  1. I’m actually satisfied with the completed product. . . cart., thing., game., toy, hack, retro-thingie....whatever... a) we get to be the Doggie, b) and save the owner ‘Louie’ (who’s quite a bit of a useless, sorry loney-dorky-prat, right?) c) - yes; it all becomes more like a TV-network cartoon [or more like Sonic than Mario . . . ahem], and silly (up to the level of imbecile) story, silly mission, silly stuff ending on a note of furriness, harmonity, hilarity or pure, stark horror... ( «sawed» - thats like ... who the heck wrote this script??? is it a pure ‘R’ rated game?? ) - be the furry, cute animal...trying to resque its owner, [rather than ‘the atari-dork trying to save some dog’] ... or I just say lots of crappy stuff since I think the Dog ‘Scraps’ could or would be a better ‘mascot’ for any system not in sales, not in the-stores anymore, than ‘Louie - the dork-of-dorks of scrapyard-keepers’ - even if I’m like 3 decades too late 🐾 🐾
  2. @gambler172 you have been our most steady level-designer and is our man on game-set-up... What grfx, do you feel, you need next?
  3. @nosweargamer I would be cool if you did a presentation of the most striking differences between the Atari 2600, Atari 7800, and the in-the middle-systems: Atari400/800/XL; which games runs/performed 1:1 on platforms like A5200 or updated versions of older games, which games feels utterly fresh...? Which games could work very well with analogue-controller, and vice versa...
  4. Ok - lets reset and cut through: I @Giles N and @gambler172 are still interested in doing a hack, that’d hopefully will look and have the feel of a new game... ...none of can do programming, but we a) create some grfx, b ) hack it into established engines, c) work with layout to make it all feel ‘novel’, hoping to use music by @Synthpopalooza, and wecoming all constructive inputs...
  5. Please do post both a) with normal number of lives b) with infinite number of lives, , if you have 2 different versions as to this respect...
  6. So, what’s the exact link to the latest version then? Please post, 🙂 — The wife taking down that cord; some signal !!
  7. @KevinMos3 Are you planning an update for Scraps-hack anytime soon (fixing the enter-sprite etc), or are you finished with the project for a quite a while?
  8. I like the yellow text better...
  9. Where do you get the necessary ‘images’ for NTSC-modes for the A7800?
  10. In case someone missed out on the 80’ies:

      Pretty sure I saw this as the second half of a double feature which started with Revenge of the Ninja!

      That sounds like a realistic scenario from the 80ies...

  11. - whichever way the programming-people & 7800-music-folks decide to take this, - the Delta Force Theme is really worth a listening-through or two...
  12. Cool, but - still - listen to this , I mean purely as to what creates musical intensity of action...:
  13. Thanks! The Laptop stationed at my place, is windows, so I’ll try the bupsystem...!
  14. @Jaden (JRH) Any progress?? If we could get (the precise) codes for correct use of colors for sprites, we’d be comin’ a long way here... — All good to you, G. ... in collaboartion ...
  15. @Jinks Except for running from stincky stages, are you into doin’ - grfx - sound effects - music - level/tile-set-up - programming - program-testing - overall-game-design ... for anything within the 8-bit paradigms...?
  16. ... but ... ... Pac-Town, Pac-Maze, Pac-Forest/wilderness & Pac-Castle... could become, - if done right - , really cool...
  17. A shit-world would be boring; I mean 8 stages of brown and stincky stages....?
  18. It could be: 1) Pac-town land 2) Pac-Forest land 3) Pac-Maze land 4) Pac-Castle land — feedback, ideas ‘n input are all welcome...
  19. @Jaden (JRH) How you’re doin’ buddy? 😊 Would like, - if time and social context permits -, to see some ‘takes’ or ‘demos’ of how you’d set up a PacWorld Level... colors, tiles, enemies an’ all...
  20. @KevinMos3 You seem to be the 7800-super-hack-guy around here; so I’ll ask you - never mind the time -, could the ‘Scraps-Dog’-hack be completed to include: a) hardware-switch between normal amount of lifes vs infinte life mode (using port 1 or 2), b) getting the walk-on layer of tiles in the Sewer-levels to be common greys, not color-cycling brownish...? — Answer when time and energy allows; its all for fun & recreation!
  21. ... sooner or later I’ll get the ‘Evercade’.

     

    Anyone here who’ve got it?

     

    Opinions?

     

    1-10 what would you rate it?

    1. GoldLeader

      GoldLeader

      I don't have one,

       

      Sorry to answer,  But I could see myself getting one someday too...So I'm curious too, if anyone got theirs yet...

    2. Giles N

      Giles N

      ... I’ll probably get all-of-it, when the Q3 Lynx games are released...

       

  22. Please produce 3000-5000 of these... ( or at least 300-500 for the 5200 hardcore-core of gamers/users/buyers )
  23. We need concepts for 4 different Worlds... Pac-Land inspiration is cool, we’ll add it, include it, but we need more ... a Maze-World could be sorta cool...
  24. To U.S.-citizens: are they gonna send up the astronauts to ISS tomorrow or later...?

     

    (just curious)

      On the one hand - Jupiters storm-centers only changes every 30-100 years or so...

       

      ... on the other hand... considering the general weather on Jupiter... I hope Florida is somewhat better off . . .  but they have my sympathy...

    2. Giles N

      Giles N

      ... anyway... they’re not off to like ... Jupiter ... but to an advanced personel-carrying Satellite...

       

      ... Jupiters ‘wheather’ is so ‘bad’ nothing on Earth can remotely compare ... anything on Earth is 100 000 times more stable and predictable...

      ... anyway... I pray them good-speed whenever the launch, and good research  &  serenity in Space   to follow  !!
