WIP Binary Update: Vroom! (2K) by Thomas Jentzsch @Thomas Jentzsch | WIP Binary (20210305) PLAY ON JAVATARI | Updated: Mar 5, 2021

I'm guessing you're talking about the Homestar Runner RPG by Paul Slocum. There are three demo binaries available, each showing off different aspects of the game: - One that has an Intro story and a Map Demo, in game music, can't go inside buildings (Labelled Demo, 2003) - One that has a simulated battle screen against a Robot, no in game music, can go inside buildings (Labelled Demo #2, 2004?) - One that has no battles, no intro story, can go inside buildings, has in game music (Labelled Demo#2, 2004) AA Thread #1 (2003): https://atariage.com/forums/topic/31249-homestar-runner-rpg/ AA Thread #2 (2006): https://atariage.com/forums/topic/87755-rpg-code-available/ AA Thread #3 (2010 with binary downloads): https://atariage.com/forums/topic/160840-the-homestar-rpg/ You can watch the coverage of the game we did on ZeroPage Homebrew on July 11, 2018 below it starting at 53:25 - James (SET VIDEO TO 1080P60 FOR FULL QUALITY)

@Thomas Jentzsch posted that he had a basic disassembly of Gyruss. You may want ask him to see if he still has it. It's one of my favourite games so I would love to see an improved version of the 2600 port, even though it's already really good. - James

That's excellent news, I'll be showing it on tomorrow night's show. It works really well on BupSystem so I'll demo it using that if you're not able to tweak it for the Concerto in time. It really reminds me of this fun 1986 music demo on the C64. 🙂 - James

Sadly they just stand there with my Concerto + Pokey. It will reset with button two but no matter how many times I press the first button they don't want to play their song. 😞 - James

Wow, there's so much to love in this update Thomas! - How you verify human players - Addition of computer opponents - The animation for resetting of the cars for a new race - Sounds are a great addition, I don't find anything wrong with them at all. It sounds like a cacophony of engines but I suspect it'll have to be like that with 8 players. - Minimum speed is now reasonable - Car colours for humans (light) and computer (dark) - The demo mode it kicks into with 8 computer players if you leave it Can't wait to play it again on next Tuesday's show! - James

Congratulations Darryl!!!!! - James
