Scramble is a rocker!

[thursday83]

Woweee. Not to sound like a broken record, but Bob has done it again for the 7800. Just got Scramble (cart) in the mail today, and it's better than you can imagine. It plays great and is fun as hell. I can't believe it. So awesome. Bob - make it a full time job. All of these old arcade translations are spot on awesome. Can't get enough of them. It feels better than any version of this I've ever played, and the controls are perfect. It is genuinely fantastic. Can't wait to play through it, and Bob deserves accolades for releasing another classic.

 

Everyone should own this on cart, and that pretty much goes for everything he's every put out.

 

Groovy Bee - when can we start to obtain some of your work on cartridge? Looking forward to all of these releases, and all of the XM stuff too.

 

Bob - I've said it before, and I'll say it again, you are the man. Really awesome work.

Agreed, wholeheartedly.

[+boxpressed]

Yup, lots of fun. Just finished my first game on "Normal" level -- 19,580. Couldn't get past that stupid bank of fuel tanks to get the the last level!

 

I'm using one of Golden Ax's modded NES controllers for separate fire and bomb -- works great!

Don't suppose there is any chance of him making a multi-cart with a few of his games on one cart?

[Lord Thag]

Just got mine too. Agreed, it's a great game. I think it plays slightly better than I remember the arcade playing. I also dig the different difficulty settings.

 

So yeah, par for the course I'd say

[PacManPlus]

Just saw this thread - thank you, thank you, thank you!

I appreciate the kind words - you guys are great.

 

There's going to be a High Score Contest soon for Moon Cresta, where the first 20 people to reach a certain high score will get a beautiful patch (like Activision did in the 'old days'), made by gambler172 and Marc Oberhäuser.

 

Stay Tuned.

[thursday83]

Nice. I'd like to have high score contests for all of Bob's games at some point.

[PacManPlus]

This is what the patches look like (yes, there will be a High Score Contest for SCAA at some point as well)

Aren't these beautiful?

Hat's off to gambler172 and Marc for making these.

 

... I'm thinking I should have made this a separate thread...

 

Well, I guess when I start the contest, it will be it's own thread.

Surely there are better compliments that can be paid to this game than to liken it to something that little old ladies sit on.

[Mayhem]

Oh wow, great patch. Guess I'll have to brush up my MC skills...

[gorfcadet]

Just got 93670 on Scramble! This was the first time I looped the circuit and I think I was on round four or five when I finally bit the dust. Bob, that is a damn fine game. I'd post a pic but I don't know how on an ipad. Have to email it to myself later.

 

Just realized most of my top ten 7800 games were made by Bob! Thanks again sir!

[svenski]

Kudos to Bob for being so prolific and coming out with so many great games, almost on a monthly basis of late!

[PacManPlus]

Thanks, guys

[PublicSectorTech]

Forgive my n00b ignorance, but where do we get this cart from? the URL www.pacmanplus.com does not seem to work.

[Stun Runner 87]

I don't mean to be pushy, and I know I'm fairly new to the site, but please let me in the club.

I would very much love to buy a cart of Scramble........p p p p p pleeeeeeeease Bob.

 

Actually I want to purchase every game you have put out.

 

I would feel honored to be on your list of people that are allowed to aquire your creations.......they are all simply marvelous.

 

And yes, I hope you continue to port all these classic arcade games that old people like us grew up on....there are so many classic arcade games to port to the 7800, that you will stay busy for a long time as I imagine you have so many requests to do so.

 

Keep up the good work PacManPlus....

 

I wish Bob was in charge of Atari Corp in the 1980s....they would of done soooooo much better.

[gorfcadet]

Bob usually does a set after completion of a game. Some like Pac Man Collection are available in the Atari Age store. Thats how I got Super Pac Man. I believe he said recently some of his others would be hitting the store at some point. Scramble, Rip Off, Super Circus Atari, and Moon Cresta are all great.

[gooner73]

i really want scramble and super circus atari!!!!

 

where and when can they be got from?

[PacManPlus]

Thanks guys:

 

Knee-deep in the middle of Bentley Bear, but I do believe it will be in the store soon. I appreciate the patience.

If I complete this before it's in the store I'll do another run...

 

BTW, www.pacmanplus.com was just renewed by me. I've been meaning to set it up for quite a while now, as 'PacManPlus' is my handle just about everywhere. It's only a default page ATM but I will get to it eventually.

 

thanks,

Bob

Where can I buy a copy of 7800 Scramble?

[Future Primitive]

I can only echo everyone else on these stellar arcade ports...

 

All of these games look great and I would love to buy them!

[adam242]

I just found out about this... I guess that's what I get for spending most of my time in the 8-bit and 5200 forums.

 

Scramble was one of my favorites in the arcades, and I'd like to add my voice to the chorus clamoring for a copy.. Please make another run or make it available in the AA store!

[1982VideoGames]

I'd be interested in getting a copy too.

[Stun Runner 87]

I WANT MY COPY........NOWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sportznutt38]

I would like a copy too , just found this site again and absolutely love scramble.

[mmervine]

I have to agree...another awesome game by Bob!
