With new things, I usually think: "how hard can it be?". Sometimes it turns out to be easy, but in this case it wasn't, and I spent a lot of time learning new tools. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevinMos3 Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 (edited) Dave Dries strikes again! His artwork always makes a game a must-have for me. This is a fun and very well done game game, but that artwork absolutely solidifies a space for it in my cartridge collection. Hopefully, we see several new games added to the store soon. Perhaps that could be one silver lining to PRGE being cancelled this year??? @Albert maybe has more time to prepare new games for sale rather than preparing for the Expo? ?

Me too! @Albert How does this year compare to previous years. Seems like there are quite a few homebrews coming out this September. You might have needed more space at PRGE. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

insertclevernamehere Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 (edited) I can't believe how much AtariAge have hit it out of the park with the quality of their releases this year. Not just the games but the box art. Such a great time to be an Atari fan. Edited October 4, 2020 by insertclevernamehere 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dionoid Posted January 3, 2021 Author Share Posted January 3, 2021 Yay, my second '2600 game is released on actual cartridge!! I'm very happy with how this game panned out, also with the amazing label and box artwork by Dave Dries! And many thanks to Al for all the work he has done to bring this game to the AtariAge store. To give people an idea about the final game, I've just uploaded a feature-limited demo ROM to the original post. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The colors of the tower blocks are shades of petrol; a color which isn't available in the '2600 default color palette. These 'in-between' colors where generated by alternating the chrominance (color) each scanline, while keeping the same luminance (brightness); a CRT will blend this into a new color.

Amoeba Jump is with more than 2000 scores and 69 players the most popular game in the PlusROM High Score Club: https://highscore.firmaplus.de/index.php?page_sort=2 and (currently) the second popular ROM in the PlusStore public downloads: https://pluscart.firmaplus.de/statistics.php?stat_id=1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I'm not planning to create a PlusROM version for Tower of Rubble - at least not this year. The game just became available in the AtariAge store, so I'd like Al to have an opportunity to recoup his investments on the printed boxes and manuals.

WishItWas1984 Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Will "Tower of Rubble" be made available for digital release as a ROM for R77/Stella? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prizrak Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 These are the one from the PlusCart repository. Didn't know if you were NTSC or PAL. I think v1.1 is the final version that was made public before the final.http://cloud.tapatalk.com/s/604e0dda6e4ae/TOR.zipSent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just tested it on my R77 with the latest community build. The primary control for the v1.1 NTSC file doesn't seem to work. I mean, it's a joystick with a single button so I'm pretty sure I tried everything there is to get it working, but no luck. lol The guy just won't grab the ledge next to him. He keeps bouncing off.

There is a demo ROM (downloadable from the original post) which has some limitations, but is fully playable. If you want the full experience (cartridge with all features, savekey support, manual, box), you're going to have to buy a copy from the AtariAge store. Note that Tower of Rubble uses F8 bank switching, so the cartridge is supported on a Retron77. Maybe at a later stage I can release the rom through itch.io. I don't expect many people wanting to pay for a digital-only full version, but it doesn't hurt trying this out. 4 hours ago, WishItWas1984 said: Thanks! If v1.1 was indeed the pre-final version, then I would hope any differences would be minimal. The release version is different from this v1.1 version: different colors, slightly changed graphics and some minor fixes. 2 hours ago, WishItWas1984 said: The guy just won't grab the ledge next to him.
