    Cool, not at all trashy. ;) I notice that the copyright date is 2014 - has this game been in development, perhaps off and on, for that long?

    i designed the game around Easter 2014 i think. it was programmed and finished around December time. The deadline we set for the artwork to be done was march but Dan was offered a really really huge job and had to concentrate on that so i took over the artwork and design segment. It was finished up fully maybe in late June of this year and here we are today. Time in getting a game out seems to just evaporate. look at Star castle what has that been now about three years or more?

    Here is a little update for you guys and a thank you for your continued patience with this release.

     

    There was so much really awesome artwork surrounding this project that i decided to make the cartridge and box different. They are not so different that they look as though they don't belong but they are also not uniform. I considered a lot of styles that i enjoy and im sure you all do about classic Atari label design and i implemented as many influences as i can to create something familiar and yet original.

     

    So it gives me great pleasure to share with you the final release cartridge label

    Thanks for the update, was getting concerned!

    Thanks for staying with me, no concern required, collectorvision began a lot of other projects around the same time as this one, so there is obviously only so much that can be done by a relatively small operation and we want to give you guys the highest quality available, the box looks absolutely killer trust me, its beautiful

    Hi guys, sorry this has been a little quiet of late but i can confirm that the carts are going to go into production soon. As this is being handled by collectorvision no down payment is required you can simply get it from their store when they are done, i just hope those that wished for a cart will be good enough to do so and purchase one. the order as found here will still represent the number cart that you receive, i will contact you for your names so that they can check them as you place your orders.

     

    Thanks again for being patient

    The latest version of the game has the ability to turn off the music ('cept the game over song). This song imitates a popular song from Out Run!. I would recommend turning down your volume if you can hear it across your apartment. I can't fit any smaller sprites into the game as most of the space is taken up. The reason the cars are the size that they are is to be realistic in comparison with the car being imitated (the convertible Ferrari is a slightly smallish car when compared to many other popular sports cars). It's not a Miata, but it's thin. I beat the game nearly every time I play it, so I don't have a problem getting around the traffic. The cars mulling towards you is to give the feeling that they are very fast like other sports cars should be. There is a difference in speed, based on your gear, although subtle. I may be able to make them come at you slightly faster in high gear. That is not out of the realm of possibility.

    What ferrari are you basing your car on? If its a testarossa like out run then believe me they are big cars, very wide, i know someone who has one.

    Guys and gals lend me your learned shopping expertise

     

     

    I have bought quite a few games from the store over the past few years and loved them all, we have great talent making games for us.

     

    I keep punishing myself and continually browsing both the 7800 and 2600 categories, funds are a little tight just now but im gonna treat myself.

     

    Do me the favour of telling me your very best recommendations from the store, there are lots of good games but what are the really great games.

     

    As a huge shooter fan im leaning heavily toward 'LEAD' can you guys recommend it???

     

    Thanks for your input in advance

    O.k last night i played the game but only with viewing what i assumed was a car as a hood ornament as someone suggested earlier and i can say it feels totally different. if gives you an instantly sort of elevated play position. try it out if you can see beyond the years of viewing it as a car.

    The interesting thing about the game is that the beautiful 2600 artwork is based on a GT2 race and features Porsche 911's as does the overall design of the original arcade cabinet, the arcade flyer even says you can select different 'tracks' and the on screen car sticker is that of an open top Le man /Can-Am style car so this is actually a race car simulator that was altered for the home version to make it more interesting.
