    Astroblast has been modified for the PlusCart High Score Club. The ASM code can be found in Gitlab.

    PlusCart user/tester can find the PAL and NTSC versions in the PlusStore directory "Public ROMs\PlusROMs\High Score Club"
     

    The NTSC version can be played online in javatari.js.

     

    The "PlusCart High Score Club" page for Astroblast:

    Thanks again to @DEBRO for his perfectly labeled and commented disassembly.

     

     

    Do you have other titles lined up to be added in the HSC???

    Yes, I realiced that... a bit shaddy.. first post is about asking for its value....  Having said that I appreciate the post of you. Yes, it was a very keen collector... and it was a very big collection. Unfortunattly I have to sell it off. I had no idea that there is a shop... so now this will be a new starting point. Probably I just figgure out what is not sold anymore, and the rest will go individually by auction. Manuals are included, no box. 

     

    Well..... I keep you posted. THanks for the help, 

    Cosmo

     

    Cosmo-

    Most of them can be found for sale today in the AA Store: https://atariage.com/store/index.php?l=product_list&c=21

     

    I am currently writing an Atari 2600 Homebrew and Hacks Checklist book which will have the rarity listed and the current price (or what the game sold for when originally released). I'm not turning it into a price guide as this would consistently change.

     

    The only ones not available currently would be your: numbered 2006 AtariAge Holiday Cart: Toyshop Trouble, numbered 2003 AtariAge Holiday Cart, & the E.T. Book Cart (out of print from AA, still available at Good Deal Games). BTW, that A-VCS-tec Challenge cartridge is a PAL version.

     

    Hope this helps.

    I haven't posted in a while, so I uploaded the current WIP. I redesigned the title screen using a new kernel that allows for dynamic palette changes. Watch the blue text and wait 4 seconds to see what I mean.

     

    I'm working on changing the betting screen to allow for higher bets (5 or 6 digit amounts), but the change will touch a lot of code, so it's going to be a significant change. The 1K and x2 bets are not working yet. x2 will double the current bet. I have to reassess if I have the RAM. I don't believe I do at the moment. The new kernel is using a few more bytes RAM, so I'll find some other code to crunch.

     

    These are not big changes, but I've been working on them for the past several weeks.

     

    Next change after this is adding keypad support. I display the two controllers that will be supported on the title screen.

    Awesome dynamic palette!

    Can't wait for the keypad support!

    Keep it coming!!!

    Let me start by saying that purists will hate this collection. I designed it for myself, but others have asked me for it, which is why I am posting it. I've gone through several thousand Atari ROMs, hacks and homebrews and carefully curated them into a "playability style" list.

    I know there are always other homebrews out there. I see references to them and screenshots to games I've never seen, even in the OneDrive spreadsheet on this forum (https://onedrive.live.com/view.aspx?resid=EBF48A1964E7EEB5!214&ithint=file%2Cxlsx&authkey=!ANBrJ6_VZzVCms0&fbclid=IwAR3WrzWCKVUC2nISHevCvn6qTcCuQE3uJvFyX7jVCm3n-Teo_ot02mZdzFo). I will of course, evaluate and add them, as I find them.

    I hope some of you find this useful.

    I asked for it..... I'm the guilty one! LOL

     

    Much easier to remember URL for my "List" is: https://tiny.cc/Atari2600Homebrew

     

    I do! Thanks Craig!!

    apropos of nothing...

     

    in the mid 90s, when I lived in the french quarter in new orleans, there was a guy who owned a few record stores there who called himself "Record Ron"

     

    he bought ads on the carriage horses that clopped through the french quarter that showed the addresses of the stores and a little picture of himself, saying "Tell me I sent you!" which was ridiculous and both does and does not make sense.

     

    So seeing "Robot Ron" makes me think of "Tell me I sent you!"

     

    I know that no one will care about that (other than maybe @Arenafoot if he was visiting the french quarter then) but thought that I would bring it up on account of we are all friends here.

    Yeah, I've heard of it but never been to one! I was a West Banker so my record stores were Gramaphone (Oakwood Mall) later was Musicland/Sam Goody, Camelot Records and Sound Shop (both in Belle Promenade Mall) and Warehouse Records and Tapes (LaPalco Blvd). Occasionally went to Tower Records at Jax Brewery in town.

    Since Kurt Howe @Nukey Shay hasn't been in the forums lately, I figured I'd ask any other programmers out here for help. I'm looking for someone to hack my game idea (and Ross Adkin - programmer) "Mardi Gras: The Video Game" for the AFP. Everything works on the portable but it does not line up correctly on there. As the items (throws) are being thrown from the floats, the spectator (the player) has to catch them, so it's very important for things to line up correctly on the screen in this game.

     

    I'm still planning a release for Mardi Gras season next year if the parts are available from China. PM me or respond on this thread if you can help with this issue, as I have no programming skills to fix this myself. 

    Thanks.

    Brian

    @Karl G and @jwelsh, no worries so far as buying a copy.  It will be free.  But, just so that I can retire someday, I will only guarantee ten copies.  And just so this doesn't go on forever, let's set a request deadline for midnight September 1st.  If there is interest beyond ten copies, I will have my kids draw names out of a hat after September 1st.  @Prizrak and @KevKelley are guaranteed copies since they requested copies in earlier posts (these won't count against the guaranteed ten copies).  Once I figure out how many I need for friends, family, and intended recipients, I may have some extra.  @Albert is getting me a pretty sweet deal on the cartridges, so there may be a few more to give away.  Unless you tell me otherwise, I will assume you want s NTSC version.  If you want a PAL60 version, please indicate as such.   

     

    For those that haven't followed this thread before or are wondering why I am giving copies away for free (or in a mood for little bit of a sob story), checkout post #14 in this thread which gives more details on the background of the game.  I didn't make this game for fame, and certainly didn't make it for money.  Working on this game has helped me get through the past year and a half.  My next doctor's appointment is next month.  If that visit goes well, I am statistically much more in the clear in regards to a potential recurrence.  I am sharing my game with others as a celebration of life and to give just a little bit back. 

    @Armscar Coder count me in! I love the artwork on the label!!!

    I will be adding it to a future Homebrew book also!

    Yes! Hope all goes well with you too Brian.🙂

    So far, they will be either a Cat 1 or less, so the only worry is flooding.... I'm off Monday and Tuesday from work, luckily!

    It has been a really busy month so I had barely had time to work on anything.  My work had experienced its annual inventory process so that was time consuming (maybe inspirational for another game? lol). 

    Same here.... ours was scheduled for August 6th then got cancelled the Saturday before.

    Whenever you are looking for a homebrew and/or hack, check my "List" first to see if its been done: https://tiny.cc/Atari2600Homebrew all titles are hyperlinked to where you can find them online.

    There's a Crackpots Unlimited hack from last year by Scott Dayton & Kurt Howe here.

    Thank you, I've sent a message to the seller explaining that this is not the same version of Baby Pac-Man we are selling, and to please remove the credits section from his auction.

     

     ..Al

    The seller cancelled the other auction and did a repost with different info: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Atari-7800-Baby-Pac-Man-Tested-Working-VG-Condition-Please-Read/174332946975
