[$52?]

Have you considered a reproduction cartridge? These are $20 each

Keep in mind that Parker Brothers never intended to release Q*Bert for the O2 in the USA because they had no faith in the console in the USA.

Have you read my web page on this?

[CD printing services?]

I sent you a message about discmakers.com

[My Jack O'Lantern collection]

Impressive collection!

[In a bad mood.]

Nanochess just posted some help in a message for you. I also sent you an email with some ideas to expand on this game. Stay cool.

[Announcing a new ActionMax Homebrew game!]

A clever play on words! Sounds like fun!

[Float like a moth, sting like a bee]

Keep working on it, Chris. This game looks fun!

[A song to always have]

One option is to store your important documents on blank DVD or CDs...

 

According to this CD info web site, a disc can last 30-100 years...

Or, for Christmas 2015: NICE ICE for the Intellivision!

[Intellivision Ideas]

Hi Chris - WALLS! for the Intellivision or CHIEF CHEF! That would be awesome. Both games are real cool on the Odyssey2! -Tim

[New Odyssey 2 project]

I remember back in March of 2012 you programmed a start of a Kaboom! clone for the Odyssey 2:

I thought that was a great start! I like the looks of your new one so far!

 

I like the name KABLAM!

 

And how about this: instead of a mad bomber, you are working in a restaurant. The chef has gone crazy and is throwing meatballs! You have to

catch the meatballs with your plates!

[Wordmaster]

I've never been to Duarte, CA but I want to go. It is on my bucket list. My uncle has been and he told me it is very nice. Did not know it made it into the Wordmaster DS game. Amazon has it for $4.90. I should pick it up for my DS.

[Any bird experts here?]

I am not a bird expert at all. Have you take a look at this site?

[Odd, I See...]

I am glad you took my suggestion and named the game REINDEER! Very cool!

I like how this is coming along. I am looking forward to seeing the elf in the game.

If you finish programming the game on or around December 25, I would love to publish

the game on cartridge on January 1, 2014. In my opinion, it does not have to be a

Christmas-themed game. It can be a winter-themed game that can be played year-round!

[Question and Answer]

Thank you! Lots of useful information. One show that I do enjoy is watching is the Travel Channel's TOY HUNTER.

I will miss that once I cancel cable TV. I looked on Amazon Instant Video and I see it is there, but I have to pay for the content.

If I sign up and join Amazon Prime, will I have to still pay for the content? I see it is like $2.99 per episode or $20.99 for the entire season. Are these the prices for the general public?

[Dog: Day 2]

I think what you have there is a Zircon Video Command joystick

 

Take a look at our controller FAQ. Scroll down to the controllers that start with the letter Z.

Enjoy!

[My first blog!]

Congrats. I enjoyed reading yout story. I am in the process of doing the same ( cleaning up the basement and starting a small computer lab / videogame area - but I am also dubbing it as a man cave - ha ha )

I would love to see some pictures of your finished room in the basement. I am browsing IKEA's products as well for ideas.

[At a crossroad]

My vote is for a timed game - just like Freeway. One point for every successful trip across the road!

[the future of Super Giuseppe Bros.]

I hope you decided to keep working on it. Maybe take break from it for awhile? Amazing that you can do all this in 2K! I don't think it will be a problem if it is not a long game. Did you get the sketch I sent you that was an O2 tribute to Donkey Kong? Would you have the room make this screen possibly the

final boss screen in Super Giuseppe Bros. for Odyssey^2 ? Just a suggestion...

 

Giuseppe could be the bottom character... Fido (the enemy) is at the top and he has captured

Princess Pomegranate

 

would you have enough memory to add it?

It would kinda be a cool tribute to DONKEY KONG....

[Stupid octopus]

Can you tell me about the hardware that allows you to play the binaries on a real O2? where can I buy it? Is it something available for sale from someone on the videopac.nl web forum? I may be interested in it. For $100 I could play all my O2 binaries that I have for the emulator... and all the new homebrew games being made for the system.

[GoSub's future?]

Chris - As you know, I'm a big O2 fan. I'd love to see GoSub released for the O2. Please continue! Perhaps you can try posting your assembly language question(s) here on AtariAge under one of the Programming forums? Even if you made GoSub without the octopus, I'd still buy it. I think it looks great so far.

As for your videos, why not look into placing your videos on a site other than youtube. I can't recall but I think yahoo and msn offer free video hosting. I am sure there are others that try to copy and rival what youtube is doing. DON'T LET THE TURKEYS DRAG YOU DOWN!

[miscellaneous things i want]

I can check my local comic shop on Monday or Tuesday fpr Spongebob #7 and #8. They may have 'em.

 

Also I just remembered your Spongebob Jellyfishing batari BASIC game.

Any chance you would consider starting to work on this again? It is very cool!

[Kaboom! for the Odyssey^2 ?]

I would love to see Kaboom for the O2 and I just tried it on the O2EM emulator and I think you are off to a good start. You would have to change the name though, right? Ka-blam! or Ka-pow! or Ba-boom!
