That mockup cartridge is absolutely gorgeous!  I would buy it just for that, even if the game sucked.  :lol: (which I’m sure it wouldn’t).

 

Edit: With games like CGE Adventures, Epic Adventure, Evil Magician II, and the Grinch game, I cant help but thinking of a particular programmer when I look at those mockup screenshots and sprites. Todd... cough... @Byte Knight ;-)

lol

LOL. Can’t believe that was almost 10 years ago. I forgot all about that. 

I know!  crazy.  I really enjoyed seeing how you incorporated the programming limitations into the mockups.

 

I def thought that was one of the more interesting original ideas out there.

I knew next to nothing about how games were developed, as well as the limitations. I was hoping the idea would be compelling enough for someone to want to code. I knew I could never do it. I read that Idea Peddlers thread, and I didn't want to be another one of those "I have 1% of an idea, make the whole game for me" guys. I still have the printed box in my collection :)

Might use the playfield for blockades.

 

Might also change the health pack to an "E" so you can draw it will a missile or the ball.

 

Might be fun to borrow from Beyond Castle Wolfenstein, limit ammo, and require some stealth.  Berzerk set the bar for pure run and gun pretty high already.

 

Probably don't need to even actually draw bullets.  Muzzle flashes would suffice.

 

Too bad I'm so busy.  :(

 

Also, there's no way you get away with using that IP.  Probably better imagined as a zombie apocalypse in Chicago.
