    PacManPlus,

     

    what kind of happenings are you looking for exactly?

    There are tons of good rock and Latin music concerts in FLA. Everyone plays Florida. There are the Coconut Grove Art Festival, The Los Olas Art Festival, the Christmas Boat Parade in Ft. Lauderdale, major sports events in Miami, Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville, and numerous pet/animal events, as well as parades. There are symphonies, ballets, the Miami Calle Ocho festival. There's deep sea fishing, the Everglades, white water rafting upstate, college football and baseball, the Salvador Dali Museum, many many other art museums with events and exhibits, the Keys, the islands off the Tampa Bay for camping. There are races of all kinds (boats, cars, foot). There are big lectures at the universities. There are also events at the libraries. There are major car, design, culinary, and fashion shows. But as for video gaming, there seems to be real lack of events. Is that the kind of events you are looking for?

     

    PS-I'm a native Floridian who has been away for awhile, but I do go back several times a year. I really do miss the ocean, the multiculturalism, and the food.

    I'd start with Adventure, Berzerk, Yar's Revenge, Enduro, Cosmic Ark, Ms. Pac-Man, and Phoenix.

    Then go for genres like post #4 stated.

     

    There are a ton of good games in each genre. My favorite is the arcade genre(Centipede, Donkey Kong, Missile Command, Berzerk, Ms. Pac-Man, Phoenix, Galaxian, Solar Fox, Crystal Castles, etc.). But there are a lot of other good ones as well. In the adventure genre, there's Adventure, Montezuma's Revenge, H.E.R.O., Pifall and Pitfall II, Venture. There are a bunch of good driving games like Bump n Jump, Spy Hunter, Enduro, Night Driver, Pole Position. There are a bunch of great space games like Solaris, Star Master, Star Fire, Star Wars Arcade. And there are so many great shooter games like Chopper Command, Spider Fighter, Space Invaders, Defender II/Stargate. And there are a ton of great new homebrew games available in the store here on Atari Age. So many games, so little time. :)

    I agree with everyone above. Her work is excellent, and as a seller she is top notch. The Power Lords box arrived yesterday, and is fantastic. I would definitely buy from her again. I hope she makes more cool boxes in the future.

    I hope this doesn't change your mind about making more games for the 2600. The real Atari is the community not the company.

     

    Thank goodness I didn't get that Fuji tattoo I was considering!

    I suspect Boulder Dash® will be the last game/engine/system I ever write on the 2600... the hobby appears to me to be dying.

    Only 200 downloads *total* for the demo? How sad... 6 years of work. I doubt I could sell 250 copies even if I wanted to.

    Time to move on...?

     

    Andrew, please don't stop programming for the 2600. Your Qb and Christmas Qb are two of my favorite 2600 titles. I play them on a regular basis. Boulder Dash just might not be to everyone's fancy. I assure you, that if you make a variety of titles, they will appeal to a variety of people. Another factor might be that many people prefer carts to roms and emulators. Once Boulder Dash is on cart, in the store, it might sell more than you think, especially around Christmas. You are a great programmer and a great asset to the Atari hobby community. Please don't give up.
