I dont believe that you would post this without discussing it with him first. Since he is a member here also, surely he could have posted his auction himself? Or maybe he couldn't try to deceive buyers with his elusive "white box" anymore, because he has been informed, but you could.....

Are you wearing your tin foil hat again? We emailed a few times but I don't know him that well to know that he is a member of this forum. I was just trying to help out, also I did not knew the back of the red box is white with a picture on it. Most of the times the back of an Atari game box consists of mostly screenshots and text.

Ok, small world, nevermind then.. :sleep:

Here is more info about the game Zzyzzyxx: http://www.klov.com/game_detail.php?letter=Z&game_id=10547

I started on a new site called PSPImages.net.

At PSPImages people can choose from many wallpapers to download and use on their PSP, the images have a special size which the PSP requires (480x272).

Also there is a forum and I'll update it once in a while with related news articles, its still in its early days but its already got around 300 wallpapers online.

nice

Are they gonna re-release ET for the PS3 and XBOX 360 ??

October 6, 2005

What broswer (and version) are you using? I don't get this at all under the IE 6.0 and Netscape 7.2.

942628[/snapback]

I use Netscape 8.0 or IE with all the packs, whatever that is. At least some of you are seeing it. This piggy bank horned animal is what I get on the bottom of the auction page instead of the games. I have no idea why.

Your probally the guy selling those carts aren't you :roll:

October 3, 2005

I'll play around with it later to see if I can get collision detection working well enough to be able to shoot the invaders.

941419[/snapback]

Wasn't too hard.

Here's the same demo except you can shoot the invaders.

Wow, excellent!

You used the 2nd missile and the ball? common tel us

October 2, 2005

Pretty nice to play with and handy.

October 2, 2005

Yeah, the tank made of two missiles won't work. So I tried being more creative than that. I did find another way.

I know also tried making a tank with the missiles but no succes

I whipped up this demo. It uses the standard bB kernel with no mods. It's got its own limitations (everything is the same color) but there's no flicker.

Without cheating (i.e. looking at code or turning off objects in z26) can anyone guess how it works?

941278[/snapback]

Lol, I gues you used pfpixel for the tank plus with a missile on it, pretty smart! Seems this way it will be possible because now player0 and 1 can be used for the sprites, great!

October 1, 2005

Well I found some time to play with it but I can't seem to get rid of that flickering so if anyone wants to continue with this project of making the first game made with bB that has around 37 sprites onscreen be my guest..

Here's the code:

And the bin:

Pretty cool, wonder for how much they go.

Never seen a lab loaner here in NL

So, is there a link for this PAL guide yet? Sorry, I didn't feel like looking through all 13 pages for it.

Yes there is: http://www.retroreview.com/paldatabase/Index.php

Have fun!

Wow, pretty cool, i was looking for a PAL rarity guide since AA doesnt list many PAL carts and there it is all along. Great work!

September 20, 2005

Ok nevermind I did not know that Hozer sold these carts. Really should have read the translation from German to English with google first.

"Quadrun of Hozer video Games. The original Quadrun of Atari gave it only over the fan club and is extremely rare. Here I offer an affordable version of Hozer. The play is natural correct. The condition of the two stickers is good. The dispatch takes place as stably packed and insured package. No warranty, cancelling, conversion, money back, etc. there private sales. The dispatch takes place on risk of the buyer. A self-service is naturally possible. I answer questions gladly. For all further I refer to my me side."

Figured at first it was real with a starting bid of 50..

Great translation to English. Was this done by google? How can I do this?

935057[/snapback]

Just check out this page: http://www.google.com/language_tools?hl=en

Also http://world.altavista.com is very good in translating.

Be nice, everybody is new to this at some point. I remember I once made a fuss at how Lochjaw went for like $400 on Goodwill and how it was just a cheap knockoff of Shark Attack. icon_dunce.gif

Thanks

Is Quadron some kind of rare prototype? I've never heard of this one.

Spelling errors are more common in PAL countries

That's actually a reasonable price for Lemmings. It was one of the last games released by Atari for the Lynx and is certainly one of the best, so it has the double allure of low production numbers and high playability. Lemmings always seems to sell around the $50USD mark on eBay, but it's actually well worth the price.

BTW, all Lynx games are region-free (e.g. no "NTSC" or "PAL" versions). It does seem that it's a bit easier to obtain this title in the Netherlands and Germany than in other countries, though.

933816[/snapback]

Yes, I know its region free just said it because its seems to be such a standard answer to say well the PAL version is more common and since the Lynx is region free nobody can say that this time..oh nevermind

Also sounds to me that it seems to be easier to find them in Europe.

I found 3 auctions with this cart on the Dutch Marktplaats:

http://www.marktplaats.nl/index.php3?sref=...D%253D%26df%3D1

50 is just to much but the seller has dropped the price to 30 and thats reasonable.

September 18, 2005

Meh, cheap PAL crap.

Lemmings with a starting bid of 50 Euro

http://cgi.ebay.nl/atari-lynx-lemmings_W0Q...1QQcmdZViewItem

Also think Lemmings should have a rarity of 3 or 4 instead of 6, I frequently see the game in auctions especially here in NL and don't say oh, the pal version is much more common since it's for the lynx

Sorry about that mini Stella rant. We've just been burnt out over the past few months trying to get a new release together, and I should probably have stepped away from the computer instead of writing a reply

932526[/snapback]

Don worry, we love Stella :lust:

BTW. Does the new release have a video capture something implemented?

September 16, 2005

Anyways, what I came in here to say is... attendo, if you wanted some sprites that look as much like the arcade as possible given the limitations of what you're doing, I've made some for you. They're different sprites than any other existing SI homebrew or hack, so they'll be completely unique to your version and no one will give you any trouble about stealing their sprites. They also do something that most other hacks/etc. don't do, the top rows of invaders are the smallest, the middle rows are a bit bigger, and the bottom rows are the biggest. I've also included a new version of the ship that's proportional to the invaders. Best of luck on the game if you are going to continue with it.

932549[/snapback]

Sadly I never really played the arcade version of SI so I don't know the differences only know the 2600 SI version. What would be cool if you could select between 2600 mode and a Arcade mode in the main screen. Do you have the 0110001..etc. for the sprites?

September 14, 2005

Thanks for the tip!

I now got 36+1 'sprites' on screen, will try the rest later like improving the flicker method. So it seems it can be done, really nice.

Do you want IDE bug reports here too? About one out of every three compiles, the little window comes up and it will not let me hit Run Compile or Done or the Close button. I have to kill the whole program the hard way and try again.

Hi, I noticed a bug in the IDE which is perhaps similair to what you mentioned. When you have a program loaded and do actions>compile everything is fine *But when you have saved or loaded a sprite or playfield from or in a different directory then where the ide is located the program doesn't compile correctly anymore.

I will try to correct this as soon possible.
