    I think the screaming guy is one of the funniest animated sprites on the Atari. It's like, I wanna let him fry for being such a wussy and not jumping out of the window when he was on the bottom floor. DUMB WUSSY BOY!!! AAAAAAAAHAHAHHAHAh! WHAT A MORON-FREAK-DWEEBIE!

     

    Oops. I forgot the lithium this morning.

    Hmm, i kinda like this game. It might be a little more interesting if the people jumped out of windows when the flames got to them - if it had an alternating second level that played like Kaboom, and you had to catch the falling people on one of those firemen's net thingies. :lolblue:

     

    No, seriously though, I don't think that this game is all that bad. In fact, I think I feel just inspired enough to go it a session.

     

    Maybe a cool hack for this would be for the timer to be reversed so that you have to save the man before he dies within the flames. Also, I think that it would be more interesting if the water supply was more limited - making the player rely more on ladder saves while flames are still rising.

     

    Sorry. I go bla bla bla. :-D

    i don't know that they are any better than what you have already... but it's an entry. :-) maybe more later if I find some free time.

     

    [edit]

    changed "lion" to "tiger" because it looks more like that... or a cat or something. ha.

     

    added ammo sprite.

    [edit2]

    changed radio antenna. This was Stan's idea, so this can be an entry for him. :-) @Stan - you're right, it does look a bit better.

    It needs an ending or something though.

     

    Hmm, sometimes I think endings are overrated. I've seen too many times where someone will play a game till they "beat" it, and then never pick it up again.

     

    I think that varying game over screens based on score could lend itself well to Atari games. While full screen graphics would probably bulk up a game too much, I like the idea of being given a title based on how well you did during the game, and maybe a small nifty graphic to accompany that title. ie... I'd like to see a version of Sprint or Indy500 that calls you a granny driver if you drive poorly during the game (if I remember right, Sprint at the arcade did this).

     

    A nice ending to a very good game is always nice though. I expect that the ending to something like Thrust is VERY rewarding, and couldn't possibly hurt the replay value of the game... that is if you ever get good enough to finish it (which I'd say about 99.9999% of us won't). LOL!

     

    Back on topic... I only discovered Moonsweeper about 2 years ago, but it is a favorite of mine. I have yet to find a copy out in the wild. Maybe I'll have to start watching eBay. I'd love to play it on a real console. 8)

    I don't ever bump in pinball games either. I just can't get a grasp on the control of it in a video pinball game... it never seems to help. On a real pinball machine, I always end up TILT'ing the machine. I just avoid bumping altogether and save myself some quarters.

     

    A professional bike racer might shave his whole body and wear skintight clothing for that extra edge, but I don't want or need to do that to enjoy a nice bike ride.

     

    Um, what's fun about bike riding if you don't shave your body and wear skin tight clothes?!

     

    :? :ponder: :D

    I really stink at this game, but I still think it's tons of fun. I'd almost forgotten about it. I'm going to chuck it in right now! Maybe I can beat it too? Eh, maybe not. I'd like to be able say that I finished another Atari game besides Asteroids. :-)

    As promised, I just tried Midnight Magic with the paddles hooked through the footpedal. Verdict: This changes the gameplay drastically... I increased my score by almost double on my first ball! The paddle buttons already take on the left & right input. All you need to program is DOWN to a pedal, and FIRE to another pedal. I only had to change the footpedal from my current Thrust configuration by one button (yellow pedal controlling the fire button so I could shoot the ball). Yah, it's a bit odd using your feet to use the plunger, but the main gameplay is much better. :-) If anyone has the hardware, I suggest you try it... it rocks! :D

     

    BTW... Do the Apple paddles look as weird as the ones in the painting do? They look disproportional to eachother.

     

    :?

    I bought it and played it, but I was moving on to the NES and playing Commodore 64 games, so compared to those, even as good as Midnight Magic was, it just wasn't that big of a deal.

     

    I think that Midnight Magic woops Nintendo Pinball's ARSE. Although, I'm not sure what other pinball games were released for the NES.

     

    I wonder if it would be possible to hack these games to use the cool control style of Bumper Bash.. i.e to use the 2 paddle buttons to control the flippers (which obviously I prefer over using a JOYSTICK to controll pinball)

     

    Which brings up an interesting question... why does the box art show the game being played with 2 paddles? Maybe the code was changed at the last second to support a more standard controller? Maybe a good hacker could uncover the original commented out code (if it exists), or as NE146 & sku_u mentioned... hack the ROM to use the paddles. I've noticed that when the paddles are plugged in, they do in fact control the flippers, but I've found no way to pull the plunger and shoot the ball.

     

    :? ?!?

     

    I'm thinking about trying it through the footpedal controller - using a pedal to pull the plunger. I'll post the result later.

    This is a reminder for anyone who posts a link or a zipfile of Ebivision games into this thread, Albert and Alex have been in negotiations with them to sell their products in the store.  

     

    Please don't !

     

    Is this why for this? :

    I really hope AA eventually gets authorization to sell these... I do wish that I could preview the games first though... I only collect games that I really like a lot.

     

    P.S. I won't tell if anyone PM's me with the ROMs! LOL! :-D

    It is interesting that this thread would appear on a night when I just spent about 3 hours playing the greatest pinball game to ever appear on any system! :-)

     

    Midnight Magic ROCKS my world, baby. Yesterday I finally received my boxed copy that I bought off of eBay. I love it - so addictive.

     

    Video Pinball has never done it for me. I don't even own a copy anymore... I gave it away.

     

    Bumper Bash is just interesting enough that I may persue it - I've only played it on an emulator - first time after reading this post. As of now, I still stand my ground with Midnight Magic. It's so great when you bash out all of the top cards and the machine goes into psychadelic mode. :-)

     

    I was thinking that it would be cool to hack Midnight Magic so that it is in psychadelic mode permanently... it may cause some to go into epileptic fits, or others to have flashbacks of vietnam.

     

    *ahem* I digress

     

    Midnight Magic - all the way, baby! Oh, and by the way... the fork wasn't included... :-(
