Simon Posted May 26, 2003 Share Posted May 26, 2003 Hi, just to let you know: I updated my little 2600-development site with more information and screenshots about "A-VCS-tec Challenge". http://www.quernhorst.de/atari/ Simon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gateway Posted May 26, 2003 Share Posted May 26, 2003 I've been following the development for a while now. This looks very cool, Simon! Both your presentation page and the game are well done so far. Keep up the good work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krisjohn Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 Label Contest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 Label Contest? I can't vouch for A-VCS-tec Challenge, but we do have a label contest in the queue for an upcoming 2600 game (yes, it's been too long!) ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost Monkey Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 I, for one, would hardly blame Simon if he *didn't* want to have a label contest... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krisjohn Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 I, for one, would hardly blame Simon if he *didn't* want to have a label contest... Who would you blame? Just kidding. I think we've probably shaken all the problems out of the label competitions. From memory, the last one ran smooth enough. Can't remember which one it was though...

Simon Posted May 27, 2003 Author Share Posted May 27, 2003 Label Contest? I haven't thought very much about the labels, manual and box yet, but I have some visions of how the label could look. As I really liked the results of the Mental Kombat label contest back then, I don't have any negative feelings towards another public contest. At first I want to finish the game and afterwards I'll concentrate on the other items... I think that a lot of people on this board are very skilled graphicians and I'm sure that there would be a lot of cool sumissions, if another contest is held.

RMila75 Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 Maybe it is just wishful thinking, but this game looks like it could be adapted to create a version of Space Harrier for the 2600. Is it possible? Regardless, it looks like a great game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack-Ass Tramiel Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 This reminds of Level 2 of Lucky Wander Boy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.R Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 Looks like a swell game Simon. I for one, will definetely be purchasing the title. In my opinion this far exceeds the c64 in almost everyway, what does everyone think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATARI TROLL Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 Cant wait for the release! Great screen shots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godzilla Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 im still hoping for a supercharger version with all of the levels I always found the gauntlet level to be a greuling challenge, and I only played it to get to the other levels, which I found much more enjoyable. maybe its just me :-) It's definately got that cosmic ark meteor shower 'twitch factor' which I love so much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Posted September 26, 2004 Author Share Posted September 26, 2004 Hi everybody, I finally updated my A-VCS-tec Challenge development site at http://www.quernhorst.de/atari/ac.html - the game is coming closer to its final version. I have to code the increasing difficulty of the STAIRS levels and to graphically design the levels correctly... We'll see how soon I can finish the development. Best regards, Simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris-in-NJ Posted September 26, 2004 Share Posted September 26, 2004 Those are some amazing graphics for a 2600 game. While I've never heard of the original game on which this is based, it looks quite interesting. One small request: would it be possible to make the right difficulty switch the control for music or effects? For those of us who own a 7800 but not a 2600 (like me) this'll make the game more compatible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godzilla Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 Keep up the great work, Simon. I can't wait to see this one!!! Let's hope cosmi doesn't come back from the dead and bitch about it like farking infogrammes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philflound Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 This looks great. Even with my limited funds, I'd definitely would want one. Please don't limit this to any kind of convention. I can never make those and hate missing out an opportunity to own something. A label contest would be great. One question I would have is what is and what is not allowed to be on the label? Can we write Atari 2600? What type of color design or something like that is also allowed or not allowed? I may get my wife to do it instead of me. She's an artist, sort of, but never finished pursuing her dream. I, on the other hand, have no artistic ability whatsoever with drawing or painting.

Simon Posted October 4, 2004 Author Share Posted October 4, 2004 Hi, thanks for your feedback. Some motivation is needed to finished this game... A label contest would be great. One question I would have is what is and what is not allowed to be on the label? Can we write Atari 2600? What type of color design or something like that is also allowed or not allowed? I'm not sure if there will be any label contest this time... The most important thing is that the game gets finished (somewhen) - afterwards I'll consider how the label and package might be designed...
