A Closer Look: Dungeon

[gamerz]

This week StanJr is giving us a strategy guide for the homebrew Atari 2600 game Dungeon.

Click here for a great read, and all the info you need to play Dungeon.

This is awesome. Good job, Stan!

I'd love feedback on this as I am curious to see if the information is all consistent. I played the game through about 100 times just to make sure that the data was consistent on my end, but I'm curious to see if it is consistent with what you people out there are finding.

[gamerz]

Glad you are liking it so far, please keep the feedback rolling.

Nice review. I personally own my own copy of Dungeon and would agree with you that it's a fun and exciting game. I'm sure for those who don't own this cartridge yet, after reading your review, they'll want to buy it.

I'd love feedback on this . . .

I have one bit of feedback. I have a pretty fast connection and that game artwork took about 25 years to load. Instead of resizing a huge image with HTML, it's better to resize it with your favorite image editing software.

Web design comments aside, this looks great! Good job detailing this fine game.

 

Did you do screen captures, or run from emulator?

I did compress it first, I will work on getting it to load faster.

I would also use a smaller image--you can take one from the store here:

Click on the "Photos" tab, although you can also use the main image at the top of the page, which you can click on for a larger view. If you could include a link to the store as well, that would be great.

 

Thanks,

I did just that, thanks Al. I also used one on my home page with a link to the store.

I took screenshots from Stella and then cropped.

Proud owner of this game as well. This game has easily gotten the most play on my 2600 out of any other game in the last few years.

Usually I will pop a game in (like Tunnel Runner, Yar's Revenge, etc.) and play for a bit out of nostalgia or for some quick fun.

 

Dungeon is making me play the 2600 again like I did when I was a kid. It's brilliant!

Would be great to see people enter some reviews in the store here:

I own the game and it is amazing. The poster is great too. This is one of the better homebrews to come out, and I recommend it to any fan of dungeon crawlers. It is quality products such as these that really show how amazing the 2600 really is. After thrity two years, the 2600 is still demonstrating how diverse it really is. Props to all people involved with this product and its release, for that I am very grateful.

Fantastic, glad you are enjoying the game as well as delivery. It'd also be great if people could add reviews of the poster, as I added it as a separate product in the store:

It's only $5 with the game, which isn't bad for a nice double-sided poster like this (at least in the quantity it was printed in). Those that bought the game early got a great deal by having the poster included free.

I was one of those that bought the game early and yes, the poster is really nice quality too. I'll be sure to add a review as well.

If you have not read the Closer Look yet concerning Dungeon, you should, its a good read and may just sway you into buying this game.

[gamerz]

I hope everyone that read this enjoyed it, and hope it helped anyone who owns the game.

I couldn't stand it any longer and ordered my copy.

 

I am not a big home brew collector, but this looked too good to pass up.
