Another update at Planet Atari!

 

We have a small special about P.I.T.S. (Portable Information Training System) for the Lynx online.

 

It is a program coded by Lars Baumstark & Bastian Schick for students of the driving school to prepare for the german test in driving school. It is only available in German but I think also the pics and so would be interesting for you

 

Enjoy!

[HSC Season 4 Week 69: Kool Aid Man]

cool game, but I'm way too bad for this

 

19300

 

EDIT:

getting slightly better

 

29300

[Gosub]

could it be that the game isn't compatible with a PAL Atari 7800?

I tried to play it, but it doesn't work..

[Planet Atari Update Thread]

Again some news here!

 

We have added three brand new gameplay videos to the site:

 

Pinball Fantasies

Pitfall - The Mayan Adventure

Skyhammer

 

Hope you enjoy them!

[Planet Atari Update Thread]

There's another new review online. This time for the Atari Lynx. It's Pac Land!

[My Channel F Web pages are up]

I only have a question here..

 

Is Channel F programming harder than programming the Atari 2600?

I downloaded the development manual from the VESWiki but I haven't read anything yet ^^

[CANCELED October Salem Frost Cart Release]

I'd love to see Jaws on Cart

[Online Atari 2600 Label Maker : Now with Silver Labels]

Sorry I was just bored

 

[Lead]

how are the chances that we can get this game on cart?

I would say 100% as soon as it is 100% finished.

 

I hope so!

[Lead]

how are the chances that we can get this game on cart? Al?

[Action RPG Game - MAUS LAB]

Or, if you can't show any screenshots, at least show us the sprites you've received?

 

"Like Dragon Quest and Phantasy Star" isn't very specific. Is this warm and cartoonish like the first, or sleek and shiny like the second?

 

I think he meant "Like Dragon Quest and Phantasy Star" in the way the gameplay should be. Surely an own graphical style should be better and more recognizable than re-doing some graphical style from another game.

 

But I understand your point in that way that you need to know in which direction Mausboy wants the graphics to be.

[Interview with Rob Fulop on Planet Atari now online!]

Thanks! Indeed it should be happen and not happy. I already fixed it.

 

It was an online made interview, unfortunately I wasn't able to meet him myself.

[HSC Season 4 Week 68: Threshold]

Is it me or does this game have dodgy collision detection?

 

I also thought of this in my first game ^^

 

so here's my first contribution to this entry:

 

43.690

 

 

EDIT:

 

2nd attampt and a far better score:

 

 

65.600

[Interview with Rob Fulop on Planet Atari now online!]

I think the topic says it all

 

Like mentioned in the Planet Atari Update Thread I made a Interview with Rob Fulop, who made such great games like Demon Attack and Cosmic Ark. We also feature this Interview both in English and German, so all of you can actually read it.

Here is the Link for it:

[More 7800 Beef Drops Available!]

damn. I need to wait till monday until I have some money to order

Hope that there will still be one available...

[GoSub 2]

What about some sort of a story twist for part 2?

 

My idea:

 

The octopus grabbed your treasure and you're in charge to get it back. The octopus (which holds the treasure) is moviing through the maze and you have to shoot him with (for example) 8 torpedos within a time limit. If you can get the treasure in time you get to the next level.

 

So the game has the elements of part 1, but is different in the end.

Just an idea what I had ^^

[2600 in New Music Video]

omg this is the singer of Savage Garden right?

I thought he doesn't make music anymore. OK the song is not so good but the appearance of the VCS is very nice

[Planet Atari Update Thread]

Oops I forgot the recent updates:

 

Reviews of Dschungel Boy (aka Tom Boy) and Pinball Fantasies are online.

 

Also expect something special to come on the weekend. Stay tuned, you won't regret it

[Action RPG Game - MAUS LAB]

Hi

This game seems to become nice.Does a bin exist?

greetings gambler172

 

I think it is actually in the designing phase, but it would be interesting to see some screenshots of it.

[ATARI 30th 8in1 Carts (IN HAND & READY TO GO!)]

JR

Great video! Have to check it later at home, because I don't have sound support here at work ^^

[Xonox 2600 double enders]

but the xonox games are not really good IMO.

I have the Ghost Manor/Spike's Peak Double Ender and they are not good..

[Fav Game of the Moment]

Also my all-time favorites are Berzerk and Beamrider

 

At the moment I'm playing Time Warp by Zellers for the High Score Club, but its pretty tough for me. Very challenging, but also fun!

[ATARI 30th 8in1 Carts (IN HAND & READY TO GO!)]

hmm I hope they are still available at the end of the month. If so, then I will also order one copy. At the moment I have unfortunately not enough money

 

 

Yes they will be. I will put you down for one cause I know your good for the cash. Nobody is paying at the moment just reserving there copy as I won't be taking any money from anyone untill I'm ready to dish out the carts.

 

Great!

Thank you very much!
