  1. Beating Stan Jr's record Climber 5 score in January of 2005 As of yet I am still unchallenged. Wp
  2. Never heard of Entombed until you mentioned it so I fired it up on Stella and gave it a go. Good game! I liked it so well I put it in my favorites folder. Wp
  3. Stella for 2600 and don't know for other systems. I don't understand all the anti-emulator feelings. It is so much easier and convenient than using my Vader or Six Switcher and for those who like the original joystics etc they work fine on Stella with an adapter. Wp
  4. I know that Dennis was trying to prove that a very good Pac could be made with 4k and he had a success with that.....BUT if his game were 8k to solve the flicker issues it would be the PERFECT Pac Man port for the VCS. Wp
  5. Nukey did 8K Pac Man which is a major revision of the Atari version. 4K Pac Man was written by Dennis Debro and is an entirely new version programmed from scratch. Wp
  6. My guess is he is smoking Dexatrim on a pickle jar lid. What a buffoon. Hope he enjoys paying listing fees. Wp
  7. The Vader was my first system which I got in '82 and I still have it. It wasn't until I got a light sixer and four switch woody that I noticed my Vader seems to have more RF interference problems than other models. I can't even play Pac Man Arcade and a few other homebrews on the vader without lines and wiggles but they work fine on older consoles. Wp
  8. Tonight after my daughter went to her mothers house I recieved a call from her mom telling me that my baby had said something weird in the bathtub. I asked what my daughter said and she repeated the following ""Bat he flew and took everyone stuff away...a cup and a yellow key and a black key" AWESOME!! I smiled from ear to ear. Wp
  9. Color problem definately fixed! Thanks for the work! Wp
  10. Indeed! I like Stella so much that it has replaced my Vader console that I got for my Birthday in 1982 for everyday gaming. Great Job! Wp
  11. Still lovin this game! Even my 4 year old loves it. Would be nice to see it tweaked a bit so the bars are crosses. Wp
  12. I know that Atari and third companies produced 2600 games from 1977-1993 and that Edtris the very first Homebrew game was released in 1995. Was 1994 the ONLY year without a new 2600 game being offered or does anyone know of any games released in '94 that I haven't heard about. Wp
  13. Ya know patch or no.....THAT would be a great looking label whether it is a patch or not! Wp
  14. I can't understand a word you men are saying but I DO understand that it is being worked on for the next release Great job Stephen and all. Sorry for trippin' up on this and causing extra work. Wp
  15. I added a bit to the "other games" section of the Halo Series article on Wikipedia stating that the Halo 2600 game was programmed by Mr. Fries and released thru AA but it was removed by one of the WikiNazis within the hour...David Fuchs was his name but David Suchs would have been more appropriate. Wp
  16. Got it set on NTSC and using a NTSC rom. Every other game looks normal. Wp Are you sure about the settings? Check the line count (alt-L). Then use the Tab key to go to the Game Properties and check the Format on the Display tab. For instance, even if it's an NTSC ROM with about 262 lines, the Format might be set to PAL60. If the Format is set to Auto-detect, try changing it to NTSC. Michael Thanks Michael but I already did that. It is set correctly. I tried it on PAL and PAL 60 and it just made it look more strange. Wp
  17. Got it set on NTSC and using a NTSC rom. Every other game looks normal. Wp
  18. This is weird. Running Stella 3.1.2 and when I play Space Invaders Arcade or Space Invaders Vector the aliens are PINK! This didn't happen with the other versions of Stella and as far as I can doesn't occur with any other games I have played. What could be causing this? Wp
  19. I would like to see a homebrew game come out with a text label. Perhaps Fonz will do so. Wp
  20. I know this is thread necromancy but I was wondering if anyone still uses Z26? Is it still being updated? I am a Stella user myself so if anyone knows about Z26 and any supposed advantages it has then let fly! Wp
  21. Its not like in the Glory Days. Most young kids don't care about comics and many of the Old Guard like myself have gone away from the monthly titles and graphic novels and compilations only.......Amazon is the best comic store I have ever used Wp
  22. Is this even being tallied anymore? I noticed the Countmaster hasn't posted since June. Wp
  23. Atari 2600 Halo 2600 60 minutes L.E.M. 45 minutes Ms. Pac-Man 20 minutes Panky Panda 30 minutes Othello 15 minutes Adventure 15 minutes Zombie Chase 10 minutes
  24. I cherish my Superman comics about the same as my Atari stuff and I have collected both since I was a kid. I suppose my oldest/most valuable comic is Superman 38 from January of '46. I don't buy the monthlies anymore but stick with the Superman Chronicles and Showcase Presents titles. I am as retro with comics as I am video games. Wp
  25. I loved the games back in the day, but the stuff people are doing now is just amazing. --Will Absolutely! If it were 1982 and someone told me there would be games like LadyBug, KO Cruiser and your Duck Attack for the VCS I woulda thought they were smokin' Dexatrim. Absolutely amazing stuff. Wp
