+johnnywc #1 Posted January 13, 2007 Hello all, Just got this game last night and it's a blast to play! Really recreates the feel of the original handheld. Excellent job to all involved and here's hoping that BLiP Football 2 is in the works! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Excellent job to all involved and here's hoping that BLiP Football 2 is in the works! Thanks. I ordered it and only put it in to make sure it works. I would kill for Basketball, Head To Head Baseball, Merlin or PB's Wildfire Pinball! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Nathan Strum #7 Posted January 17, 2007 I plan to order it, since I think it's a great idea. I'd also love to see Auto Race given this treatment. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diggs130 #8 Posted January 17, 2007 I plan to order it, since I think it's a great idea. I'd also love to see Auto Race given this treatment. Same here and I think that auto race would be awesome also! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
edman87k5 #9 Posted January 18, 2007 I -my mom- had the original, but it crapped out 10 or so years ago. About 2 weeks ago I found one of the 2000 releases for $.79 at the thrift store and had to have it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
supercat #10 Posted January 18, 2007 I would kill for ... Merlin ... My wife was sure excited when she got hers as a kid. The movie's a little out of focus, but even before she opened the box you could tell it was what she wanted. ...or PB's Wildfire Pinball! Wonder if Garry Kitchen has a copy of the code anywhere? Probably not, but it'd be interesting if he did. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord Thag #11 Posted January 18, 2007 I played it at NWCGE a couple of years ago. It was pretty fun. I still plan on getting it when I have the time and money. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
djmips #12 Posted January 18, 2007 Hey thanks, it's based on LEDhead by Peter Hirschberg and so he should get some recognition. He helped me design out the game (IE the reverse engineering) and the state machine layout. Check out his website www.peterhirschberg.com/handheld/ledhead/. Vdub Bob M. did the graphics, graphics kernel and music driver. Bob's bro HeckYesHeDid the music. I pulled all of this together with some help from Manuel R. and Thomas J, Fred Q. and John P. and the others of the Atariage homebrew boards and Stella although they probably didn't realize this. There was certainly a lot of work from me as well in the 6502 game code and pulling all of this together including the title screen based on the artwork of Dave Exton. I also did the sound effects. Albert helped produce the game, the driving force to get a polished version done and all of the production side work. Dave Exton did the label and manual. Nice! Rick W form NWCGE did some pretty crucial testing. Hats off to the entire NWCGE crew including Lee and Hans and a shoutout to Layne. So it was really a very collaborative effort. I am probably not going to work on a sequel right now or another LED game right now. I have a few other projects that I'm going to get moving on now that this is in the can. I've got a sound project I'm experimenting with and another game project. - David Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fire!fire! #13 Posted January 19, 2007 I bought Blip but I have to play each game for a few days and it hasn't made it to the console yet. I already can tell it is going to be good! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dauber #14 Posted February 8, 2007 Just wondering....the store lists this game as a 2-player game....does it have a one-player mode??? If it does, I'm so getting it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
djmips #15 Posted February 8, 2007 Just wondering....the store lists this game as a 2-player game....does it have a one-player mode??? If it does, I'm so getting it! Well not really, but I, like millions of people who played the original would just compete as both teams. A bit strange actually. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Goochman #16 Posted February 9, 2007 I started with this and then found the LEDHead - talk about memories - I forgot about Hockey, Soccer and Basketball! LEDHead has them all! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vic George 2K3 #17 Posted February 9, 2007 I think I had a Tomy missile-launcher electronic game from the late 1970s before I got the Fabulous Fred light-up multi-game unit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jboypacman #18 Posted February 9, 2007 My mom got me a Auto Race hand-held when i was a kid.It was one of the few things that i got from her that was cool(that and thoses stack of comics she would drop off to me every month).I think seeing this game on the 2600 would be a blast.

sandmountainslim #19 Posted February 24, 2013 Old thread BUT how do you KICK in blip football? I can't figure out how to activate the kick function. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
djmips #20 Posted February 24, 2013 (edited) On 4th down you may choose to kick. Hold Joystick right to display your down and press FIRE to punt or kick a field goal. The field goal is automatic if kick it far enough. Edited February 24, 2013 by djmips Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MIKE5200 #21 Posted February 25, 2013 I plan to order it, since I think it's a great idea. I'd also love to see Auto Race given this treatment. Heck, I use to have one, Played the hell out of it. Thanks for posting it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nognir #22 Posted February 26, 2013 I bought the game when it was released but I didn't get into it. Maybe because I don't know the original handheld. Are there any tutorials or something to easily get started? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
