+Atarius Maximus Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Does bB have keypad support? SeaGtGruff posted a demo using keypads many years ago. As far as I know no one ever made a game utilizing that code. Based on it's age, I'm also not sure if it would work with the newest version of bB. Edit: It's also an old post, but CurtisP posted an update to SeaGtGruff's code in that thread as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SIO2 Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 I hereby grant you exclusive rights for manufacturing and distribution of Pet Rock. That is awesome! Thank you. Maybe I can do a collectors edition double ender of SQuare Just Sits There and Pet Rock. Exciting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIO2 Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Cool Idea. Love the colors... Might as well throw my own personal "do nothing" ROM up as well. Stick this in a fake Air Raid or something... Trollface v0.02.bin Original thread: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/218359-troll-face-my-first-atari-2600-rom/?p=2861882 Dude that is so much better than Trollface v0.01. Good job! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIO2 Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 That Pet Stone label was so funny. I laughed and laughed. Thanks for that Nathan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iesposta Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 I remember that it won the label contest by miles. There was absolutely no discussion. And afterwards Jordi invested a lot of time (and talent!) into further polishing what was already great. IMO the best packaging for the 2600 ever. But I am not 100% objective here. I _really_ like the art! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omegamatrix Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 This is being sold for a mere $32,767, which if you know anything about homebrews you'll agree is a bargain price! Is that price set in stone? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omegamatrix Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 It would be better if these rocks games had different colors to reflect your mood. If I felt sad I could plug in my blue rock cartridge and stare at if for a while. Likewise I could plug in my yellow rock cartridge when I feel happy. Also, just throwing this out there, I would like a hack of one of these rock games that competed against the player in a blinking contest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+KaeruYojimbo Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Hmmm. Maybe I should actually work on the Slug Bug game idea I had a couple of years ago. All it is is random car sprites moving across the screen, and when a VW Beetle appears, you hit the person sitting next to you. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emehr Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 That Star Castle artwork needs to be on a poster. It's just beautiful. The composition is fantastic and the fact that the ship is AtariAge-orange is just perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you want is my 4th quarter 2016 release of Mood Ring 2600. Just press the joystick in whichever direction you feel like and the ring (SQuare) will indicate your mood. It is still in the early stages. Edited November 18, 2015 by SIO2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All it is is random car sprites moving across the screen, and when a VW Beetle appears, you hit the person sitting next to you. This. That's the best idea I've heard for a game in a long time. I swear my youngest son always sees them first and slugs me first. We've been doing that for about as long as I can remember. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Random Terrain Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Can we go back to talking about how much bB is ruining everything? I really, really, really, really, really hate batari Basic. Also, people who use bB smell funny. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIO2 Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 (edited) The slug bug idea has merit. It could even be one player. Just punch the joystick button when you see the beetle. A computer opponent could either be random or take into account your average response time. A force feedback module would put it over the top. Like a boxing glove on a spring. Ataribox?
