WOW! This is incredibly clever and looks amazing! Great job! I considered doing something like this when making the cart magnets, as I had baby blue Krylon Fusion available to me, but I thought it would be a bit too much work. You've not only proven me wrong, but proven that it looks superb as well! Awesome work!

Jeez! So many talented guys on the forums! EDIT: And talented ladies too!

PacFan?

10OUTOF9 AIR RAIDS ARE PROVEN TO CAUSE SIGNIFICANT BRAIN TORTURE VIA CPUWIZ

Yeah, I like it better without the names as well.

Nope. She buys them from her artist friends though! There are some REALLY talented artists on her website. Too bad they choose 'cheap Chinese plastic horse' as their medium, though, LOL! She doesn't do any of the new stuff, just collects the old 80s MLP stuff. She cannot stand bronies or any of these new pony collectors. Anyway, back on track! LOL So, my speculation is still that there has to be more of these hiding out somewhere. Vacuum molding the cart insert isn't cheap, and molding that cart alone has got to be at least $50,000. There's no way a small company would do something like that and only produce ~25 for samples for distribution, unless they had some sort of special deal like "I know a guy" in the molding industry that provided it on the cheap. I think there's several more waiting to be found by us Atari adventurers!

Don't worry, they're all just joking around about it -- your cart has more than enough provenance, and as stated, the other items make it pretty apparent this is legitimate.

I think we all know who will be funding this project as soon as he gets some free money..... However, I don't have 500 Euro available right now to be able to get the full game!

What about Lalaloopsies? LMFAO If it were a rare "My Little Pony" my wife would be buying plane tickets to your place. Those damn things are everywhere in my house.

Deleted the ROM. Posting of means to obtain copyrighted material, such as ROMs, is against AtariAge rules. Please don't post copyrighted ROMs in the future, thanks.

Stay tuned and keep an eye out for a release of the posters -- I've been working with Brian O regarding printing and distribution, and in the near future we'll have these posters up for order. Thus far expect a limited edition run.

I can offer 5,000 Chuck E Cheese tokens as bounty!

krishnasoft? Sounds like atariksi.

Cool. I definitely want them for myself if nothing else.

Are we free to print these if we like? I'd like to make a full set at work on photo paper and frame 'em. In fact, if you'd like, Monkey Labs would be more than happy to take on distribution and framing, order fulfillment, etc. for you. If you're interested send a PM my way -- I can use our large format HP printer at my Office Depot store, and printing is quite reasonable.

Let me know when it hits $50,000.....that's then "I'M IN!"

I agree! Random Terrain has a great article about it, and I think he explains it best. Since companies were introducing chips that enhanced the 2600's capabilities back when the console was new, I think things like Space Rocks still fit in the realm of "capabilities" for the system. If you can plug the cart in the slot of a completely unmodified console and play, it's still "good ol' 2600" to me!

DAMNIT! I always get that wrong! Editing now! Though if SpiceWare set about making the pinball machine on the 2600, I'm pretty sure he could do it! In fact, that should be added to my review: "Even if one were to misplace the name, thinking of Medieval Madness, the eponymous pinball machine, SpiceWare is so talented that I'm sure he could come up with a way to make even THAT on the Atari 2600!" Shhh....don't tell anyone...... Someone should make a Plimpton-esque commercial comparing the SpiceWare version and "the other guy's" version.....LOL!

Alright, time for me to write a full-fledged review! Those of us who have been here for a while know that SpiceWare is synonymous with high-quality offerings -- Medieval Mayhem being the ultimate, eponymous version of a certain Atari IP to remain unnamed. The latest offering from SpiceWare, Space Rocks, not only meets the high bar of expectation for SpiceWare's products, but completely blows it out of the water. This game is simply THE version of yet another Atari IP to remain unnamed; with visions of, oh, what are those called....those things that exist in a belt between Mars and Jupiter.....oh well, I can't seem to remember.....dancing in your head, you will be absolutely BLOWN TO BITS with the sheer FIREPOWER this version has. The graphics are wonderfully smooth, with flicker near non-existent (in fact, it basically is non-existent, because instead of a visible flicker, when multiple objects are on screen all my eyes see are a 'fade' effect), and SpiceWare has managed to put more sprites on screen than any other game thus far has managed! It is absolutely phenomenal. Your ROCK-HARD determination will be tested with new enemies, such as the Magna Mines, and your STONE-faced teeth-gritting will be at maximum pace when you see just how fast these rocks can fly! Seriously, this game seems beyond the capabilities of the little ol' 2600, and it's absolutely astonishing what Darrell manages to do with the console. This game is to Asteroids what Pac-Man 4K is to its 2600 predecessor......absolute night and day, and from the moment you flip that switch and start a game, you won't even remember what the previous version was like, because all that cart will do is gather dust while you play the technically, artistically, and FUN-TASTICALLY superior SPACE ROCKS!

Derp! Need to update my Harmony BIOS.

......and I think this discussion is over. I'm glad to hear Shawn is sorting it out for you.

I'm pretty sure the king of badminton in Alaska couldn't kick in my head in 5 blows or less.
