Cousin Vinnie Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Putt 18 Miniature Golf: "I don't know if it succeeds as a putt putt video game, but it did make me laugh out loud several times watching the @#!$ on the screen go crazy." http://www.atari7800forever.com/putt18.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayhem Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 When was this released? I don't recall ever seeing it mentioned or sold before, and I don't own it, and I had pretty much everything homebrew for the 7800 at one time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cousin Vinnie Posted May 27, 2021 Author Share Posted May 27, 2021 (edited) Last year. And if I recall correctly, only two games were really released on cart for the 7800 last year: Putt 18 at Video 61 and Gosub through 2600connection.com. Both are pretty good games and worth a consideration . Edited May 27, 2021 by Cousin Vinnie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game was released in 2020 by video 61 like it was already mentioned. There are 2 reasons why this game wasn't mentioned much. The first problem is the programmer was banned here on Atariage in 2019. He was banned after decided to create sock puppets accounts after being warned not to with them being shill accounts. Even before he banned, those games were going to be release on Video 61 instead of Atariage and meant those not going to get great recognition to begin with since Atariage gets more views for homebrew games on youtube than Peter Myer's youtube videos does. The game was mentioned here 2 times at least though in 2020. Dauber created a feedback thread on the game in 2020, but it ended up locked. The game also was on the list part of this thread: https://atariage.com/forums/topic/301937-atari-7800-homebrew-completedwip-in-2020/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayhem Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Cheers... yeah with a daughter, my time to peruse is less, and missed anyone posting that it was up for sale at Video61. Hey ho, I halted buying 7800 homebrew anyhow due to time and costs, and didn't get Ricki & Vicki either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilsaluki Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 I bought the 8-bit version. It is one of my go-to games. I love golf games anyway and this is a good one. Several courses available. Obstacles can be frustrating, but you can turn them off. I salute his programming and Lance's shop for selling it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dauber Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 I posted about it a while back asking for reviews for my podcast. But rather than talk about the game, people were bashing the developer and my thread ended up being locked. (Thanks, folks. Really helps.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBM. The game is good. The yardstick I use is Antic/XLEnt's Miniature Golf Plus by David Plotkin, always a great game. As for bashing the developer, all that is before my time. They simply hate the guy, don't know why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dauber Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 I have a few ideas why and there were certain behaviors he exhibited that were really suspicious (not going to get into that now), but I have my theories and will give him the benefit of the doubt.

Shawn Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 If this was a 2600 title it wouldn't be too bad. As a 7800 title? It falls far below my minimum expectations out of a game I would spend money on. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another big strike against all those games made by video 61 is the crap quality labels, manuals and "boxes". It's like they don't even care to try or just don't care to do better. That sort of presentation was ok in the early 2000's when better printing, die cutting, etc. was out of reach financially for the hobbyist and small business, but not anymore.

No, the only reason he was banned was because he kept creating new accounts, which he'd then use to post in the same threads he was posting in using his main account. He'd use these additional accounts to go after his critics and/or post positively about his projects. He was given numerous warnings to stop with this behavior, but after doing this over a period of years I finally had enough and permanently banned him. ..Al 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That positive alternate account posting and promoting did so to drum up sales, as the previous poster mentioned too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
