Vocelli Posted December 18, 2018 Author Share Posted December 18, 2018 I was wondering if I could try again with Dark Mage? I believe the letter count is 68. Since your original post was Dark Mage... Yes, we can count it as your Bonus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+KaeruYojimbo Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 2F0941 Did anyone else notice that, in the higher levels anyway, the colors shuffle around but the tracks are always in the same order? In my case it was always 1, 7, 8, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redmiller Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Sooo, can you buy this as a Cartridge? If you can't Don't understand how you are playing it on the 2600? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+KaeruYojimbo Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Sooo, can you buy this as a Cartridge? If you can't Don't understand how you are playing it on the 2600? It's available from the AtariAge store. https://atariage.com/store/index.php?l=product_detail&p=296 Alternately you can download the ROM image and play on real hardware using the Harmony Cart or in an emulator.

Redmiller Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 First off, I am no Techie, Don't know what you mean by ROM Image or Harmony Cart or an emulator. I play with original Equipment only. Seems kind of a disadvantage to Newbies to play Homebrew games, I might have bought this cartridge if i knew about it ahead of game week, its too late now to order and get it in time to play before this week is over.

AtariWarlord Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 UltraSSCISide 1904CF. I'm so glad you are able to take a break in between rounds (as long as you don't hit the button or the space bar to go to the next level). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I play with original Equipment only. Seems kind of a disadvantage to Newbies to play Homebrew games, I might have bought this cartridge if i knew about it ahead of game week, its too late now to order and get it in time to play before this week is over. Think of a ROM as a cartridge that's stored on your computer. You can find just about all of the Atari 2600 games on ROM here: https://www.atariage.com/system_items.html?SystemID=2600&ItemTypeID=ROM An Atari 2600 emulator is a program that basically turns your computer into an Atari 2600 whenever it is running. Although there are others, the most popular 2600 emulator is Stella (based on the original working name of the VCS). Downloads of Stella can be found at https://stella-emu.github.io/downloads.html -- there is a user's guide on the same page. If you have any problems, myself or someone else here will be happy to help you. I may have to visualize a process that has become second-nature for me, but I'll do my best. I'm surprised there are no pinned Stella instructions in the Emulation section here. Maybe it's something I can do for the site someday. I'm looking to build a technical writing portfolio anyway.

AtariWarlord Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 The specific ROM for UltraSSCICide can be found here: https://atariage.com/software_page.php?SoftwareLabelID=2704 Look in the upper-right corner of the screen below the header and look for the little Pac-Man icon. Pressing it will start a download automatically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.BAZ Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 SBAZ... I don't know what that is.... please explain this game. I thought it would count like Basic Programming and the SynthCart-- not actually games but for the 2600 nonetheless. ... I think it could be called a "demo." It came in a pack of hacks & homebrews.

Harmony Cart is a 2600 cartridge which has an SD card slot in it. You can load roms on an SD card, insert the SD card into the Harmony Cart, and then plug the Harmony Cart into the 2600 and choose from the list of games to play! also, a rom is the game program which was stored on an original cartridge.

+KaeruYojimbo Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Vocelli, you attributed my score the the wrong K. It's listed as KaroKoening instead of KaeruYojimbo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redmiller Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Well, I thought most people actually played on original Equipment here, That's all I will do, as I have no internet at our house (live in the boonies) Guess I just wont be able to play the home brews unless I buy the actually cartridges, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any case I'm glad you're here gaming and ROCK ON !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Novastar Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 (edited) Another thought for redmiller:. You can go to https://javatari.org and save the HTML file to a flash drive or transfer from your phone. You could do the same with the rom. That should give you an atari emulator even without internet. The only issue is that you wouldn't be able to use real controllers without any adaptor...but depending on the game, that could be an advantage.

Novastar Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 (edited) First score worthy of mentioning1303C5Incidentally, the first two digits, which count for a lot of the positioning are incremented by clearing levels. Knowing that helps a lot. I always appreciate the sporting tips people give even to the competition and so I am glad to add my two cents. Oh yeah, another tip, if your Atari was not correctly tuned for color, this game is nearly impossible. I got a lot better just by fine tuning the color wheel under the hood.

Redmiller Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Thanks for the tips, but I like playing OLD school way. Brings back Memories as well as helps keep me collecting. I am a Vintage Collector of a lot of things 70s-80s. Will just skip out of this weeks game, Will get a bonus game posted though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
