    yea, romhunter is awesome :) but I already knew about that, and was looking for all the homebrewness :) Did that Strongbad 2600 game ever get a demo or anything?

    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

    Question for anyone here is, before I go disassemble it, has anyone seen a disassembled copy maybe with some comments.  I'd rather not start out be reinventing the wheel the someone may have already started.

    @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.

    Thanks James, there's probably something to fix it, I've not made anything "concerto friendly" so I'll need to check on specific tweaks or adjustments.

    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. 🙂

    For best results, use real hardware. Works fine on DF with Pokey/PokeyMax, I expect it will be fine on Concerto + Pokey.

    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. 😞

    Next update V0.3 (see 1st post). 

     

    Major additions:

    • timer (30, 60 and 90s races) and start countdown
    • some sound (not final yet)
    • human vs computer players

    With SELECT you can select a race time, RESET starts the game. During the countdown, the human players have to press their buttons, this will brighten their cars. The other, darker cars will be controlled by the computer. During a race, the position of a car represents its current placement (not distances between cars). The visible gaps slowly increase during a race and are maximized at the finish. 

     

    Feedback welcome! The game still fits easily into 2K, so there is plenty space for further improvements.

    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!

    Not sure I'll be able to catch ZPH live tomorrow night, but I'll do my best!  At the very least, I'll definitely watch the archived show the next day!  Thanks so much for featuring the game!

    You're very welcome David, you've made some really great progress with the game. Hopefully you'll be able to join in the chat tonight to answer any questions from the viewers! 🙂

    Looks like the lucky winner will literally be pulled out of a hat by @ZeroPage Homebrew on a show pretty soon after the competition deadline. James, now I've said that, you ned to use an actual hat, OK?

    Tanya's got an assortment of great hats we can use for the draw. 🙂 I'll remind people tonight on the show to get their entries in.

    After having a coarse idea for an one button racing game, I went ahead and started coding.

    Very exciting!!!

     

    I have four sets of paddles and I'll check it out today (and in the news section of the show tonight)! 🙂

    I think when we wrap this up (about a week?) we should collate/post a list of names for the giveaway, post them here to make sure everyone's happy to be entered and we haven't missed anyone. Then I think perhaps ask @ZeroPage Homebrew to write each name on a post-it or something small and put in a jar and draw the winner live on the show. How does that sound?

    Oooh, fun! I'm in! Please PM me the names when you're ready to do the draw!
