Devin #1 Posted August 18, 2009 (edited) Hello all. I am pleased to announce that I have finished my first sequel to K.O. Cruiser! Woot! In "Angry Video Game Nerd K.O. Boxing", you fight the cast and characters from the hit Internet show: The Angry Video Game Nerd. AVGN KO Boxing 2009-09-06 NTSC.bin AVGN KO Boxing 2009-09-06 PAL60.bin K.O._AVGN_Manual.pdf If case you are not familiar with the show, the Angry Video Game Nerd is an Internet show based on reviewing old video games. The "nerd" is a retro gamer like us and, like us, has been aggravated playing terrible games. Often, in the past, we would buy a game (or most likely get one as a gift) only to find out it was TERRIBLE! "Back to the Future for my Nintendo? Thanks Santa! This looks great!" (10 minutes later) "This sucks!" The show combines knowledge of video games & old systems with rants so acerbic and scatological that they can cause paint to peel. In quite a few episodes, characters from the game, such as the Joker, Cowardly Lion, Bugs Bunny, etc... join in. Mike Matei, who acts in these roles, and creates the episode title art, was kind enough to draw a cover for this game. He also was helpful by giving me tips and suggestions during development. Enjoy! P.S. In this sequel, I added I added the ability to dodge punches. When your opponent is about to throw a punch, you can move left or right and dodge. If your boxer is not in danger, you will move normally. I'll update my other boxing game to use this feature.

ChrisKoopa #3 Posted August 18, 2009 i was about to post a thread about this lol AWESOME GAME! its cool to see new games for old systems :question: how did you do the fading in the credits screen? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Devin #4 Posted August 18, 2009 ... and just for fun, I created a ton of GIFs for the different boxers. These aren't animated, but they might be fun anyway. KO_AVGN_Sprites.zip Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Devin #5 Posted August 18, 2009 how did you do the fading in the credits screen? I just cycle through the shades of gray - from $00 to $0E. There isn't any fancy code. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shannon #6 Posted August 18, 2009 Hehe... Gotta check this one out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thomas Jentzsch #7 Posted August 18, 2009 I like it, except for the IMO unnecessary heaps off blood on the cover (some teeth would have done too, no?). Will this be available in the shop? BTW: Did I miss its development, or where you doing it all on you own? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cd-w #8 Posted August 18, 2009 Nice work. Will you be doing a whole series of K.O. games? Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iwan-iwanowitsch-goratschin #9 Posted August 18, 2009 Hope it will hit the shop! But wait! Did KO cruiser hit the shop??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+HammR25 #10 Posted August 18, 2009 (edited) The game uses F4 78BIOS for CC2 users. The game is lots of fun although I seem to have gotten the AVGN theme song stuck in my head because of it. I also think it would be pretty cool to see this for sale over at Cinemassacre.com Edited August 18, 2009 by HammR25 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
n.sevrette #11 Posted August 18, 2009 What a great game! I would like to buy a cartridge if some were to be released. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Devin #14 Posted August 18, 2009 Hope it will hit the shop! But wait! Did KO cruiser hit the shop??? Not yet. It's in the queue. In the meantime, I plan to use my 32k codebase to push K.O. Cruiser from 16k to 32k. The result will be a nice credits screen. I can also make some changes to the backgrounds - since I can store more than just three.

S1500 #16 Posted August 18, 2009 Thanks for actually posting screenshots for us, for those of us at work who can only conceptualize such a game in our heads. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mord #17 Posted August 18, 2009 (edited) BTW: Did I miss its development, or where you doing it all on you own? You probably missed it's development if you missed the K.O. Cruiser thread in this forum. Devin: Does the Angry Video Game Nerd know he's about to be in a 2600 game? NM. I read the opening post a bit closer and got the answer. I can see him sitting down and doing an episode reviewing himself, oddly enough. Edited August 18, 2009 by Mord Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Actually, as of last night - I have moved over all the chars from the 16k into a 32k codebase. So, I have a 32k K.O. Cruiser on my computer. I haven't taken advantage of the extra storage yet. So much room! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
