How many of you want 5200 Tempest ported to 8-bit?
Swami replied to BIGHMW's topic in Atari 8-Bit Computers
Well, I have seen TrippleTopper run off the two guys who were making MasterPlay clones and they've never come back because he continued to push them to make something he wanted. -

Money never works because homebrewers don't do it for the money but for their own creative interests. I've tried to get something made by offering money a couple of times. They'd rather do what they want and have it be fun than get paid to do something that doesn't turn their creative crank. -

Learn to program if you want it so badly to harass programmers. No one NEEDS to program any game. It's not the end of the world. -
I tried this, but I need to find a good way to keep the controllers from rocking around that doesn’t involve a screwing in and unscrewing screws into a holder strap.

Intellivision Amico - Tommy Tallarico introduction + Q&A
Swami replied to Tommy Tallarico's topic in Intellivision Amico
I gotta say, he's taught me almost all I know about emulation and Intellivision, as well as a hundred other things like how Ping Pong and Pong are protected trademarks for Table Tennis and not just public domain Onomatopoeia. . -
So sorry to hear this, Oscar. We were all wishing for better for you all.

I’d like the full package please in dark red.

Wich type of game would you like to see on ColecoVision?
Swami replied to retroillucid's topic in CollectorVision
That’d be great. Just prefer to keep a little more balance. -

Sorry, but I think I just vomited a little in my mouth. -

Gone ugly early, though, this year, along with the Ranger.

If we already have the SNES Sydney Hunter can we substitute the Justice Beaver SNES game?

I was just remembering something this morning about TV companies planning "popscicle" type CRTs to compete with LCDs back in 2000. Somehow all the stuff that sticks out the back of the CRT would point down to make it thinner. Anyone remember that. I don't think anything like that was ever sold.

AtGames 2020 speculation thread
Swami replied to TF14's topic in AtGames Flashback and Portable Consoles
As far as the 2019 woodgrain portable, I see a used one on eBay for $70 and a new one for $150. -
My first arcade port and the power of the console
Swami replied to AnalogKid's topic in ColecoVision Programming
In the arcade version, they travel about 70% of the screen width/height, wrapping around, if necessary. It is your game, though. I should add that the wrap around can add a cheat if not compensated for. A player can get to one or two slow moving Asteroids and hide on the edge of the screen and shoot saucers by wrap around, since the saucers don’t aim by wrap around in the original arcade version. This was patched in a revision so the saucers’ could shoot at the player by wrap-around. Arcade owners were complaining about losing money on the game. -
I remember crapahute was putting together manual pdfs to include in the Collectorvision club. Is this still happening? Maybe they all have the general ColecoVision manual appearance, so there is not much to miss, but I thought it would be nice to see the artwork and, generally speaking, when you buy a rom, the instructions are included.

3. Maybe top the max speed 25% faster, since the relative playfield is smaller (in the arcade mode). 4. Regarding the small UFO, in the arcade version, it starts appearing after 10,000 points, alternating with the large UFO. After 40,000 points, only the small UFO appears. I don't know the exact point values, but I'm guessing from experience that every 10,000 points, the small saucer becomes more frequent: every third saucer after 10,000, every other saucer after 20,000, the last 2 out of three after 30,000 and the only saucer after 40,000. I've also read that after 40,000, the small saucer forces you to move or shoot quickly, because it shoots right at you if you are sitting still. I don't mean to nit-pick, I just wanted to point out some arcade qualities since one of the options is "arcade" version. I encourage creativity and variation in the 8-bit console ports, in general - it keeps the sense of nostalgia better. It's also probably more fun to make it slightly less hard compared to the arcade version, so it's not such a "coin-gobbler". -
The graphics are definitely a fun variation. It's one of the things I think is special about the ColecoVision Centipede.
