I know it's late in the contest, but I could make up a quick BMP to text conversion tool for you this weekend. Interested?
Yes!
BTW, I've extended the contest until at least Jan. 15, 2007. -
Man I am so lucky I live in a state without sales tax. I added up all the stuff and without tax it looks like you've spent $830. Wish I had $830 to spend on a PS3. Of course, I wouldn't buy a PS3, I'd buy me a Wii and Super Mario Galaxy (whenever it comes out.) I'm not a Zelda fan, and about the only other Wii title that would interest me is Wii Sports. I'm thinking about getting a used PS1. What are some good platforming titles for it?

Hi Chris
a nice maze.But it plays very easy.Some smaller walls would be good.Maybe a nice maze for the beginner levels.
Great work
greetings Walter
The way the game is set up now it's maze #7 out of 18.

Hey thats pretty cool that they have "classic"games at your GameCrazy.My friend manages one near me and he tries to get Atari games and other older games in the store but there is nobody trading any in.By the way how much was that boxed copy of BurgerTime?and what 7800 games did they have?Just wondering.Thanks.
I think BurgerTime was either $2 or $3. The 7800 (ProSystem) games I think cost a buck each. I don't remember what 7800 game(s) they had.

With the E.T./Pac-Man and "The End" mazes, I think it would be more challenging to add more walls-- for example, so the sub has to navigate between the letters, or do a sharp U-turn in the region of E.T.'s body, etc. Also, I think the treasure should be inside Pac-Man's mouth, like he's eating it.
Good ideas! I'll change the end maze and Pac-Man/ET mazes. I'll definitely make Pac-Man eating the treasure

Going to the very obscure, there's a band called Sunny Day Real Estate and they have a song called "8" on the Batman Forever soundtrack. It's not track 8, for some bizarre reason.

Hey gang, I just thought of a couple:
Prince has two - "1999" and "7"
and Smashing Pumpkins has "1979"
I also saw "Thirteen" at a record store, but it was spelled out. You'd think they'd want to save ink by naming it "13"
-
I turned 18 in 2000, and all the songs on that list are stupid.
-
I found a typo in the Phantom2/Pirate manual. Under II: Unlocking color mode, it says "HINT: The 1st tanker will appear right after then 2nd bomber." I think it should say "the 1st tanker will appear right after the 2nd bomber."
-
OK, so how would I code the following (just for an example.) I know this isn't the right syntax, but I made this just so you could understand what I'm trying to do here:
if collision(ball,pfpixel 3 10) then k=0 : pfpixel 3 10 off

Of course, Toobin' is a trademark...
Coincidentally, I was reading up on Toobin' last week. Did you know that it was an *Atari* coin-op? And Tengen-- the company that made (most? all?) the home versions, was a subsidiary of Atari.
So I wonder if Atari would allow a homebrew version of Toobin' for Atari machines?
I don't work for Atari, though. So if I were to make a game with the name Toobin', I would probably be violating the trademark thingee. How does Infogrames feel about homebrews on Atari machines?
-
I don't know if it's possible, but I'd love to make a 2600 version of Toobin' some day--
Maybe that can be my next project after GoSub. Of course, Toobin' is a trademark...I wonder if I could use Tubin'?
-
It's just me, but I like Super Princess Peach over Yoshi's Island DS. Yoshi is just over-the-top difficult in the DS version.
-
Great ideas!
- I just might have a contest.
- Right now, the left difficulty switch is used to toggle sub speeds. An H for Hard will appear throughout the regular game if the left difficulty switch is set on A.
- The computer problem you mentioned is that it died, so I had to get a new one.
Unfortunately, the bBasic codes for Space Bacon & Ima Dyma were lost, but this is sort of like a new & improved Ima Dyma. - I'll think about adding an enemy in there somewhere.
- As for AtariVox, I don't know what that is or whether bBasic programs can support it.
- And I think I will cut the music for a 2-player turn-based and/or simultaneous game. The music wasn't that good, anyway.
Thanks for the suggestions and compliments. You've given me a lot of stuff to keep me busy with this project.

You got to get this on a cart and up for sell at the AtariAge store.I know i would get a copy.
As soon as it's finished, I'll ask good ol' Al if he'll put it in the store. I don't know why he wouldn't. And then, there will be a GoSub label contest, so all you wonderful artists can enter it.
-
Thanx for the feedback, jboypacman.
Will we see it on a cart? If Albert says he'll do it and if I get more positive feedback. The game is still a work in progress.
-
I guess thats a good price.It did come with its box.Hows about its manual?
It came with a manual, too.
-
$4.95. Is that too much, or about right? All the other games were $3 a piece. The Game Crazy stores are the only places you can get NES games in my area.
-
I got Snake Rattle & Roll (with box), Yo Noid, Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, Beetlejuice and Ren & Stimpy: Buckaroos (all NES games) at Game Crazy. Still don't know about the snow yet.
-
I think it was more of a "what do you expect from a video game console made in 1977"-type thing.
-
You might want to exclude prog rock. Long songs are the norm rather than the exception. Jethro Tull thick as a brick, for instance, or a lot of Yes stuff.
So stuff like Alice's Restaurant, Disco Inferno, Madonna's "Up Down Suite", songs that aren't long just for the sake of being long? I read Wikipedia's entry of prog-rock, and there's no mention of the Alan Parsons Project (Turn of a Friendly Card, Fall of the House of Usher). Albums with long songs are hard to come by where I live. (there's only a handful of stores in my city that sell records, and it took me a while to even find Alice's Restuarant.)
-
Here's a list of the DS games I've been playing the most:
Mario Kart DS
Polarium
Yoshi's Island DS (very difficult)
Puyo Pop Fever
New Super Mario Bros.
Elf Bowling (very dorky game, but 'tis the season
)I guess Retro Atari Classics is out of the question since it was made by Infogrames.
-
Thanx for the explanation.
I didn't know that. That's why there's not that many at my local record store. -
When I saw the title, I thought "There's no dungeons in Grand Theft Auto!" Clueless as ever.

The dentist did have a little trouble pulling out the tooth where the pain is. It was coming in kinda crooked. I took an Advil and it helps a little. It only hurts when I eat or clench my teeth, which is good.
