Any news on the Concerto cartridge? I am eager to know the actual dev stage.
Thanks!

Maybe you could do two kind of concerto's: one with 2600 support and other without but cheaper.

I announce the definitive and final version of Drone Wars. Enjoy!

I made a little update: I added a little key delay in the game over screen so it doesn't jump to another play if you're pressing keys quickly

Hi!
I am glad to present a new game developed by me. As I know is one of the few homebrew that uses the keyboard controllers, and in this case my game uses both!
The game is technically done, but if you find bugs, report them to me in this thread. Enjoy
Plot:
QuoteYour country is under attack!
Few hours ago a terrorist cell has been spotted on a border control on your country passing explosives without limits. Intelligence says that they will do a terrorist attack on the capital, and if you lose them, it will be impossible to track them again.
You are controlling a Laser Orbital Cannon and your aim is to kill as many terrorists as you can before they escape from your radar. Good luck
Your Laser Orbital Cannon control panel is a pair of keyboard controllers that has all the coordinates of the map. Press a key when you think that an enemy is in that coordinate:
A screenshot of the game
The keys on the keyboard controllers represent a quadrant on the screen
You start with 4 lives, each live has a current status bar. You lose a portion of the status bar when a terrorist vehicle crosses the border.
When the status bar decreases to 0, you lose a live. When you lose all 4 lives, the game ends.
The screen when you lose all lives.
The initial game screen
Make sure to plug both keyboard controllers in the console jacks before starting any game.
Press the reset button once you plug the keyboard controllers in order to start the game.
Press any key from the left keyboard controller to start another game when you lose
Press the reset button on a started game to reset the current game.
There's an easter egg to find. Clue: you can find it in a similar way like in Drone Wars...
ROM FILES
PAL VERSION:
NTSC VERSION:
I highly recommend the use of real keyboards instead of using only the pc keyboard in stella for a better experience.
That's everything you need to start playing the game. Feel free to post your comments about this game!

In Warlords, for Player 1 and Player 2 it's much easier to get used to it because the player is only moving on two sides. But Player 3 and Player 4 both move the same direction as the paddle.
Maybe you could make it an option that the Color/BW switch will reverse the paddle movements of the player for their choice?
Done
Enjoy

I just got a couple minutes to try out the NTSC version on a real 4-switch 2600.
Couple things that need to be addressed:
1) My paddles are plugged into the Left port. But the game is not using the normal primary player-1 paddle. Instead, I have to use the normal secondary player-2 paddle.
2) The player moves the opposite direction that the paddle is turned. Meaning, when I turn the paddle clockwise, the player is moving counter-clockwise... and when I turn the paddle counter-clockwise the player is moving clockwise.
1) I will correct this today.
2) I dont know whats the problem, its the aim of the game, this is like warlords: you start turning correctly the character in the same direction than the paddle, but in the second side not, the same here but with the complete lap. In this game you need a bit of practice on this
Thanks for the feedback

Hi!
I am glad to present a game developed by me. I loved to do a paddle game because there are very few out there and because I think that its the only paddle game with character 360º movement.
Plot:
QuoteIt's the year 2029 and the Second Cold War has arrived. You are a soviet sentry bot that defenses the KGB headquarters in the USSR. Your aim is to kill the waves of enemy drones that want to destroy your KGB headquarters. But if you think that the building will be destroyed in a few moments don't panic, you have a panic button that can detonate a M.O.A.B. and destroy all the surrounding buildings where all the north american secret agents are controlling the drones, also destroying yourself.
In this game, move the paddle to move the soviet sentry bot and surround the central building (KGB headquarters):
You start with 10 points per drone killed, but as you kill more and more, this will grow up to 30 points per drone.
If you want to detonate the M.O.A.B with the paddle buttom, all will blow up, but you get 100 points for doing that
:
The screen when the US drones destroy your base
The screen when you push the panic button (detonation of the M.O.A.B.)
In order to start another game push the paddle 0 button
In order to restart the current game push the reset button
In order to go to the main menu push the select button
There are 2 game modes:
SINGLE PLAYER MODE (left difficulty switch in B position):
The drones will respawn automatically in one of the 4 streets
MULTIPLAYER MODE (left difficulty switch in A position)
The drones will respawn manually in one of the 4 streets by a second player controlling a joystick in the second jack selecting the street that he want
POWER-UP:
Kremlin phone: If you touch this power-up your soviet allies will block one of the streets in order to baulk the enemy drones. Also your engineers will repair as far as possible your KGB headquarters
That's everything you need to start playing the game. Feel free to post your comments about this game!

Awesome news!!, I will definitelly buy one Concerto as soon as it goes on sale. I have two questions:

Is there an official Concerto webpage like the Harmony one?
Thanks for the hard work!
