+SpiceWare Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Is Mappy_20180606_NTSC the final rom or is there a newer version that's on the cartridge? Just counted, John's posted over 20 new builds for us to test since then. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 So when can we order? I'll be adding Mappy and the other new PRGE releases to the store in November. When, exactly, remains to be seen, but hopefully be mid-month. ..Al 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Nathan Strum Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Were these publicly released? Nope. These were internal test builds. John typically releases the final ROM for a game after its initial release on cartridge (which will be at PRGE this week). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColecoGamer Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 (edited) My wife asked me what I wanted for Christmas the other day. I sat her down and showed her this (Mappy) and a handful of upcoming releases for the Atari Jaguar. She looked at me and smiled, and then said, You want an Atari Christmas dont you, honey? I hugged her and said , I love you too, honey! lol! Edited October 16, 2018 by ColecoGamer 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Nathan Strum Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 (edited) Nice interview! I'll admit to being a bit disappointed in last year's homebrew panel from PRGE, since it didn't seem that the homebrewers had much of an opportunity to talk. It's nice to hear John have a chance to talk about his games. Hopefully you can do more interviews like this with homebrewers. (Guess I need to get working on the next batch of sprites... ) Edited October 26, 2018 by Nathan Strum 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ZeroPage Homebrew Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Thanks so much Nathan, it was great to talk to John and to give more voice to the homebrew developers making amazing new games! I'll also soon be releasing an interview I did with Dan Kitchen about his two new homebrew 2600 games Gold Rush and Bon Voyage (and his future plans for MANY more games) as well as an interview with Albert Yarusso from AtariAge all about bringing the homebrew games to the masses!

Looking forward to the upcoming interviews! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Nathan Strum Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Nathan still notices because he isn't used to it like I am. On the contrary, my first and last name get misspelled all the time. Nathen is the most common. But I've had Natham, Nathun, Nathon, Nathien (still trying to figure that one out), as well as Strumm, Strumn, Strom, Sturm, Stern, Stromme, and for some reason, Smith. I'll admit though, I usually just copy/paste your last name when I need to type it someplace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
