roryjr Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 You, sir, are no longer allowed to post scores. At least until I can get above 10,000. Ok, still not above 10,000 but I did exceed 6,000 just now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iesposta Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Al, Are you using V1.02 for the carts yet? Are they programmed as they sell, or did you EEPROM burn all of them? I found 2 bugs right as they hit the store. It doesn't affect play, but, well, PM me if didn't know about the bugs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted January 2, 2015 Author Share Posted January 2, 2015 (edited) Of course Al got informed immediately. Since the bug is so minor we decided that v1.02 will be used from the next batch of carts. Edited January 2, 2015 by Thomas Jentzsch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+FujiSkunk Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Thomas, is the completed version of Three.s available for download, or will it be? I see the link for v0.92, but not anything past that. I have the cartridge now, but I wouldn't mind having a ROM for emulators as well, if that is allowed.

Thomas Jentzsch Posted January 15, 2015 Author Share Posted January 15, 2015 You can always download the full source code from the link in my blog and build the ROM yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SumerNivek Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Hi Thomas, I just received my Three.s cart today in the mail. Absolutely loving it! Strangely enough, I have an iPad but have yet to play the original Threes! I decided to try your version first and now it is making me want to play the original one. Great job on this game and keep up the good work! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+FujiSkunk Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Forgive me for being slightly off topic, but I feel compelled to brag and this seemed like the best place to do it. I just had my best game of Threes ever! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andromeda Stardust Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 This game is very different mechanically from 2048. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted December 13, 2016 Author Share Posted December 13, 2016 Definitely. 2048 becomes pretty boring and repetitive soon. Threes has that extra twist which makes the game much more challenging. You can't get really high scores without having some strategy.

enthusi Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 It is also worth noting the 'fill story' behind threes and the clones thereafter. Being homebrew people ourselves and knowing how hard original concepts really are, we should be aware of the background of this. For that alone I salute Thomas for having choses threes over 2048! And of course it simply rocks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killersquirel Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 (edited) I just found the final version on your blog. Out of curiosity is the 1dot or 2dot random in their appearance on the game board? Edited October 18, 2018 by killersquirel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hizzy Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Al, please make a box for Threes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted October 19, 2018 Author Share Posted October 19, 2018 I just found the final version on your blog. Out of curiosity is the 1dot or 2dot random in their appearance on the game board? Yes, they are random. But with a controlled randomness, so that they come in pairs overall.

killersquirel Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Yes, they are random. But with a controlled randomness, so that they come in pairs overall. Thanks for the quick response. I want to thank you for all of the great games that you brought to the 2600. I'm definitely looking forward to anymore that you will bring in the future. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
