Simon #1 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gateway #2 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Albert #4 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lost Monkey #5 Posted May 27, 2003 I, for one, would hardly blame Simon if he *didn't* want to have a label contest... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krisjohn #6 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 #7 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 #8 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jack-Ass Tramiel #9 Posted May 27, 2003 This reminds of Level 2 of Lucky Wander Boy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
V.R #10 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ATARI TROLL #11 Posted May 27, 2003 Cant wait for the release! Great screen shots Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Godzilla #12 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Han #13 Posted June 2, 2003 This game is looking really sweet Simon... Looking forward to the label competition... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Simon #15 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris-in-NJ #16 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Godzilla #18 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Philflound #19 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 #24 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...
