I'll probably see it someday.  For some strange reason, the more I see of Jim Carrey's clips,  Well against all odds, they make it look entertaining...

You add the constant DOUBLEY ($80) to the third argument of the SPRITE command. It will make the MOB use two GRAM cards for a 8x16 sprite.

Not to be confused with the constants ZOOMY2 ($100) which makes each pixel in the MOB the same height as in BACKTAB cards, or ZOOMY4 ($200) and ZOOMY8 ($300) which makes them twice and four times the size of BACKTAB pixels. The naming comes from the fact that MOBs default to half the vertical pixel size than BACKTAB cards are.

Also make sure you are using an even GRAM number (0, 2, 4, 6, up to 62) for the graphic definition.

On it. 

Would have been neat if Activision had created such a game... where you had to rescue Harry deep in the jungle. Pitfall! III: The Rescue.  lol

In an alternate universe it's Caballero: A Breaking Bit Movie.

Featuring Cabbage Pinkman Kids, Skinny PeteFall, and Buck Badgers Planet Of Zoom!

Why is ConTEXT bad?

ConTEXT is not currently being updated, that doesn't make it a bad choice, as it's still available.  But at the end of the day you can use quite a number of text editors, I currently use Sublime myself, but that does require a license. Programmer's NotePad has a lot of the required features (and probably more with all it's plugins).

Yep, I remember reading about that in Electronic Games magazine as a kid.  Also liked that show...

Classic Show!  I might have bought that game BITD if it had a Thundarr license!

Interesting!  Good ol' Warlords may have been the first to be adapted to the arcade from the 2600 home game... https://atariage.com/forums/topic/191708-2600-warlords-was-released-before-the-arcade-version-yes-according-to-egm/

That's crazy! I haven't played it, but now I want to. Screenshots definitely look similar. 

The programmer also made Frogger for SNES, the last game on the system. More crazy.

I knew about Bio Attack. I even have an old forum thread from 2016 talking about it at one point.

@Kiwi@GoldLeader Thanks for your input, this was more of a survey like question. I am following Alan Sugar's philosophy, Make my coleco homebrews for the masses and not the classes as I see SGM games as classy games. So my goal is to make a game that doesn't require SGM/Adam.

I see.  I do love ColecoVision homebrews so I hope you succeed!  The original SGM was like a lot of things that have happened (in this hobby) where you see something in a magazine and everybody wants it but it never happens.  I think it was  a victim of the crash.

Vanguard uses 443 bytes of RAM.  So I don't run out of RAM to use for my games.  Sometimes I'll use the VRAM to uncompress game data to it to be access. 

My target is to have my game compatible for all Colecovision. 

I like it, but I was hoping for a very local affiliate feel

Awesome commercial! I just don't know about the name "Double Ender." I would go with something catchier like "Double Trouble." Can we get Xonox on the phone?

wild, can't wait to see it and what I assume are very Canadian/Minnesotan  production values

Sweet!!

Cool.  Love those rubber hand grips!

Yes, Indeed!

I'm sure you're aware there already is a forum section for that, though perhaps you're rather looking for tutorials than a place to discuss issues.

Frankly I don't know which user friendly language is mostly used these days, if people are dealing with C compilers, perhaps something like Boriel's BASIC or another language I'm not aware of. There's always pure Z80 assembly of course but it likely would clash pretty much with "novice" level.

@carlssonIt only restricts to C:\Users\Steven and not C:\Intellivision, can you help me?

Does it mean that when you do echo %path% the path to the compiler and assembler - assumed that is what you mean by c:\Intellivision - is missing? If so, the default path can be altered this way:

1. Press Windows key + Pause/Break

2. Choose Advanced Settings

3. Choose Environment variables (button in the lower right half of the window)

4. Select the system variable Path and click Edit

5. Press cursor right so the default marking doesn't delete your current path, followed by ;c:\intellivision (note the semicolon) and press Ok

6. Ok, Ok, Ok and close the remaining window. Not sure if those changes get active for the next command prompt you open or if you need to reboot.

I might be barking up the wrong tree here, but I'm trying to understand your exact issue.

Not a fan. I just don't get why they turned Fantasy Island into a horror movie.

I mean, I kind of understand. If I saw one of those costumed mascot characters up close when I was 5-years-old, I might have wet myself, but they didn't have to wreck the nostalgia of ice-cream treats for everyone, did they?

@TwentySixHundred It's a lawyer friendly alteration of Princess Rescue, I wanted everyone to enjoy this great platformer even for those who like playing on real hardware. And don't worry I'll give MAJOR credit to @Sprybug

Ah ok that makes sense, i was just confused to whether you were Sprybug under a different alias or not. Thanks for clarifying that ?

Really? That's very interesting. I actually have that game in my collection. Remember buying it years ago (during the Electronics Boutique days) but only played a scant amount of it. Have not watched any videos on it either. I'm going to have to check it out again. I always thought it was a neat little game that I owned (just something about it is cool), but never interacted with it. Not sure why (I do recall it seemed tough, especially some dropping slime monsters or something). Have never really played Zelda, though (I know, I know...). 

I like Battle for Olympus better..

Hack-O-Matic. But first you have to find where the music is stored in the program!

That is, for the 2600. Don't know about 5200/7800.

@atari2600landThanks!
