Trebor Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 See here: http://www.videlectrix.com/index.html Co-worker directed me to this site. Has anyone heard anything about the company or games? -Trebor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sku_u Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 That is the first time I'm seeing that site. The game AweXome Cross looks like it's impossible to emulate on a 2600. Even though the catalog uses Atari carts as lnks to the screens, there is no mention anywhere that I could see as to what home system these games would be playable on.

Trebor Posted February 2, 2004 Author Share Posted February 2, 2004 That is the first time I'm seeing that site. The game AweXome Cross looks like it's impossible to emulate on a 2600. I'm sure many of the "shots" are just conceptual. Although I must agree AweXome is a little far fetched graphically (read *impossible*). I'm just curious because of the use of Atari 2600 cart-types and many of the "concept" shots look feasible on a 2600. The site itself is very lacking with information, and I was hoping someone knows something about the company or the games being "developed". -Trebor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Jentzsch Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 Is it just my connection or are the loading times of their website really that hilarious? (<200bytes/sec!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vic George 2K3 Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 This looks more like a pre-April Fool's Day joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Csonicgo Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 IT ISN'T A JOKE. WWW.HOMESTARRUNNER.COM well, it is, but not an April fool's joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cootster Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 Well, given that the creators are already involved with one highly innovative 2600 WIP, would conversions of these things seem that farfetched? At least if they got Paul or someone else here to do them? . . . But damn, these load times make the loads at homestarrunner.com seem positively brisk . . .

Chuck Gill Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 You can play Trogdor, Secret Collect, Awesome Cross and a few others on the Homestarruner.com website. Trogdor is actually pretty good. For more background on Trogdor go to the Strongbad's Email section and read Dragon. Chuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starman Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 Guys, if you don't know, Videlectric is a phony company that the Homestar guys use for their Flash games. It's not serious at all. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Slocum Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 Those dudes and I really are working on a game for the 2600. And it's not based on Knight Rider either! It's based on RPG. -paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
