[H.E.R.O. (Activision)]

I was lucky to buy H.E.R.O just before the rising prices. Interestingly I have both the 2600 and Colecovision version, and even though the Colecovision version has better graphics, I prefer the solid walls of 2600. Maybe unfair gameplay, but it was almost carved in our 80s brain to give a flash look to everything and move fast.

[Captain Marvel - Spoiler-free review]

Nice review!

[Z-Tack (Bomb)]

Wow! first time I've heard of it.

[Subroutines in C]

The subroutine is not nested in the nmi function, it just looks like. If you read it carefully, after nmi() there are { and } in same line.

 

C language is free form so it takes it like an empty function.

[X-Man (Universal Gamex)]

The first thing I see in Xmas are these pixelated images, certainly unexpected!

[Bump 'n' Jump (Mattel, Telegames)]

I'm surprised each time I see your blog post I go immediately to read it I really like your honest reviews

 

You've got a fan there

[Playing The (IntyBASIC Programming Contest) Judge]

Then I discovered Yikes has the exact contrary meaning of what I wanted to say: kudos!

[Playing The (IntyBASIC Programming Contest) Judge]

Yikes!

[Journey: Escape (Data Age)]

Didn't knew this was the game that killed Data Age. I supposed that it was one of their first games because it lacks gameplay polishing XD

[Scubbly is shutting down]

Currentl I've found another site and I'm in the process of moving my files. I've been sidetracked by projects, but soon I hope to have news

 

Anyway Scubbly will continue to work till March.

[Memorable (famous) Movies before 1985]

I've seen 90% of this, except Female Trouble, Superfuzz, Xanadu and Don Camillo.

[I give up programming]

I'm still waiting for your i game for Intellivision to be finished. You cannot disappoint me

[Silence is not golden.]

Replacing the SN76489 sounds like a good option after testing its output pin.

 

I hope you can find someone nearby that can do these simple electronics repair.

[Rock Cutter]

It looks really amazing nice graphics

[Donkey Kong 3 WIP 3]

It looks so good!!! Congratulations!

[I worked on smooth scrolling today.]

There is a trick to know how much time are you wasting inside vertical retrace interrrupt.

 

At start of interrupt (after saving the register and everything) load border register with white color, and at end of interrupt reload border with black.

 

The white color will show you how much screen time are you using inside interrupt.

 

Typically the white color should not exceed the first 32 lines, but that depends on your game.
