Vocelli Posted August 6, 2020 Author Share Posted August 6, 2020 Great News! I put out word that I was looking for Homebrew games to be played in the Atari2600 HSC. I got a GREAT response! So, I have been given permission to post and play 3 Homebrew Games in the HSC in the coming weeks. Hopefully the creators will join us with some tips and tricks during those weeks. All 3 games will be played sometime in September during our Homebrew weeks! 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy B. Coyote Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 This is going to be a very interesting round! I've played Espial a few times before and enjoyed it but the other two are brand new to me. I'll be really looking forward to seeing what homebrew games we'll be playing in September too! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogerpoco Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Hehehe-I'll be stinking this couple of weeks up, I imagine, but still interested in playing stuff I'm not familiar with as well-Like Skippy, I think I played Espial a time or two, but... Fun, Fun, Good Luck Everyone!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fakecortex Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Things with wings round here I come. Nice thing about playing games I've never played before- pb's come straight out the gate! Throwin' up a few quick scores before I read the manuals and realize I'm playing wrong.

fakecortex Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 "I wonder why he linked the files. Lemme check out what the carts are going for on pricecharting.com..." wow I'm glad some of the best games are the most common... 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.BAZ Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 My goodness! When you said "3 space shooters I have never played" I was expecting homebrews. Looking forward to playing these unusual titles! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogerpoco Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Condor Attack-4266 First attempt, still probably way better than I should have hoped for, I just can't really "shoot stuff" too well... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oyamafamily Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 @Vocelli Some participants need better clarification about the game Condor Attack in order to avoid confusion, because Game 0 is the DEFAULT GAME MODE (Skill Easy and slow bomb speed). Here are the screenshots of each game mode in Condor Attack (notice that the enemy shape changes each time the Select button is pressed): Until Vocelli gives the final word, I will choose Game 1 in Condor Attack (NORMAL skill level / MEDIUM bomb speed). 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good catch, I assumed "game 1" would be default, and just turned the game on to play. Let me know, is no worries, I may have played the wrong variation, no big shakes. (I kinda wondered, tho, why my score was so seemingly high...) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vocelli Posted August 7, 2020 Author Share Posted August 7, 2020 Great Catch Oyama! We will be playing Game 0 Default. I was unaware there were other options and should have checked. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbag Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 After playing each of these games for a while..I personally like Rescue Terra 1 the best...Espial 2nd...condor attack seems very flawed...difficulty ramps up really quickly and becomes like a kaboom experience without the paddles...plus the condors respawn in the same place so if you hit a sweet spot just keep firing. I think I will have fun with these games though!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Atari_Warlord Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 First attempt before reading manuals: Rescure Terra 1 = 27,875 Condor Attack = 1,618 Espial = 7,790 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogerpoco Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Rescue Terra 1-43,775 I actually don't see where I'll improve much on these first attempts(I often get worse, the harder I "try"...), but again, I've already done way better than I expected I would on these type games. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogerpoco Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Espial-2590 Well... Two out of three ain't bad... Just wanted to submit my true first attempts on these-I don't know that I had "good" games on the other two, nor do I think this was a "bad" game for me on this one, I don't see how I can do much better, is just a matter of "good at some things, not so much at others". Surprisingly, didn't "hate" the game(Espial), I'm just evidently not any good at it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogerpoco Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Espial-8430 Second attempt went a little better, I had the contrast down and couldn't see the enemies well enough the first time I think. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
