Mr. Driller 2600 (mockup)

Recommended Posts

Ok, yet another mockup from me. I think this one could be done.. :) It uses 3 alternating playfield lines to create the colours, tiles of 4 x 21 size and a level view of 9 x 9 tiles. There is only vertical scrolling and the logic is less than in Boulderdash. I use both sprites with recolouring for the player sprite, a missile to the right of the screen (recoloured) for the depth display (this is optional), and a couple more players and playfield data at the bottom for a quick status display panel.

 

What do you think?

Mr. Driller is capable of being done for almost every game console that existed.

 

The game has basic gameplay.

 

Here is a little bit of gameplay video of the game:

I like the solid colours of Big Dig, but the gfx are much simplified. The problem is that there are 4 block colours and a background, so unless you try to come up with sophisticated player/missile work I had to use 3 alternating colour scanlines.

 

If we used 2 colour scanlines we could get 3 colour blocks and the 4th colour would be some kind of pattern, but I don't know if that would look too good..

 

Any one interested in this? Since I can't program the 2600, I'm just suggesting possible game ideas that people might like. :)

Well if anything, these mockups are fun to look at!!

 

Mr. Driller is a pretty fun game. Hopefully someone will do it.

They do take a bit of work though, so I doubt I will do many more of them if no one is too interested.

 

This one looks interesting. Many other ideas on my plate at the moment, though.

There's probably only a dozen active people here that could program such a game, most of which are already doing "something". Some day someone may pick it up though, so it's good to have those mockups :)

 

Regarding Mr. Driller, I actually prefer the clean look that Christopher chose, the mockup looks very busy.

I'm very interested in seeing mockups of more tiled games - I currently have a supercharger kernel/demo that can handle a scrolling, tiled display - currently 8x7 but could probably get 10x7, 8x8, or 10x8 - and I'm interested in projects for it. No promises, though. :P
