Mars mini games

[+GroovyBee]

Dude, "mini game" remember!

 

It depends on your definition of "mini" .

when it comes to relating game features to the amount of resources used, I really have no idea. I'm the intellivision equivalent of the guy that bought a new $1000 laptop last week and suspects that his youtube videos are loading slowly because his email inbox has like hundreds of emails that need to be deleted...unless he buys bigger memory cause he filing up the 500 megs the laptop came with

 

Bonus points if you can find everything wrong with that statement...lol

I'm hoping that the teaser ROM will be out by Tuesday. Both Caverns and Descent need a few more bells and whistles before I'd be happy to let them out into the wild.

[+GroovyBee]

I haven't had time to work on the teaser ROM today so it'll most likely happen towards the weekend now. If anybody has a preference as to which mini game they want in it let me know.

if only you knew how many people asked me to clean out their emails to free up space on the hard drive to speed up the internet. and it wasnt all the malware and the 5 toolbars that they got from playing online poker that caused the slowdown.

[JasonlikesINTV]

Ahhhh, toolbars. My favorite is the complimentary default Norton system scan with your daily Java update.

do want!

The game looks great! I am new to Atariage and this forum, but I am a huge Intellivision collector with all the games in there boxes except 3 ECS games. I would love to preorder 2 copies of this for my friend and myself. looking forward to it, great work!

Latest update to the invaders style game :-

 

<---- click to animate

 

There is a player ship that can move and fire and you can "kill" the oncoming Martian hordes. Next up will be to decide how they attack the player and to make sure the remaining formation always move fully to the left or right.

Looks awesome, GroovyBee!

Thanks for the compliment. Its starting to feel much more like a game and not just a concept now.

All the games are coming in under ROM budget so far so there should be space for a 4th mini game.

Walk-and-shoot monsters on the surface of Mars!! Come on!

Walk-and-shoot monsters on the surface if Mars!! Come on!

 

I'll think about it. I have an idea for another mini game (not yours) and it shouldn't take much ROM space so it could go to 5 mini games in the end .

Not me! Keeping all the games simple and fun is where this project is at.

More games just means it comes with more sets of overlays, right?

And 5 collectible box variations, I think...

Yep! Pastel shades rock .

Holy crap! This must be done. Groovy, think of four or five different covers, each one with a different featured mini game! That's a minimum five guaranteed sales to Rev and I, maybe 15-20 if we take our usual multiple copies. This is a marketing dream I'd say. Plus a crap ton of overlays to satisfy Jason's fetish. Lol!

[JasonlikesINTV]

I seriously need an overlay guy Speaking of overlay guys, I wonder how the Sears set is coming along!?

[wolfy62]

Hey, take it easy on Groovy and be thankful he is programming these games at all.

I love boxes too, but without him these games would not exist. Maybe down the road someone will make the boxes by themselves and take care of that part. till then......enjoy the new games!
