I'm trying to hack Smurf Rescue in Gargamel's Castle. Everytime i change the smurf sprite it disappears when I run the rom. Can anyone help me? Plus does anyone know where I can contact Shawn Davis Sr? He's the guy who did the Mario hack of this game. Thanks!

In today's episode I discuss first person shooter games from the 1990's. This was a whole new genre of games that is still going strong today. What is your favorite game from this genre? What was your least favorite? Did you dislike these games? Why?

In my latest episode I discuss bowling games. I decided to use the INT PBA Bowling game for the title screen. There are some great bowling games out there, probably at least one for every game system. What are your favorites? Do you think that it's time a homebrew programmer made a new bowling game for the 2600?

In my latest episode I discuss games that were not released in NTSC only in PAL. Some of these were really lost classics, others...well, the annoying music that came with some of the games was too much! What are some of your favorite PAL games? Would you have purchased them back in the day if they had been available in North America?

In my latest episode I discuss more Atari 2600 Hacks, this time featuring some of the hacks made by Scott Dayton. Of all the Atari 2600 hackers out there, he is the undisputed king. He and Dr. Clu have helped me to start work on some hacks. My first serious one is previewed at the end. If any of you would like to get it, you can find it in the sub forum Atari 2600 hacks here! Check it out and let me know what you think.

I figured as much. I'll have to wait until I get home from work as it doesn't work on my emulator. Thanks!

I can't get the little guy to move. Is anyone having trouble with this? I can get him to blow out the candles when I press the joystick to the right but that's all.

As usual, great work, John!!

Tempest, these are great. Thanks for sharing. I'm looking forward to seeing Fighter Command as well.

Jittery paddles is something that a majority of us have had to deal with. These experts on here will point you in the right direction.

I appreciate you keeping an eye out. I am bidding on the first one now. It's still got two days to go. Hope I don't get outbid!!

This is what the box would look like if it ever came out on cart.

Since before I even started my channel people have talked about Birthday Mania and how they want to play it or would like to have it. I decided to make my own version of Birthday Mania and call it "Happy Birthday". It's a hack of Air-Sea Battle. Here is what the game is about: "It's your birthday! Your best friend (or twin) and you are blowing out candles, collecting toys, gift cards, and other goodies on your birthday. This covers levels 1-12. Level 13-15: This birthday is a disaster! All you received this year were clothes (shirt and socks) and your crazy Uncle Billy got you a raincheck! Shoot the bad presents! Levels 16-18 Same as 1-12 except you're moving and so are the toys. I didn't know what to put in this one. I tried to make the sprites of you look like the top of the head in Birthday Mania. Levels 19 and up: It's a disaster! Your mom put too much yeast in the cake mix and now it's come to life and wants to ruin your party! You take on the role of the mutant cake and try to shoot all the presents and the kids! Let me know what you think. Again this is my first serious hack, so... Happy Birthday! (Air-Sea Battle Hack by Classic Gamer 74).bin

In my latest episode I discuss the nearly forgotten Fairchild Channel F. Did any of you own this console back in the day? Do you have it now? I'd like to hear about it.

Love it! Great job so far.

That's the thing, though. I've got roms from several different places, including here at AA, and all them have crashed at or around the same spot.

Oh. I see. Honestly, I would love to get one someday.

Thanks, much obliged.

Of all the CCW games for the 2600 this is the only overlay I can't find and don't own. Does anyone have one for sale? I also wouldn't mind purchasing the cart if you don't want to separate them. Let me know! Thank you.

What is a 4-port? Just wondering...

on an emulator.

Thank you

In my latest episode I discuss and profile the games of homebrew programmer Edward Smith. He has some great games and his forthcoming game Championship Golf looks to be his best work. Finally! We have a great golf game for the 2600! If any of you are programmers and would like me to show your games on my channel, please let me know!
