G-type

... but which pixels are used? because many times, they appear to pass through each other unimpacted. (its one of the frustrating points of the game)

Can anyone pinpoint where exactly the hitbox is to register a collision between your man and the bit? As near as I can tell its his legs (only while jumping; disabled when dropping down a level or riding an elevator)

I think Base Attack is a PAL game Missile Control is another cool PAL game... nice twist on Missile Command I'm also fond of Room of Doom from CommaVid for homebrew, check out Omicron

If the worms get to the kids before you save them, you lose.

(I beat both games)

Overlooked Gems: Room of Doom: As you progress to the higher levels it gets pretty hectic Adventures of Tron: The hit detection is a little wonky, but I keep coming back to this one over and over again. Reactor: It's like playing bumper cars with mosquitos inside a giant bug zapper Wizard of Wor: Great with 2 players Blueprint: primarily a memory game combined with some shooting and maze/creature dodging... Solar Fox: Its like playing pac-man/qbert inside a bullet hell Stampede: So much more depth than meets the eye, lots of strategy to the bumping and clearing of lanes Beamrider: Fantastic shooter. Looks and plays great. Dolphin: reminds me of the laser gates and hypno orb racing levels from Battletoads, meets the Ecco the dolphin

My guess is an Atari themed subscription box.

Sega-Mundo Jacket Patches Tac/Scan (awesome) 200k, (Sega-Mundo) 300k Sub-Scan (awesome) 30k, (Sega-Mundo) 70k

NintendoAge has a very active Atari high score board and discussion thread.

Another method that occured to me.. is player graphics can slide along walls if you convert their positions to playfield pixel coordinates... maybe you could make a playfield graphic in a circle shape and hide it by making it the same color as the background.

E.T. would have been much less maligned if he had just put E.T. on solid ground after he got out of the pit. Having him still hovering over the pit when the screen changes and having you fall back in if you continue pushing up is what caused 99% of the frustration people had.

I had a Frogger board game as a kid, and it was great!

Kirk Isreal also has a good tutorial. http://alienbill.com/2600/101/ I found his code to be very well documented for a newbie to understand. I was going through his "thin red line" code today and was able to add a few lines to get a second missile moving in the opposite direction with a different speed and color. I was quite proud I could figure it out.

Bought a set of patches from him. They are awesome. Thanks!

Bought a box of games from him. Very good experience!

Thanks!

(21x60)+(7x80)+100+(2x800)=3520. I know for a fact you can get more than that in wave 1. Quoting the instructions doesn't help me since I was already reading them.

Can anyone tell me what the score for a perfect wave one in Galaxian is? I think its 4000, but I haven't been able to do it yet, so I'm not sure. I tried to figure it out with a calculator based on the number of enemies and the scores the manual says you get, but I came up with 3,520 and I know thats not right because I've gotten 3,700 before (and that's including a couple mistakenly destroyed formation ships)

I try to play games on emulator before I buy to see what I will enjoy playing.. I don't just grab a game because I don't already have it.

um, I DID create a mockup screenshot and a somewhat concrete idea of the gameplay. Also, I didn't ask anyone to code this for me.

Here's my concept for a game: it would be somewhat of a cross between Room of Doom and Pressure Cooker. Monsters would be made of up to 4 various colors and you would have to collect a corresponding string of colored energy balls (which are flying across the room) in order for your shot to kill it. Some of the energy balls (the white ones) can hurt you and must be dodged.

I don't think I can play pong because the paddles are too close to the edge of the screen and my TV's overscan cuts them off.

Frostbite and Robot Tank I earned patch qualifying scores.

I'm definitely interested, but I can't decide if I want to get the standard or right side configuration
