    This looks really cool, great job

    i second that!

     

     

    The 16k/23 screens version is basically completed, I will not add more levels, only I will polish and debug if needed. But when the things goes more relaxed at work I plan to extend Peril to a 32k version with ,hopefully , 36 screens.

     

    Same thing with Knight Guy.

    Maybe I should include a bullet made with a missile or ball but either I was too lazy to do it or lack the proper knowledge. When you press the button the zombie instantly dies and drops his head.

    The other enemy is a UFO. It appears when you change the screen by walking to the right. It also drops a head ;)

    Too lazy to do it differently.

    Another thing that is confusing or not very clear is that if you walk to the right you enter another screen. But not if you go to the left. And that is not clear, because screens or "rooms" are sometimes the same graphically when they are consecutive. It needs a little more of work, I know.

    Is this still in development??

    Hello all,

     

    Here is a little project I worked on for a week back in May. It's a port of Atari's Avalanche. The game supports 1 or 2 player, paddles or joystick. To start a joystick game, press the joystick button. To start a paddle game, press the paddle button.

     

    Have fun!

    EDIT: The latest BIN can be found in this post.

     

     

     

    Old version (no color/bw option):

     

    attachicon.gifavalanche.bin

    Is the ROM in the first post updated today or the edit link is the updated ROM?

    I haven't seen anyone suggest nominees for the categories yet, so maybe I'll throw out a few to get the ball rolling:

     

    Best Homebrew: Mappy (an amazing port, and a lot of fun!), Dungeon II: Solstice (hard to believe it's only 4K!)

     

    Best bB Release: Sword of Surtr (this was a long time coming, and it evolved greatly in the process), Tyre Trax (beautiful and fun with an Activision-y feel)

     

    Best WIP: Aardvark (this is already amazing in its current form!), Wizard of Wor Arcade, Castle of Doom (a simple game, but a great time-waster with a lot of challenging levels)

     

    The nomination panel is currently processing (and playing) thru all of the eligible game titles and cutting the list down to a manageable size for the public vote.

    New to this Forum. New to post. Took quite a while to get approved on this Forum.

     

    Got the Flashback Portable 2018 for Christmas and downloaded the games noted at the beginning of this thread into a 2g SD card I got from Game Stop for $2.00 (used). Works great.

     

    Questions:

     

    1. Why was Basketball included in the "built-in" games? It is a two player game that seems to be using joystick #2 (right) for Player One where the AFP emulates joystick #1 (left).
    2. Why was Chase-It included in the "built-in" games? It is a two player game that is pointless to play as a single player game.
    3. Why doesn't the AFP have a configuration on the paddle emulation (to set motion speed)? It moves too fast, making the "built-in" games like Circus Atari, Breakout, and other paddle games pretty much impossible to play. It seems that Atari merely included the games that the FlashBack # consoles had regardless of their playability on a simulated paddle machine.

    In running the Self Diagnostic, the status of the paddle values jitters, implying that the connections for paddles exists on the game control chip and are probably left unconnected. So support for paddles seem to exist.

     

    Regards,

     

    Peter

     

     

    I can answer the second question, as I made the latest ROM pack that is posted here......

     

    2.) Chase It! is a 1 or 2 player game - "This 16k game is complete with twenty game variations and a demo mode. The first nine variations are two-player games, and games ten through fifteen are single player challenges. Variations sixteen through twenty are "teddy bear" levels featuring a slower moving handicapped opponent to give younger players an advantage."

     

    In my ROM pack when I was putting it together back in 2017, I was just trying to get as many "working" ROMs as I could, so the same built-in titles are also included in my ROM pack. If a future ROM pack update is done, these titles could be removed to make room for new homebrews that would work on the AFP.

    That's the problem. But we have categories for packaging, graphics and music. So why not have at least two categories for non bB homebrews?

     

    I would draw the lines between what was possible/affordable in the 80ties and what not.

    Please keep in mind this is the first year and first time for us doing this ....... we will learn from it and make the necessary changes for next year. But these categories are set as the trophies have been ordered for this list of categories.

    we are proud of 15 titles for intv and in general about the increased effort by intv community (I just checked the replies/views counters from previous gotys and each year we are bigger and bigger)...

    what is the live coverage exactly? is this something that can be worked out for intv as well?

    Possibility for the 2019 awards show, as James (host of ZeroPage Homebrew show) is trying to get a modified RGB INTV console (and has a CV modified recently) and will branch out to these systems during the new year.
