And to that end here is a sneak peek of the label with early artwork.

More a nice utility for a game night than a game. As a suggestion, as players may give the wrong answer maybe you could add a function which would allow the quiz master to allow the other players to come back in, say usiing the Select key which would lock out the last player(s) that gave the wrong answer?

Nice concept, but could do with a lot more explaining of the game. Maybe with a few more screenshots.

Read the whole thread but not seen this mentioned. If you put in a nonsense word of random letters and hammer the fire button, you can see the letters turn Orange or Green as it flashes, so the turn is not counted so you can find the letters and where the letters go. So it's not too difficult to get the solution in one step... One assumes it's checking the letters first, changing them, checking if it is valid and reseting it if it is not.

Pretty looking game, although I completed it on my first go.

Working on a nice PDF manual just for the demo. Hopefully this will be up soon.

Just to point out that we won't be making any money from the game, although if you do want to support us then please do buy the box and manual, which comes with 2 extra pages of bonus sketches.

The keyboard doesn't look like it is going to be comfortable to type on for long periods, given lack of wrist rest and that the switches are above the case.

There wil be a box and manual for PitKat, the game won't be directly sold but will be available by other means (email us for more information). Here is what the box looks like

Nominations, so new flyer

How does it not work? Does it work and then crash? Have you tried both the PAL and PAL60 versions? The game was tested on an Atari 7800 NTSC and did work fine.

Download the ZIP file that is the first post in the thread and read the PDF manual and the extra README.TXT file as it will explain what everything does.

It would have been good if the games were in their own folders in the catagory folder as the files are a bit all over the place and it would have been useful to have all the game files for that game together so people would have downloaded all the files needed for the game. For example Pitkat doesn't have the readme.txt file which is mentioned in the manual and is also useful. The zip file can be found below, the thread also has some replies about some of the issues that people might had running the game.

Minor Update If you run Pitkat on Stella (on emulation or Retron 77) and for some odd reason you want to run the PAL60 version rather then the NTSC version (or PAL one) then you need to set TV Format to PAL60. You can do this by highlighting the game, selecting options, going to game properties and changing TV Format. Running the PAL60 version with TV Format set to Auto Detect will make Stella detect the game as NTSC. As the game wants to display the PAL colours, the colours will be off although still playable. The PAL60 version was made primarially for PAL consoles that would be running Harmony, Pluscart or even a real cartridge.

Updated the flyer above

Alternative Imagic cover. (It's a tongue in cheek joke about Imagic covers... It won't be a offerered cover... even if the grey is a Panatone Metalic ink...)

"Magazine" advert for Pitkat

Feel free to play it, the download is on the 3rd post and works well in Stella.

If you find any bugs then either mention them here or email us at pitkat2600@gmail.com Hope everyone read the README.TXT and looked at the manual. Any feedback you have for that would be most appreciated too

Apart from Best Electronics is there anywhere to get a NTSC TIA chip?

Is there any freeware vector versions or fonts of the controller symbols that appear on the back of Atari 2600 game boxes (the Joystick, Paddles, etc)? Making a manual / box for a freeware 2600 game and I want to make it as easy as possible.

Most PDF programs (and printer drivers) will allow you to print the pages as a booklet and if your printer doesn't support dupplex printing then it will tell you to take out and refeed the pages back in to print on both sides of the page.Most PDFs should be in 5x7 inch format so either print to Tabloid / A3 paper without scaling or on letter / A4 with scaled to fit the paper. If you have the single images then there are several PDF creators, although I am not not sure whats on the iPad or Mac.

As the title says, what is the paper weight of the paper used in the Atari game 2600 manuals?
