Also, anyone know why Skeleton is $20 at AA and $16 at Hozer? I think the AA artwork is cooler, BTW.

 

The game is identical - the cartridge and manual artwork are unique. AA had the artwork done by AtariCart, while I did the cartridge artwork for Hozer, and Randy will be doing the manual. In either case, I get the same royalty.

 

The exclusive labels are a way for AA and Hozer to "compete" on something other than price. Plus, it means I profit from those people addicted to collecting label variations.

 

For reference, I will do not plan on creating limitted collector's editions of my games. So don't wait to buy Skeleton now!

The Skeleleton finder can be enabled/disabled using the left difficulty switch. (It should be B=off.) RTFM

 

For those of you interested in cartridges, I will also be working with Randy at Hozer Video to make cartridges available through him. However, the labels will be different/exclusive.

 

Although a label contest has been discussed, the guys at AtariAge haven't decided whether they want to go that route. I don't know what Randy and I will work out yet either. But I will gladly accept any artwork.

 

But before I give the go ahead to make the carts, I need to hear from you that it is bug free. (Especially the PAL version.) And although emulator testing is appreciated, I want to hear from those people with SuperChargers, CuttleCarts, RAMCarts or even EPROMs in ZIF sockets.

 

Happy hunting!

As CrazyImpmon and Rob Mitchell have discovered, the title screen rolls on a 2600. I've fixed the bug and sent in an update for posting. But you can also simply change the following bytes:

$300 - 57

$6ED - 25

$6F1 - 30

I am thrilled that everyone is enjoying my creation. And I read you loud and clear that you want an actual cartridge version. For those of you that want cartridges, I have a few questions:

1. Where do you buy your homebrews?

2. How much would you be willing to pay for an actual cartridge?

3. Plain or fancy? And what sort of fancies?

 

However, before I allow Skeleton to be offered I want to make sure there aren't any bugs still lurking in the code. Wouldn't want people to buy a flawed product.
