I know some of you have been waiting for THE ultimate vaporware game. I admit the pic could've been a bit better.

This thing rocks SO much! I might post more these later.

For some reason I think this is going to be a hack of Phoenix or Space Invaders.

I rather liked that option, it made single player games easier since you had two ships for double the firepower.

nice but I don't consider the game complete without the goats.

Yeah, I really can't see a reason for continuing this thread other than the free entertainment.

Okay it looks like my last post got lost. Anyway, I said that there's ways giving the objects the appearance of more than three colors. One is using programming tricks. Look at the latest build of b*nk, there are objects that appear to more than three colors. Another way is knowing a little color theory. For example, using green and red pixels together in a some sort of pattern might give an appearance of yellow color.

Thanks. I've noticed in the arcade game every rock has four colors but they all don't use the same colors. The spinners use blue, red, green, and turquoise. The octahedrons use red, green, yellow, and blue. I do it's impossible to have more than three visible colors on a sprite.

I gotta ask this, how many kinds of rocks are there in the game?

That's true, however my personal experience with such people tells me that giving them any kind of attention whether by flaming or arguing with them makes them more determined to post more of the same crap that annoys people. Anyway, I'll just look at what he's saying, it's not everyday AtariAge has a legendary 'net pest gracing it's board.

Wait a minute, you're saying this guy is annoying as the Steel Sisters aka Orochi Tigresa and Orochi Panthera?! Just search the neo-geo.com boards for more info. I think banning with extreme prejudice is the answer before he becomes a major headache for the mods. If what you're saying is true, then we're not dealing with mere garden variety troll but something far worse. As to insanity, it's difficult to tell sometimes. Sometimes they are really truly messed up in the head. It's some weird and sad call for attention.

Don't forget the heaps of pseudo intellectual crap that passes a "depth" and "meaning" in many a Japanese game.

Yeah, I've always felt game play was the heart and soul of any game. We live in a time where many current games look a lot better than the games we played in the past but some of them are sorely lacking the game play dept.

It is not about ideas it is about creativity and team work but most important the want to create. If I was in a game design feild I would be the guy who draws, scans, and the convert the sprites with the converter and insert them into the game. The programmer would be the person who creates the program that converts, scan, and the game egine itself. The musician would compose the music the This is why there is no good looking games in the west. It is just a room filled with a bunch of non inspritational dilberts who could not draw for there lives saying ME programmer me most important man can make pac-man do waka waka. Everything Pixel art computer tech guy person is best. Me big boner uga buga. If I want anybody to work my game then I will have to make my comic strip and politely ask for help to create my game in exchange for some sorta ransom like the next game will be your game to write the story but I draw for it. In the east alot of the games that is creative and really up there is a team effort and the person who the game was created by ( on pen and paper ) was not a programmer. Some might be Musicians, Graphics designers, fashions designers, and even famous actors. I mean hurray in the begining everything is bits and byte but that does not mean you need to be a scholor in programming to make a game possible. It is about a team effort to get games off the ground. You sound like you're all talk and yet doesn't have a clue what you're saying. You think that the you as an "pixel artist" should dictate how to make a game? You're saying graphics are THE most important part of a video game?! Blasphemy!

Wow, I thought it would take you alot longer to make Space Duel. Did do some work on make those spinning "fuzzy" rocks yet?

yeah, that's more doable on the 2600.

Well, since you asked, I'll tell ya. The graphics you crafted are really more suited to for an NES game than an Atari 2600 game. The pixels you're using aren't the ones used by the 2600. The pixels for that tend to be horizontal rectangles. The 2600 has an, uh, interesting way of displaying colors. A horizontal line of pixels can only have two colors. I'm sure someone that knows how the 2600 better than me can explain this in more detail.

I think it's more likely for a Zola/Championship Edition version of Ms. Pac-man for the 7800. Yes, there's ROMs for that game out there.

It's yes to both. Someone who posts here offered "Frog Feast" for sale for both systems.

Yeah, PacManPlus also mentioned that he wants to work on Space Invaders when gets done that homebrew.

If one really wants a fighting game for the 7800, hack or remake Karateka to have better controls and graphics. At least, we'll might be able to kill that damn bird.

Yeah that gives me a better idea what you're shooting for. I envision a journey through mouse holes, interiors of house, sewer pipes, etc. I see items like cheese, mouse traps, and rat poison. I would think you would have deal with poison alot but some anidote would help. I guess you can fight rats, cats, and the like.

Well, considering Space Duel was originally the sequel to Asteroids but that got put on hold in favor of Asteroids Deluxe. That does sound like logical follow-up to this project but I know you have a few more projects that you are still working on.

I suppose you have to give some details about the story. That would give us a general idea where you're going with this game.
