    Cool game. I actually have no idea how I made it. I am looking forward to having it CIB in a few months myself.

     

    You actually did pretty good there, I even have a hard time with the level 3. Thanks for posting the video and doing the play testing. You guys help solve a number of problems. I also owe Tursi for a major techincal fix which I have not forgotten about.

     

    Awesome! Can't wait to buy it soon!

    Eduardo,

     

    The project looks amazing, congratulations!

     

    I know you're not interested to add 'modern' features such as HDMI, but what about a 15 Khz RGB out? :-D

     

    Concerning games, I'd love to see the following titles on the Prometheus library (in alphabetical order):

    1942 & 1943, Bomb Jack, Commando, Elevator Action, Enduro Racer, Escape from the Planet of the Robot Monsters (feasible?), Exerion, Galaga, Ghosts'N Goblins, Jungle King, Moon Cresta, Moon Patrol, Pleiads, Q*bert, Scramble, Shadow Warriors (feasible?), Terra Cresta, Xevious and Zaxxon.

    been busy improving the game.

     

    New title screen

     

    I also had a tight deadline to release my comic strip book. Will hopefully get back to finishing this now. Need to add a game over screen graphic.

     

    Been having some great help play testing and bug finding with some other members of the forums here. We have greatly improved things but still have some things to work on. Getting very close. now for sure.

     

    Great title screen, congratulations! :thumbsup: ;-)

    Question: Are Planeta Provoado, Lua de Transmissao, Planeta Usina, Lua de Extracao separate areas in the same game?

     

    They all appear to share the same engine. It's kind of like a mix of Berserk and Adventure, with some Metroid like exploration space areas going on. Sorry for the language barrier. I hope the manual is both in English and Portuguese.

     

    Yes, they're separate areas, they're, say, "separate games" if you like. icon_winking.gif

     

    I'm not sure, but I think there's an English manual as well.

    Is this NTSC? Is there video of gameplay?

     

    Yes, it is. icon_smile.gif

     

    Watch this video (in Portuguese, it starts at 08:38). icon_thumbsup.gif

    I'm the new "owner" of one of the prototypes along with several cartridges, PCBs and related items. Not long ago we prepared a "dossier" on the Onyx for our Brazilian Jogos 80 magazine. Unfortunately, it's in Portuguese. Anyway, it's available for download here:

    Eduardo Luccas, a friend of mine who owns the other proto, transferred the Onyx's BIOS to a file for emulator use and preservation:

    By the way, I'm producing/directing a documentary on the official arrival of video games in Brazil back in 1983. We're about to interview the engineer from Microdigital, the company that produced the protos, who did the donation. We're sure he's got some nice stories to tell us!

    Caros amigos da Atari Age, tudo bem?

     

    Meu nome é Marcus, sou autor dos livros "1983: O Ano dos Videogames no Brasil" e "1984: A Febre dos Videogames Continua" (www.memoriadovideogame.com.br), e há 10 anos coeditor da revista eletrônica "Jogos 80" (www.jogos80.com.br). Venho até vocês para pedir auxílio para a realização de meu próximo projeto que será feito com a ajuda de amigos.

     

    Quero produzir um documentário sobre a história da chegada dos videogames ao Brasil. Em essência, pretendo transformar meus livros, especialmente o primeiro, em imagens. Preciso, para isso, de R$ 20 Mil, pois haverá muitos gastos com viagens a outros estados para realização de entrevistas, licenciamento de imagens de arquivo da época (que estão com as emissoras de TV), narração profissional em estúdio etc. etc.

     

    Pretendo levantar o montante por meio de uma campanha de financiamento coletivo (crowdfunding) que está no site Kickante. Saibam tudo sobre o projeto no link abaixo:

     

    http://www.kickante.com.br/campanhas/1983-o-ano-dos-videogames-no-brasil

     

    Fizemos também um vídeo de demonstração para que possam ter ideia, em termos de qualidade de imagem e de som, de como ficará o documentário (será feito na resolução de 4K):

     

     

    Conto com a ajuda de vocês! :)


    Abraços,

    Marcus Garrett.
