Surround 4 players

[Zeelay]

This hack allows four players to play Surround at the same time.

BE AWARE that it requires a modified 2600 console with four joystick ports.

 

The four players are divided in 2 teams : blue vs green

When a player hurts a wall, it gives one point to the opposite team.

 

 

Variation number 2 has a more tron-like skin :

(other variations have not been checked)

Very cool! I'm in! (Hardcopy please)
I assume, it will work with Quadtari as well?

A four player QuadTari compatible surround game is part of QuadGames if you're looking for one.

Very cool!  If you're interested in adding QuadTari support for the game, send me a PM and I'd be glad to provide assistance.

Thank you johnnywc,

 

In fact, I plan to afford a QuadTari

and I already had a look how to program it in the idea to adapt Surround4.

If I have any difficulty to program the QuadTari, I will send you a message for help

 

Igor.

 

P-S : Sorry to "m.o.terra kaesi", Surround4 doesn't already work with QuadTari... but maybe later...

Would this work with the Gemini y adapters?

Thank you James for the info. This is great news.
If I receive my QuadTary copy before Nathan publish his Surround version for QuadTari

(which is not sure since I live in France, and the shipping is pretty long here),

then I will probably hack Surround 4 into Surround 4QT.

I don't know how the Gemini adapter works, but I assume that it won't work because

the hack of Surround-4 that I made requires a hacked 2600 console,

using the PB2, PB3 and PB4 pins from the RIOT (see below in the red frame "Not used") :

We played the Quad-Racing recently on ZPH with four players, very much like Indy500! Here's a directly link to the timestamp @ 58:59
