Andromeda Stardust Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 I'm trying the Genesis pad on a real 2600 and not getting anything different. C does nothing. 4-switch woodgrain Atari with official 3-button Sega controller: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg2600 Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Right, I saw that, that's where I got the idea from. I think holding down B when turning on system on is the way to go. I actually recall someone telling me that ages ago, and obviously forgot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 I've added 25 boxed copies of Princess Rescue to the store: Princess Rescue - Boxed 50 boxed copies will also be available at the Portland Retro Gaming Expo. I'm going to make 25 boxes available to those who previously purchased "loose" (cart and manual) copies of the game. If you're interested in a box, please send me a PM. The boxes are be $20 plus $3 shipping in the US. Outside the US I'll need to calculate shipping on a case-by-case basis. Included with the box is the box insert to hold the cartridge in place (and add additional strength to the box). Also available are Blinky Goes Up (2600), Armor Attack II (7800), Crazy Otto (7800), and Full Circle: Rocketeer (Jaguar). ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelboy Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I've added 25 boxed copies of Princess Rescue to the store: Princess Rescue - Boxed Just the news I was waiting for! I just ordered a boxed copy of Princess Rescue, along with a slew of other 2600 homebrews on the AtariAge store. I'm just sorry I couldn't add Space Rocks and Star Castle Arcade to my order.

Thomas Jentzsch Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I strongly doubt that in this case anyone would give any for you positive answer in public. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+wongojack Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 An amazing homebrew and amazing addition to the 2600 library. I played through level 1-3.The music is pretty great, and I liked the way you dealt with the vertically moving platforms (among other things). While I am the right age to have enjoyed the original, it just never really clicked for me, so I doubt I'll pursue it much more. Excellent job though.

+wongojack Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 ^^You mean you haven't played the original Super Mario Brothers?!?! I've played it quite a bit actually - just never really liked it. If I were to give the short version of why: It is too hard and to actually experience all the features of the game you have to gain access to secrets. I was simply never willing to overcome the difficulty and discover all those secrets. I think I've defeated final Bowser 1 time but the memorization in the last level was an annoyance and because I didn't know how to get 99 lives, I frequently end up dying cause I forget which pipe to go down.

Super Mario Brothers actually has a much gentler difficulty curve than most of the other classic 2D Marios. In fact many NES games released by third parties later in the NES lifespan were notoriously difficult compared to Super Mario Bros and most other first party titles. World 8-4 is not that hard to memorize; each pipe you need to take immediately follows a pit. The hammer bro near the end of 8-4 typically gave me more grief than the final Bowser fight. The Warp zones in 1-2 and 4-2 are easy to access once you know where to find them. There are also some stairs near the end of World 3-1 where you can abuse a Koopa by bouncing on it's back to gain extra lives. It's tricky to get it started but once you do it's the gravy train for free 1-UPs. Be careful though as you will have a GAME OVER if you gain more than 127 lives!!!

SoulBlazer Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Neither did I. Ever! Well, I think the fact that you're German and the NES didn't do well in mainland Europe has a lot to do with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drclaw411 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 So there is zero chance of being able to get a copy of this at this point right? Short of somehow finding somebody willing to sell their copy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
