Stake Toss and Pixel Ninja Pit Jumper are not active WIPs, I was just getting myself familiar with the software Not a big deal but I'm not using RTs suggested code for FP numbers in the Atax-Atax WIP so it remains a solo project, However I did use code provided by Karl G in CRT so credit is due to him ? I was just looking at that today and wondering why my username was on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I assume it was the FP code, not that mind really- I find the website you maintain absolutely invaluable for working in Bb so in a way you kind of are co-creator of a good chunk of the games made here ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to do a search for both 'Chess' and 'CRT The Chromatic' on both Google and AtariAge's search engine but I was not able to find anything. If you are able to supply links to information about both of the games I'm sure that @Arenafoot would love to add them to his massive list of homebrews! - James 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first "Chess" post was December 3rd so missed that by one day, and it seems also missed the close-off (last night) by one day. As to "a released binary" I believe I read the list was for binaries OR videos released in 2019. In any case, I have no issues - I was just wondering if/why it was missed. Now I know.

Mr SQL Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 On 12/2/2019 at 11:31 PM, ZeroPage Homebrew said: SuperCharger SpaceInvaders Girls by "Mr SQL" (Not Eligible: Not substantively different from original) That was the WIP, the finished version released in 2019 has all of the audio trax - watch the playthrough video above and see! If you review this one, you should ask one of the Champions of Pong to guest star on the show who can reach the abstract cut-scenes and play through them to the ending scene. Note: This is a modern themed port so it's got trippy visuals and the epic audio Stardust describes above, this is not meant to be an exact port of Space Invaders. In my next comment on the linked thread, I talk more about the potential of modern themed ports - technologies like the ARM and even the SuperCharger and CBS RAM+ making it possible to create these modern themed ports for the Atari VCS as well as making more exact Arcade ports.

I've made a note in the listings that Chess will be added to next year's eligibility list along with CRT The Chromatic as they were both missed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
