we do this? Should we just read the eproms, store them on our computer and then when the proto dies one day, reprogram or replace the eproms?

So can we take apart our Protos and read the roms and then reprogram them so they last longer?

Wow, I'd like to see that C64 Transformers game. I still have a lot of C64 stuff but no transformers game...

What's this Rabbit Transit Cart you have CPUWIZ? And what happens 10-20 years from now when all are collected lab protos are dead from bit rot? Are they still worth something?
