joeybastard Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Made it to the stage after the joysticks last night. How do you paint those truck things? They have to be painted three seperate times? Pay attention to the screens between rounds. They will show you the correct order you need to paint things in if order is required.

Yeah the some screens will will have 1 2 with the colors to show you the order. Do you ever have to paint anything 3 colors?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kisrael Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 Has this game dropped off the face of the earth? Or at least AtariAge? It doesn't seem to show up in the store ("of course"?) but not the index of Atari games here, or the review link that Thomas posted... all I could find was an external review, http://www.thebbps.com/blog/2007/01/28/ata...oyshop-trouble/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get, even if don't admire, the limited release thing. I get, even if REALLY dislike, the lack of a free .bin download. (I know Al has encouraged the free .bin in the past) I DON'T get why it doesn't get a page on http://www.atariage.com/software_list.html Edited February 10, 2007 by kisrael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kisrael Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 ok, thanks, I misinterpreted the situation. I thought given the cool, limited time (and hopefully business driving!) nature of the cart, it was being extra-exclusivized. Which would be a shame, because it seems like a real tour de force.

MacbthPSW Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 Thanks. So how far did you get (the game does continue into January, you know). Haha, I didn't know that My wife was (impatiently?) waiting for me to help put some of the kids to bed, while a bunch of the kids were watching my latest attempt after getting into the December 20s frequently. Finally got through the 23rd and 24th (I think the 23rd is the tougher of the two), watched the Dec. 25th screen, figured I had finished it and turned it off without even hitting fire I got playing it again last night and this morning, and got to January 9th with a score of 40,632. And have you looked at the riddle (don't spoil the answer). I looked, but haven't figured it out yet. I'm not too quick with that sort of thing.

MacbthPSW Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 Anybody else getting carpal tunnel or arthritic pain in your hands from playing this game? Maybe I'm so focused on the game that I'm gripping the Atari joystick a bit too tightly. I've had all sorts of pain playing this game, and have kept switching joysticks to try to help (instead of just taking a break, yes, I've been addicted). I think it's because the fire button is almost always held down, at least the way I play it is; my left hand was cramping big time once I'm 15+ levels in. I switched from my Tac-II to a Wico bat handle and that helped a bit. I wonder if the button function should have been inverted? Just press the button to slow down and *not* paint? Anyway, great game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Player Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 I got my copy of Toyshop Trouble in the mail today. Wow what a great game is about all I can say. I've only played a few games (I did get 4 other games with my Atari Age order) so I only made it to Decebmber 10th. It was also the last game I played out of all that received. The game play does remind me of Pressure Cooker but I think TT gets more frantic sooner. Kudos to everyone involved in making the game.

Big Player Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 Don't we need to have updated emulators to run the Toyshop Trouble ROM? Or have they been updated already? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 Either the emulators or the ROM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Player Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 Either the emulators or the ROM. I guess it would be easier to modify the ROM. How did you test the game while it was being developed? I'm guessing someone customized one of the emulators? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Nathan Strum Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Yes, but also the ROM was built using two different bankswitching schemes (since we also needed to be able to test it on Kroko Carts). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE146 Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 what's toyshop trouble? Toyshop Trouble First I've heard of this game as well. The link doesn't work. Any screenshots or summary? What the heck is this mystery game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there will be a binary, but by now not everybody even got his cart. Just be patient. What he said. And like I said... sorry for jumping the gun a bit on that. I saw the lack of listing, lack of catalog page, and talk of excusivity, put 2 and 2 together and got a kind of funny underlined heart shape. (one of the 2s got turned around, you see.)

Big Player Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Toyshop Trouble is not only brilliant, it's addictive as well. I'm not sure how much time I spent playing the game today, but I almost missed going to the gym today because it closes at 5 PM. I've made it up to second day with the monster trucks. Dec. 15th or 16th? I noticed on the title page between the levels that the numbers disappeared. Does that mean that you don't have to paint them in order the second time around? I didn't want to try it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed on the title page between the levels that the numbers disappeared. Does that mean that you don't have to paint them in order the second time around? I didn't want to try it. Most of the two-color toys are associated with two levels. On the first of these, the trophy-case page will show the two separate colors needed to paint the toy; on the second, it will simply show the toy already painted. This provides a means of visually distinguishing the two levels; further, the fact that the player cleared the first screen suggests that the proper colors are already known.
