AtariAge is sponsoring and attending the 2006 Midwest Gaming Classic, where we'll be releasing several new games for purchase as well as demonstrating many titles currently in development.

DEBRO Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 I'm surprised no one has said anything about the new games available at the MGC. Four new games are going to be there!! I guess all the hype of E3 has overshadowed this event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godzilla Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 This looks awesome :-) I know I'll do all I can to be there, if not I'll make sure to get all the games. ALL OF THEM :-) That new puzzle game looks very interesting and the improved wolfenstein is a nice surprise. Conquest of Mars looks just plain great, looks a lot more like the real a8 version. I can't wait to see what other surprises are in store. The demos being shown look great too, can't wait to see 2600 ladybug! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+SpiceWare Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 A well kept secret then - even Google didn't know about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted May 9, 2006 Author Share Posted May 9, 2006 The demos being shown look great too, can't wait to see 2600 ladybug! At least one more demo will be added (should have it up there tonight), and possibly a few more depending on how much progress some of the authors make between now and the show. It's always nice being able to try out these games on real hardware at a show like this. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cd-w Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 How have I managed to not heard of Conquest of Mars before this? I don't know that it has been publicly discussed before. I hadn't heard of it either - who is the author? All I can see is "Champ Games" on one of the screenshots? Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybergoth Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 I hadn't heard of it either - who is the author? All I can see is "Champ Games" on one of the screenshots? Another fantastic masterpiece from johnnywc of Lady Bug fame! Having played one or the other preview version of this, I can assure everyone that unlike a certain previous release of a similar looking title, this is the real thing now, with everything done right! BTW: That Wolfenstein label looks cool. It's from Dave Dries, or? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Nathan Strum Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Conquest of Mars has been discussed in the forums. Just not by that name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pixelboy Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 So how many ColecoVision games can we expect to be released at this event? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted May 11, 2006 Author Share Posted May 11, 2006 I've added two more games we'll be demonstrating at the show: Four-Play by Zach Matley Superbug by Fred Quimby AtariAge 2006 Midwest Gaming Classic Preview - Game Demos ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Nathan Strum Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 (edited) I've posted this in the homebrew forum before, but are there any plans for Mantra, Jitter and Flow to get released on carts? I think they'd make for good show demos. (I also think they'd make a great 3-in-1 multi-cart.) Edited May 14, 2006 by Nathan Strum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King_Salamon Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 As this is being held in Milwaukee it leaves me one question... if I am travelling through Wisconsin this summer... where do I find some fellow gamers? And some wicked arcades for that matter?!? Secondly.. any ColecoVision games to be announced at this event? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godzilla Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 WOW superbug looks awesome. Rotating sprite... sweet :-) I cant get too excited about connect four, but the title screen is hilarious and really good looking :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zach Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 I cant get too excited about connect four, but the title screen is hilarious and really good looking :-)The title screen design is Nathan's work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godzilla Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 how awesome would it be if the facial expressions could stay in game and then the pieces could react to each other with different looks and etc. :-) Then I might get really excited. Don't worry, though, if it makes it to cart, I'll buy it no matter what. I believe in supporting homebrew developers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s1lence Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 I can't wait, this show is going to be huge this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Nathan Strum Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 Thanks for the compliment about the title screen, but don't underestimate the gameplay in Four Play. He's put some wicked-hard AI in there. I have yet to beat it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted May 29, 2006 Author Share Posted May 29, 2006 I'm going to have a webcam setup at the show, I set it up tonight on one of my computers. You can bookmark the page here: http://www.atariage.com/features/shows/mgc...iew/webcam.html It is running at the moment--you can watch me (sometimes) as I prepare for the show. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zach Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 The webcam is a nice idea, Al. That'll be more satisfying than waiting a month or so for photos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can archive the images, although it will be a metric ton of them since the camera is taking a shot every five seconds. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
