Looking for ninja 2600 Crackpots players to test c64 conversion

Hi,

our latest activision conversion to the c64 Crackpots is nearing the test phase and we are looking for some experienced 2600 version players willing to test the c64 version in Vice.

Do you have a ROM link?  I'd love to give this a try.  Are you guys the same ones who did Frostbite for C64?  That one was really good, and it's probably my favorite game of all time so I don't say that lightly.

Hey dude, just wanted to let you know I finally got around to trying out C64 Crackpots last night.  Great work!

 

I'm not as big a fan of Crackpots as I am of Frostbite, but I am quite familiar with Crackpots and this port is dead-nuts on.  Sometimes it's a bit tricky to make sure you're directly over a flower pot to drop it, but that's how the original game plays as well.  

 

The red spiders seem a bit more brutal on this version than the original, but that's fine.  

 

Thanks for the game!  Hope you bring more of the Activision games to life on the C64; many of them are childhood favorites for me.
