For me, please: Golden Chalice King's Valley (you already have my Gulkave payment ) Thanks! -
First of all, let me just say, Daniel, THANK YOU! This has all the makings of a great game! I am very excited to see the final copy. I DID get through all 5 or 6 levels (can't remember) without dying once, though. I hope the game loops back around after the boss battle and keeps getting harder? Or even better -- more levels? The game should not have an end but just keep getting more difficult. Could you tell me if that is the plan? If so, you may want to implement a point system, although that's not necessarily required by any means. IF the game is only going to be 5 or 6 levels plus/minus boss, then it is too easy as currently constituted and won't have much replay value, at least for me. Also, LOVE the music! However...can you re-record Flora's voice using a girl, rather than man's falsetto voice? It would sound a lot more natural. Thanks again!

5 new games Pre-Order! - CollectorVision FALL NEWS!
DoctorTom replied to retroillucid's topic in CollectorVision
Got 'em today. Thanks! -
Me too. Come on, any game with asteroids in it gets my dough!

I will tell you that hiring the lawyers and going through the process may very well cost you more than you owe the printing company.

Wow, a flicker-free (or nearly so) DK would be just awesome. Can't wait! Thanks for the update.

If there's any chance I can get in on the first run black cart release, I would certainly pay the $30. I have been away from this site for a few days, now to my dismay.

Interesting boardgames to convert into CV games

I second Dark Tower. Amazing game.. -
Met a good friend today after church. I told him I enjoyed playing Atari yesterday with my daughter, 2P co-op Space Invaders. He said, "You still play those old games?" Followed by, "You know, those things are worth a lot of money nowadays."
-
I completely agree with your premise. Content should but paid for, as it reflects a lot of hard work and sacrifice. Your idea has merit. Obviously, the implementation will be more laborious.
-
I'll be purchasing a module and most games once the XM is released. I am very much looking forward to this and thank you for your efforts!

Do all these controllers plug into the 7800 joystick ports, or are they for emulators only?
-
Subterranea is a newly discovered little gem for me on the 2600. I'd love to see a 7800 version.

Recently got a 7800 need suggestions on 7800 games
DoctorTom replied to Atari the Jedi's topic in Atari 7800
Asteroids and/or Asteroids Deluxe (both have 2P co-op), Pac Man collection, Space Invaders, Centipede (2P co-op), Food Fight. Some of the other mentioned games I already have on other systems, such as Dig Dug, but I'm sure they're good on 7800, too. There are a bunch of great games on 2600 but a lot of stinkers too; there are plenty of game reviewers out there to consult for those. -

I recently played through ALL of the officially releasd ROMs (for those who care, it's over 500 games). I whittled it down to 22 great games, and I arrived at my 10 best (the top 5 were a piece of cake, while the bottom 5 were much tougher to nail down). Although I am still not 100% certain about the precise order, here are my top 10: 1. Adventure 2. Missile Command 3. Yar's Revenge 4. Demon Attack 5. Frogger 6. Space Invaders 7. Superman 8. Kaboom! 9. Circus Atari 10. Solar Storm #10 has a chance to move up considerably -- I just recently discovered it.
-
Got through all the 2600 officially released ROMs. Bottom line from my point of view...22 great games, 61 good games, 70 OK games, and over 350 games that never should have been made.

Elektronite D2K controls very well with the disc, too (as well as the disc can, for sure). I was very impressed. And I must say, those Jumpman Returns levels are no joke! A lot tougher than the original DK levels...
-
I am definitely curious about Chipshot. And I think perhaps I was on too easy a difficulty setting on Baseball; the computer was unable to catch any flyballs I hit. I like the look of Auto Racing and especially the car options. I might have to keep working on that steering... BTW, I love your inclusion of characters in D2K -- it adds a lot of replay value to the game.
-
Come on, man...Atari, INTV, CV, etc. all have their great games, don't you think?
-
I will NOT require a clear one. Let someone else who wants it more have a clear one.
