Presenting the world's first one-player Odyssey homebrew! (there is also an option for a two player game if you want to be nostalgic.)

it's called six²

I'll be getting copies made next week and if there isn't a snowstorm (which actually happened in December once recently), I want to release it next month.

This has been in the "almost ready" stages for a few years now, but I want this stuff gone, so I need to do a few more things before I release it.

I'm curious, but how much would a copy be? Might be interested. Also, I didn't realise nobody has done a single player game yet, looks like you will beat me to it!

 

I had another question, has anyone got the dimensions of one of the extra game boxes originally released by Magnavox? I did nearly buy Shooting Gallery on ebay, but I stupidly asked a question and they realised they "don't ship out of the US". Should have just bidded and paid for it XD. I am curious how much it would cost to get boxes that match.

 

Edit: Not going to post again for the sake of it, but I've released an overlay + instruction sheet for a demake of "Space War" from the Fairchild Channel F to the Odyssey, see here:

While we're not doing "official" reservations, for this and any future releases, I'll make sure that any members of the FB group who have expressed interest are able to receive one before opening up any remaining copies beyond that community (to these forums, etc.).  So you'll definitely get your copy! ?

Thanks very much Zack!

 

And just saw an typo error i've wrote: "..... did you revered one ?" LOL!!! Revered ??? LOLLLLL!!!

I meant "reserved"... That's what happens when i type too fast, especially at lunch break on work.

 

I was wondering...will you and the team may intend to released the ITL-951 ? Maybe in Game Pack #3 ? (wink!)

Sorry its been so long since I have posted anything. I got so busy with work that I had to abandon my hobby for a while but the good news is I have the extra time now to finish my homebrew I started years ago. The prototype was almost finished anyway so it shouldn't take too much effort to complete my hunting adventure. Stay tuned for an official release thread coming soon.

Me too! Put me on the list for a copy of Hunting Adventure and welcome back! ;)

Thanks Slydc,

This project is coming along nicely and just finished making all the boxes for this release. If anyone else would like to reserve a copy, I made an official pre-order post here:

Hi MCA,

 

Thanks for the update and i've just posted on the forum. I saw your box, great idea to put the name

and the rifle gun drawing in green, this will make a heck of a distinction compared the the original

games.

 

At the rate you're going, the game should be ready by the end of this month ?

I picked up an Odyssey and all 10 additional games. I'm starting to research the homebrews and see what is out there. If anyone has any information on any of these homebrews, I'd appreciate if anyone could link me to reviews, screenshots, auctions, etc. If you own any of these games and want to just say how fun it is, I'd appreciate knowing that as well. I'd also like to know if I'm wrong about the status on any of these or if there are more that I don't know about.

 

Released Homebrews:

Odball by Revrob

Mentis Cohorts by Revrob (I know there's been a dispute about people not getting this one. Did anyone actually get a copy?)

Red vs Blue by Revrob

Dodgeball by Atariland2600

Odyssey Evil by ManCaveArcade

Captain Bruce by Atariland2600

 

Unreleased Homebrews:

Lava Monster by TheMichaelLant (Announced in 2014. Confirmed Pending in 2015. TheMichaelLant could not be reached for comment in 2019.)

Hadeaus War by djfurreh (Announced in 2015. Confirmed Pending in 2017. Currently trying to reach djfurreh for comment.)

I'm really interested in learning everything that there is to know about the Odyssey and I appreciate anyone giving me anything that can help.

I think they are all sold out and out of print besides hunting adventure.

And possibly chris would make more dodgeball or captain bruce on demand if you ask him....he is atari2600land here.

And red vs blue was given out here by revrob many years back...i would assume its still buried here but you would have to dig for it in the forums.

I've updated the first post to the best of my knowledge. If anyone knows of any other Odyssey homebrews please post here and I'll add them to the first post. 

I posted a full list in post #37 if you want to add that info.

I'm pretty sure that I have everything other than re-releases and I'm not intending to go that granular. I'm listing games rather than individual releases. If you see anything in particular that's missing let me know, because I don't see it.

I've never heard of Peacekeeper/Command-o or Space War Demake. Do you know if either is still available? Those were during the lifetime of this thread, so I wish someone had posted something. 

 

Uppy told me that he'd basically abandoned his Soccer remake some time ago and with it being released by Zhorton and his team I don't think that there's any reason to continue posting those. 

 

Can you provide references for the other unreleased/abandoned ones other than Hadeus War? I have that one on my list. 

 

Also if you could provide a list of any exclusive games for Odysim I will add them.

Hi D.C.,

 

No problem for the info. OK for Peacekeeper/Command-O, only five "hardware" release were sold. You can check here:

https://www.homebrewlegends.com/peacekeeper-command-o/

 

Youtube: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=4&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwii7pXY347pAhVKa80KHdfCDPMQtwIwA3oECAkQAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D1ZOWTBpPJVo&usg=AOvVaw3ivOErAIZWNvgGE9SCShv2

 

And here's the link (from Youtube) for the files since now it is a free edition:

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1cjD2ruNWh3-XnxFXwd5esAR7zW0jYVcv

 

So if nobody has that game, now it is your chance before the link disappears one day.

 

Now for "Space War Demake", it was posted here on AtariAge:

 

You can download the manual in the upper link and get the overlay. :)

 

BTW, both Space War Demake & Peacekeeper/Command-O are "free" to use.

 

Indeed, Soccer has been released by Vibrant Media Labs in Game Pack #2

so it would be a bit non-sense to release it individually.

 

OK now more info on the unreleased games:

* Hadeus War (sorry to repeat) was renamed as"War of Semmis" by the author as i was discussing

with him to do an OdySim version. Never heard of him since 2016. :(

 

* Final Fantasy: Tales of Odyssey info is here:

 

* The Semi-Impenetrable Fortress of Doom (by Atari2600land):

 

* Hide and Seek/Dragonhunt:

 

* Trumpocalypse (by Vibrant Media Labs): is written as a bonus game here

in this tread:

 

I got the Game Pack #1 and i don't have any "Trumpocalypse" instructions with

my Game Pack. Does anyone has it or it was forgot to be included ? I'll ask

Zack about this soon (if he doesn't reply here first...lol).

 

- End of part 1 -

* Jack-O-Lantern Odyssey (SBRW15)(released 2018)

* Midway's Haunted House (EM arcade port)(SBRW16)(released 2019)

* Frogger (arcade port/part of Game Pak #1)(SARC01)(2020)

* Pac-Man: Eat & Run (arcade port/part of Game Pak #1)(SARC02)(2020)

* Donkey Kong (arcade port/part of Game Pak #1)(SARC04)(2020)

* Gosub (port of Atari2600land famous game)(SBRW17)(2020)

 

And i have about 30 games in development as future releases which are:

x4 games for Game Pak #2, x4 games for Arcade Pak#3, x10-11 other "sports" games,

x2 games for a new hardware accessory, x4 "Casino" games, x2 racing games and others.

 

And here's an exclusive information that i haven't posted on the OdySim blog or elsewhere:

Games for Game Pak#2 will be:

* Squares of Tron

* Burgertime

* Carnival (for Rifle)

* Asteroids (for Rifle)

And those should be released this year (2020)

 

That's it for today, take care folks! :)

You said it. I thought that I had them all as well.
