Krokodile Cartridge

[Krokodile Cartridge]

By the way, SARA is another name for what that document calls the Super Chip.

[Krokodile Cartridge]

Support for the SARA chip? Either way, I'm going to make sure I don't miss out on this like I did with the Cuttle Carts.

[How many of you actively collect Homebrew and Hack carts?]

Here's what I have now.

 

That Archon looks sweet too. I have fond memories of that game on the Atari 800, but didn't even know it was ported to a cartridge. Maybe it's time to get a 5200.

[2004 Stan Awards?!]

I'm looking forward to another year for the awards. I have a pretty good idea who will get my vote for the Players' Choice, but I won't preempt your list now.

[How many of you actively collect Homebrew and Hack carts?]

Nice photos, SS! I presume Fatal Run is there because it's an NTSC version?

 

By the way, I forgot to list my Thrust+ Platinum. No offense, Thomas. I just keep it separately from my other homebrews because of the box.

[So what happened? (Infogrames)]

That's a good point, Stan. I can see how selling hacks would look like piracy to people outside the hobby. I don't dispute that Infogrames has legal control over the games, but I did take it a little personally when the hacks were called "wrong".

[So what happened? (Infogrames)]

I agree with Bryan here. The hacks that were formerly in the store were more like fan-fiction than pirating.

[Rock the Vote! Cybergoth's New Game]

No no no. I just meant that googling for videogames often leads to some nasty sites. I didn't mean to imply anything wrong with Cybergoth's page.

[Rock the Vote! Cybergoth's New Game]

Grand Theft Auto? Oh - nevermind.

 

I'll take a look at the games being considered this weekend. Meanwhile, Gateway maybe you could suggest a web site about your choice. One without a bunch of pop-up ads or spyware.

[So who bought Combat Redux?]

Combat Redux made it to #9 among the best selling 2600 hacks, so someone must have bought it. Although it is out of the store now, the ROM is still available at time of writing.

 

By the way, George Dodge, if you are out there, thanks a bunch for your 5-joystick review.

[Rock the Vote! Cybergoth's New Game]

It's not that I'm not interested in the poll, I just don't have much familiarity with the candidate games. I have however figured out that Pepper II is not a sequel to Burgertime.

 

Of course, whichever game Manuel does will be a worthy homebrew.

[- The U.S. Presidential Election Contest -]

Expect my entry somewhere around 2359, MST, on November 1 2004.

 

And might I humbly suggest that any coin toss be done with a toonie.

[Check out Yahoo! right now.]

In case anyone missed it...

[Prepare to drool on yourself, or what I did to ...]

Special thanks

 

You're welcome. LOL, it took me a while to figure out the changes you made.

 

I hope the interest expressed in this thread inspires someone to do the conversion to F6 bankswitching.

[Star Wars and the Atari 2600]

Jakk's Pacific is indeed making a Star Wars unit. See for yourself:

 

http://www.jakkstvgames.com/coming.html

 

There's not a lot of information at this point about what games the unit will include, but we'll all know by the time it's released.

[Minor Atariprotos.com Update]

Expect more updates over the next few weeks

 

Updates I'm looking forward to:

 

Survival Run

Ixion

and of course,

Meltdown

[Proto or ??????????]

Even if the ROM image is not released to the public, I hope Tempest gets a chance to see it, so he can add a page to atariprotos.com.

[Millipede: better than the 5200 version?]

I heard that GCC Millipede does use the superchip, so making a cart would not be easy. It would take the same effort as making an NTSC Klax.

 

I keep "bugging" AtariAge to add this prototype to the database.

[Hooked on Berzerk....again!]

A fun game that has been hacked many times. We all know about Berzerk Voice Enhanced, but I wanted to give a shout out for Paul Slocum's Mr. Roboto.

My Berzerk playing time is equally split between these two hacks.

[Changing Pitfall Harry's pants]

Hi Jerky,

 

Considering the excellent playfields you submitted for the Combat Redux contest, I really look forward to seeing what you do with Pitfall!

[Almost got a 2600 Meltdown prototype for $1]

I'd just like to take a minute to say a hearty thanks to Tempest and everyone else who was involved in just getting us this far.  

 

You are doing the work of saints, and all of us fans greatly appreciate it.

 

 

By the way, Tempest, were you able do extract enough data to rule out the possibility of a mislabeled cartridge? As NovaXpress pointed out, it has been known to happen.

[Parker Bros Protos]

This is how I spent my free time in Jan 2003. I've got a 719x1095 version ready to print when the bank switching work is done.

[Who's all Going to CGE]

Unfortunatley I'll be missing CGE this year. It's a busy month at work.

 

Should anyone happen to go to Santa Cruz, and visit the Boardwalk, could you please report on whether they still have a Dragon's Lair 2 machine at the arcade? It was there in the late 90's at least.
