Holy crap, this is Flappy Bird levels of frustrating!

[What TV do you play Atari on?]

An old TruTech CRT. My kids say that when they get close they can hear a loud ringing, but I don't hear it. Must be my old ears.

You need to go get a second opinion, stat.

Get well, man!

Nice job, @graywest. Hard, but fun!

I kind of miss the world trade center.

 

Me too. The Freedom Tower is great, but I wish they rebuilt the WTC. My wife's uncle-in-law worked on the towers and made a small scrap book with pics of them being built. Pretty cool.

wasn't a lot of it filmed in east st. louis?

 

trying to remember what old starlog magazines said...

You're right. Most of the city scenes were filmed in St. Louis. https://www.movie-locations.com/movies/e/Escape-From-New-York.php

Fun fact: I work where the "World Trade Center lobby" scenes were shot.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Very cool! I’m guessing somewhere in CA? I think the majority of the movie, ironically, was filmed outside of NY.

Holy crap, that's amazing.

What I would be interested in is someone helping me create a .bin file of the tune from American Bandstand that could be put into a cart. It would play that song when put into an actual console. No game, just American Bandstand, just like in the movie.

Might use the playfield for blockades.

 

Might also change the health pack to an "E" so you can draw it will a missile or the ball.

 

Might be fun to borrow from Beyond Castle Wolfenstein, limit ammo, and require some stealth.  Berzerk set the bar for pure run and gun pretty high already.

 

Probably don't need to even actually draw bullets.  Muzzle flashes would suffice.

 

Too bad I'm so busy. 

 

Also, there's no way you get away with using that IP.  Probably better imagined as a zombie apocalypse in Chicago.

I didn’t create this with the intention of anyone developing it. It was just for fun.

 

Also, I’m not a game developer, so I’m sure there are many things that don’t work/could be improved upon!

You're going to have everything done but the actual programming of the game!

As always! It was a fun exercise, regardless.

[Escape From New York for the 2600?]

Needed to make a fake manual, so I created a fake game to go with it!

 

 

 

[Escape From New York for the 2600?]

Some more sprites (Brain, Maggie, and President). I'll admit, creating these is fun even if they're never used for anything!

I know!  crazy.  I really enjoyed seeing how you incorporated the programming limitations into the mockups.

 

I def thought that was one of the more interesting original ideas out there.

I knew next to nothing about how games were developed, as well as the limitations. I was hoping the idea would be compelling enough for someone to want to code. I knew I could never do it. I read that Idea Peddlers thread, and I didn't want to be another one of those "I have 1% of an idea, make the whole game for me" guys. I still have the printed box in my collection

Great to see you mocking up boxes again!

 

still hoping that someone will take on afraid of the dark!

LOL. Can’t believe that was almost 10 years ago. I forgot all about that.

Thanks. Sorry about that!

This is amazing. Love the artwork.

[Escape From New York for the 2600?]

Made a couple more sprites. Cabbie and the Duke. Man, making sprites is difficult. I have a newfound respect for the PacManReds and Nathan Strums of the world

That suspiciously looks like a hack of Haunted House.

LOL, good catch! Although I did manage to create a (somewhat) acceptable sprite of Snake Plissken.
