Bomber Hero (WIP)

[Bomber Hero (WIP)]

I wonder what this would look like with Bentley Bear as the player spite? This game is coming along very nicely. Shaping up to be a great add to the 7800 library.

If it makes it's way to the ps4 I'd buy this game for sure.

I just remember that "bigfoot" post he did for christmas like 10 years ago, other than that haven't heard anything since back when I first joined here...

 

He used to pop in from time to time. Was even a participant when the AA had it's dedicated chat function.

 

EDIT: I'd say a good 90 percent of current users have no clue who Alex is. The ol' boys do sure, but most others wouldn't have a clue.

For a re-imagined CX40 design, I'd go for 2 smaller fire buttons in a diagonal layout with the 2nd button being smaller than the first. Sorta like with some of the buttons on the original Xbox Duke. And for the ring design, I'd have actual Fujis in the 4 main position markers. And a turbo switch above the actual joystick. That way nothing gets in the way of any custom joystick couplers.

 

Build it!

Anyone talked to Alex over the last few years? Last time I talked to him was a good 3 or 4 years ago at least, maybe longer?

Ya! You should leave the AtariAge forum and go to the Audacity Forum right away!! You will never have to see another Champ or AA title mentioned ever again!

Why not a mouse? Though this could fall under trackball, any method of easily navigating a pointer on screen.

 

Point and click games like the old Sierra games would be awesome.

Someone grab those copies of Sirius and Plutos at the kind price of only $30 each. Nobody is selling them for such a good price anymore that is for sure.

Fun, I had a DDR pad working with my PS2 adapter already.

 

Keep'em coming.

 

A DDR game to go with it is a must. No controller has any use without the software to use it.

Nice work Shawn!

 

I'd really love to see a little micro switch joystick jammed in a CX 40 too..

 

I did replace the dome on the fire button with a micro switch. I've replaced all the directions and fire on other controllers in the past. I have a 3rd party "Ace" 2600 joystick I did that to a while ago. Nice and clicky..lol... This CX40's directional domes are like new so I didn't feel a need to do so on this particular controller.

Looks nice and wish Atari had come up with something like that instead of the damned CX24. Curious how the top button is secured though. It thread right into the white plastic handle or...?  

 

Threaded into the rubber boot and the button is flush to the trimmed spine inside the boot.

Hi Carl

looks good so far 😉

But i would like to see Penult on the 7800 😁

Now i am able to play Penult on a 7800.

greetings Walter

 

I agree. Penult would look WAY better on the 7800 versus the 2600. Could probably get close to the old PC version if not spot on.

[Modified CX40 With 2 Buttons For 7800 Use :)]

Thought I would share this joystick I made. I took a few odds and

ends I had sitting around to make this original Atari CX40 into

a 2 button stick for use with 7800 games too. Original button is the

left fire and the new button on top of the stick is the right fire.

 

 I replaced the original orange fire button with a red one from a 3rd party 

Archer stick so it matches the new red button I added to to the top of

the stick. Was just a little fun with random parts to make something

useful. I still have to clean up the stick as it's still a little dirty from

sitting for years. I might redo the paint or perhaps just remove

the rest of the old yellow and leave it black like the vader sticks.

For $120 I would want all the plastics for the console not just the top and bottom of the main shell.

How about a stompable mat ala the NES Power Pad?

 

DDR isn't a bad idea! There are some good ideas here as long as there are the games to go with it.

[What type of game would you come up with, that uses a controller that is not supported on the 7800?]

As for games that would need a new control scheme? How about a modern display friendly light gun for games like Chiller, Duck Hunt, Hogan's Alley or an "on rails" shooter? Something like a demake of HOTD or Umbrella Chronicles would be fun.

PRGE 2022: "Say... what's going on behind those curtains at the AA booth?"

 

He edited my post and then his own as well. Originally he mentioned "7800 Hero". I replied that it would be good to mention that he meant a Guitar Hero and not the old school favorite we all know (Hero) as that game wouldn't need a different controller.

Man I wish this game would have been completed. It's really fun.

I wonder if POKEY in volume only mode, or Covox would be useful here.

 

Nope, the game is just fine how it is.

[Retro Game Restore might sell clear US SNES shells]

It would be cool if they did the cartridge door and video\power plastics in clear as well. I understand keeping the joystick port plastics stock cause it's a little more of a pain to work with for a novice.
