OK, last one for the night. One of my favorite homebrew games, Conquest of Mars: Like with some of the other, I couldn't match the colors perfectly (since LEGO Digital Designer doesn't offer too many color options), but I think it turned out okay. G'night all. -B

Thanks! I like that game idea, too. Wish I knew how to program PS -- Nice avatar. You watching the new V series on ABC? -B

Thanks for all the kind words, everyone! Here's a couple more: E.T.: The Extra Terrestrial: Pitfall Harry: -B

I bought this with high hopes. Boy, was I disappointed. What a piece of crap. -B

Did you get the SkyNet Edition? If so, the computer learns at a geometric rate, then eventually takes over the world with a army of Robot Marios. The only logical solution is not to play. -B

This is amazing. Nice job. -B

Thanks!

Brian, I am a big fan of Lego, thank you! Shouldn't we add Lego pieces in L.E.M. box? In the last years I collected Lego Star Wars and bought some Mindstorms sets (unfortunately I had no time to do experiments). Haha! Including LEGOs in the box would be great, but it would cost you some serious $$$. You'd need to purchase the pieces, and then create the instructions/illustrations. You really should download the LEGO Digital Designer software (http://ldd.lego.com/). I've been having a lot of fun with it. -B

This one is nice!!!!!!!!! Thanks! It lends itself nicely to a LEGO model, since it's all connected. Some of the sprites have horizontally adjacent pixels, or non-connected pixels, or even some (like Mario's mustache in Donkey Kong), where the background fills in for missing pixels. Makes creating those more difficult, if not impossible I'm going to make a few more and see how it goes. I may have to hit a LEGO store soon! -B

I just realized at this very moment that you weren't saying "Now do it" with an Arnold Schwarzenegger accent, but "Now do E.T." LOL. -B

One last one for tonight. Philsan, this one's for you: L.E.M. -B

Here's Master Chief, from Halo 2600: -B

Hahaha, I'd love to make some of those, but LEGo charge an arm and a leg for custom boxes. They probably wouldn't even let me make the box since Atari is trademarked. For now, I'm going to play around with the LEGO Designer and see what other ones I can create. -B

Ranthulfr had commented in my new boxes for common carts thread that the box comps I created looked like the black LEGO Architecture boxes, and it got me thinking what it would be like if LEGO sold retro game sprites as sets. So, I created an imaginary line of LEGO sets called LEGO Retroids. I didn't have enough LEGO pieces to create any model comps, so I downloaded LEGO Digital Designer (http://ldd.lego.com/download/default.aspx), and was able to create 3D versions of the Berzerk Robot and Pac-Man sprites from the 2600 versions of the games. If you like LEGO, and haven't messed around with LEGO Digital Designer, you're missing out on a lot of fun. Plus, anything you create you can get specially made by LEGO, along with Instructions and Custom Box (it's pretty damn expensive though). Anyway, here's the fruits of my labor. My imaginary LEGO Retroids boxes. Hope you like 'em: Pac-Man: Berzerk: -B

Thanks, Homer!

I think if you make a game about Heart, the object of the game should be to help Ann get thin again by having her avoid food that flies at her from all angles.

This thread confirms, on a daily basis, that the thrift stores in my area just plain suck.

This thread gets the

David Crane and Steve Cartwright without a doubt (and pretty much anyone who was developing Activision games during the 2600's heyday). Those games were my first real exposure to gaming. I'd have to throw in Shigeru Miyamoto as well. Donkey Kong, Super Mario Bros, and the original Legend of Zelda are some of my favorite games. -B

Sounds legit...

Yeah, they left out a lot of the older controllers, but it's still cool. -B
