    Has anyone achieved max rank on Space Shuttle... I just got Pilot and was immensley satisfied with myself. I barely made it though as far as fuel is concerned. I'm wondering how you can get in with 6 docks and 7500 fuel left...

    Space Shuttle, Ive just got the overlays on ebay and its so more realistic when using them :)

     

    Space Shuttle is one of my all time favorites... however I own it brand new in the box, and it does not contain an overlay. Was this made homebrew or was it an option you could buy back in the day?

     

    The overlays came with the original. There are two in total, 1 for the six switch and one for the four switch.

     

    You can see scans of the overlays here..

     

    Nope mine doesn't have it :-), it's not displayed or mentioned on the box. Do I have a rarer Version? I doubt it, my cart has the standard Activision blue label. But MAN!!! I would have killed to have that when I was younger. My manual for the game is totally mangled because I had to use it every time I played.

    Lastly: Cupcakus - what is Quest?  I may have missed the post announcing it; I'm not consistent about reading the forums.

     

    Quest is my 4 player homebrew project. The official announcement is a couple of weeks off, when I finish it's web site and get pictures of the 4 player joystick multitap.

     

    It is esentially a board game which is why I plugged it here :-), However it has many more traits hopefully never before seen in a 2600 game. I got a little bored oneday, so I made a "Flyer" image for it, which I shrunk into my avatar.

    I know just about everyone wants one of these that doesn't have one... However I will be unable to release my upcoming game unless I have one... so I guess that means that I will have to pay double or more for one. If you have one, that you'd like to make some money on let me know and I'll buy it off of you.

     

    I wish there was another way to test my game on the real thing.... With it being 8k I can't even use a SuperCharger.

    I've been playing Pitfall almost non stop for about a week now, trying to get the max score... A little tired of the same old thing.... for some change of pace I hacked the ROM, and made it super easy to get the max score... :-) I thought I'd make it available to the masses if to see if they want to have some fun with it. As you can imagine, I was first in line to buy a Game Genie when I was younger :-)

     

    OK -- Now back to trying to get the high score it legit.

     

    Changes:

     

    Timer moves to 19:59 and stops

    Barrels and Falling cause you to lose no points.

    Infinite lives

     

    I was going to reduce the size of the scorpions to make them easier to jump over, but what's the point... an untrained monkey could beat it with the above changes :-) :-) :-)

    <--------------- Quest :-) :-) :-) :-)

     

    But before I started writing that, definetly Video Chess.... I actually learned how to play chess on the Atari. My grandfather told me how the pieces moved, and I figured out how to beat the computer... Which I never did now that I think about it.

    Yeah, but why would he offer it as a solution, when I asked for a method of playing my homebrew on a real 2600. I already have an emulator... I need a way to get it on the 2600... altho I suspect you're right.

    All,

     

    To clear things up and not divluge too much info about the Anthology project. The title will be coming out for the Playstation 2. It will support cartridge "packet" downloading.

     

    "What does that mean?" Essentially a PS2 / Atari 2600.

     

    Thanks,

     

    I still dont get it... *shrug*

    The IC makes 8 players possible, 8 players on a 2600 is just plain silly. Eliminating saves about $1.50 or so for the IC, and about $5.00 for a breadboard from RadioShack... plus about an hour or so more for production wiring all the wires and diodes into the board.

     

    And, the golden rule of course is, the less complex you make it the less things that can go wrong with it down the road.
