So long as it uses the bB standard kernel, it won't.

What is the price reduction amount?

What is the price reduction amount?

Cart/Manual from $30 to $25, and boxed version from $50 to $40. Original run used Melody boards, which are pretty expensive. Carts I'm building now use a newer, less expensive board.

Thanks. And I forgot to mention that if anybody finds the Easter egg, please post that you found it, but please don't post what happened or how you found it.

 

 

 

Thanks.

I found it!

I found it!

Thanks for posting. The code should be on the bB page some time this month, so it won't be a secret for much longer.

 

 

For those who don't know, Seaweed Assault is still sold in the AtariAge store. Reviews: RGCD, 8-bit Central.

I like to think the Manatee is the acquatic form of the Yars.

I like to think the Manatee is the acquatic form of the Yars.

Speaking of that, some people compared it to Yars' Revenge back when the game was new:

 

As I've said before, Seaweed Assault is a cross between Centipede and Yar's Revenge - two of the best Atari 2600 games!

 

Living ship (A Yar can fly through space, can shoot, is alive, and looks somewhat similar to the Manatee)

A Yar inspired Easter Egg.

Another Yar inspired "Easter Egg".

An object that shoots at you that can either be harmful or beneficial.

You can get stuck.

You have to dodge an object.

Pause feature.

Controlled Randomness.

Creepy sounds.

Addictive gameplay.
