    That would be fine to hold off the game, but I'd still love for there to be a sale! :)

    There's a whole slew of games waiting to be released, so it will happen sooner or later. ;)

    Al, as always, I love this site and the new games for my Stella. I am so appreciative that there are still new games coming out for the 2600. Keep up the good work and thanks. ;)

    Thanks for the kind words about Hunchy II - it is always gratifying to hear that people are enjoying my games! There are a few aspects of Hunchy 2 that could be improved (e.g. the annoying sound effects and scoring mechanism), so perhaps I will write a Hunchy III someday.

    I got Hunchy 2 quite a while ago - I am thinking it was when it was first available in the store....and I played it for DAYS - it's very addictive, and definately one of my favorite games.

    Thanks for the update, Al. The Holiday Cart is something I look forward to every year. I normally just get on this site to order games a few times a year, look for new homebrews in the making, and around Christmas to check up on the Holiday Cart.

     

    I still manage to meet new people to tell about this site. They are always amazed that there are new games for the Atari 2600. We are all so blessed.

    Hi everyone.

     

    I was looking through the AtariAge store and saw some amazing homebrewed games for many systems. Then I was thinking how difficult it might be to create ones own games for the 2600. I'm sure its more difficult than programming for todays computers and such, mostly due to the system limitations.

     

    Anyhow, I wanted to know if there was a document, or site that had information on learning to program or where to start with regards to programming the Atari 2600. Has anyone designed a training manual or book for those who may be interested in trying their luck at programming on the 2600 or any of the other Atari consoles?

     

    Thanks

    John

     

    2600 programming is not easy. I read quite a bit over the last 2 or more years on programming and did not get past the description of the scan lines. :dunce:

    I really hate that this happened to you. :sad:

     

    Not only is it crappy to spend a weekend worrying sick over being ripped off, but that's just so much money. I agree with involving the police and it is a felony so pursuing this legally hopefully will land him in jail and make his life miserable. I really hope you can get to the bank tomorrow and keep the transfer from happening. I would print this thread as backup that other people recognize the photos and take it to the bank.

     

    Also that post on this forum with the chinese charactors sucks. You know what comes around, goes around, so that bastard should be looking behind him. If he has ripped one person off, there's bound to be more. One day he'll get it back from somebody with a grudge.

    I know this is a little off-topic but I have one of those pamphlets on the contest. I haven't seen one on the AA website, but it is pretty neat. Must have been great to get in on the contest back then. I never got to play Atlantis until I was 30! :roll:

    I will never be able to pick favorites, but I can tell you what I have been playing over the last 1-2 weeks. I cycle through games and they become my favorite right then, and then it changes.

     

    In no real order so they don't get jealous:

     

    Galaxian

    Ms. PacMan

    Centipede

    Power Off!

    Threshold

     

     

    I just got Power Off! from the AA store and it's addictive. Threshold is harder to find but things come at you so fast in that game - it's a thrill to play.

     

    The other 3 speak for themselves! And the local arcade (bar) has them and I need to stay sharp! :)

    I decided to do this one on my girlfriends light sixer for practice.

     

    Nice that she let you! |icon_innocent.gif :lolblue: :lolblue:

     

     

    Now if I can only get my husband to mod one of my 4-switches! :twisted:

    I read the Gosub thread and it will be nice to see that one come out. I will certainly buy that game. Following the homebrew threads is interesting and makes me appreciate the intricacies of programming. OH and the frustrations. DANG I would like to have it with the blue cart. :twisted:
