Hi littaum! Thanks! I'm not considering making a demo, because I usually don't. 😐 The only reason for this is that, unfortunately, in Brazil, it is known that some people sell Demo versions of games (in cartridges), without authorization, and (even worse) not warning that the game is incomplete. There are even AtariAge games (WIP or not) being sold that way in Brazilian markets, which I always thought was very unfair for developers. I would also like to find a safe way to sell my game ROMs on a platform like PlusCart. I am waiting for the advance of this tool in this direction. 👍

Hi sramirez2008! Thanks! No, this isn't a Space Invaders port... 😊 ...but that's not to say that all those games aren't in our subconscious almost all the time. That's the kind of thing we like! ☺️👍 Obviously, the game also brings other influences from that era. I will soon make a video available. Hope you like!

Hi TrekMD! Thanks! 😊👍

Hi 4ever2600! Thank you for the words! ☺️

Hi Neogeoman! Thank you very much! I believe that soon all messages sent will be answered! 👍

Hi StormyWeathers! Thanks! 😊👍

Hi jgkspsx! ZARKSTARS III is not finished yet. I ended up giving preference to releasing, very soon, ZARKSTARS IV: NEBULA. Hope you like it! 😊 INTRUDERS is a game about a police agent who tries to destroy aliens that are invading the planet, capturing dynamites and a detonator along the way, jumping holes and saving some humans (before they turn into monsters) until he reaches the city hall of each city, where the aliens are multiplying. It's six alien-infested cities before he can save the planet. 🙃

I thought I posted this here... 🙄 This is a short video of the winner of the competition, @Moisés Tuseto, turning over the ORBITAL WAR score (999,999), accessing the secret scene of the enemy Spy Satellite and finishing the game! He won the new Raw War Series game: INTRUDERS!

Hi Tempest! I didn't see his post. I searched but didn't find anything. Thanks for letting me know... I'll try to find it. 😊👍

Hi Crimefighter! Not mine. If they were... I wouldn't sell. ☺️ I was also curious about this later Wizard date. 👍

Hi Bomberman94! Yes... I'm starting to think about making some PAL versions in the future, but... I can't say at the moment how many people would be really interested. 🤔 Cheers! Leandro Camara

Hi! Website updated with Orbital War scores! The competition is in progress! Hope to see some of you there! Cheers! https://www.zarkstars.com/outros-jogos-other-games/orbital-war

Second Challenge revealed and more Tips! ORBITAL WAR Competition! CHALLENGE [2]: Now that you have been recruited to continue in combat, you will need to submit one (1) screen shot of the game showing: (A) The Easter Egg with the spy infiltrated (programmer) initials on the enemy base and your score! OR (B) The enemy Spy Satellite scene (see picture) and and your score! Either one of the two goals already serves as an accomplished mission! This challenge is not a prerequisite to continue in the competition, however, it can guarantee you the following prize: 1 Coupon for a 5% discount on the next game in the RAW WAR series, for all participants who manage to reach either of the two Challenge goals [2]. Send the photo to [ skyline2600games@gmail.com ] with your name and the date of the picture. The photos sent will be published in the comments of this post. Tips from Lieutenant Beta T.: 1) The enemy base is situated on the Moon. 2) The Spy Satellite can be seen after the Earth Blackout. 3) Use the TOP SECRET Envelope if you want to solve this mission quickly!

Tips for those who want to participate and win the ORBITAL WAR Competition! Secret Spy Messages! 1) Start playing with Joystick 2 (controller on the right connector) to understand the exact moments of firing Ballistic Missiles on enemy Shuttles. Once you've mastered this simpler game mode and scored relatively high, take Joystick 1 (controller on the left connector) and start learning the combination of Heavy Artillery attack (Aim) with Ballistic Missiles (Missiles in the surface of the Earth). 2) Ballistic Missiles have a timer to place them on the Earth's surface. Keep Joystick 2 pressed in the direction you want to move the Missiles (left or right) and wait for them to move. 3) The rightmost digit of the Score marks the number of Shuttles shot. Every 10 Shuttles you pass a Wave and receive a military badge. 4) Every time you pass the Wave, five (5) charges are added to the Earth's Energy Bar. 5) Enemy Ships in the center of the radar are worth significant points in your Score. Depending on which weapon you hit them with, the score for each one is higher or lower on your scoreboard. 6) If you get a record that you consider high, take a screenshot and a 20 second video and save it for the final challenge! Tips from Lieutenant Beta T.! 1) As difficult as it may seem initially, with Joystick 1 (controller on the left connector) you trigger the Heavy Artillery (Aim) to defend the Earth from the enemy attack and still fire the Ballistic Missiles against the Shuttle. 2) Heavy Artillery (Aim) when used on the radar line closer to Earth offers more defense to the planet and more control in the repositioning of Missiles to be used in the attack against the Shuttle. 3) Slow Missiles, starting from Europe (central position), require a lot of timing and precision, but are useful to break a possible Shuttle sync hiding behind enemy Defense Satellites. 4) Read the game manual carefully if you want to win this competition!

Competition Start! This weekend, Sunday (25/09), collector Alexandre Bastos will start the competition of the game ORBITAL WAR, playing in real time, on Live promoted by the Mutação Gamer Channel. The initial challenge is to send a photo of the game screen in the third wave and guarantee the name among the competitors, but Alexandre has already promised to make a high Score to register his participation in the Ranking of the best players! Leandro Camara, developer of Orbital War, will be present in the Chat to give tips to the participants of the competition and talk about this original title made especially for the ATARI 2600. Daniel Medina, Beta Tester of Leandro's recent games, such as the ZARKSTARS Saga and others still unpublished, will also be present. Daniel will talk about his experience playing Orbital War, during testing, in different and even unusual ways for ATARI. Participate together with us! Sunday now, at 18:00 (Brazil time), on the Mutação Gamer Channel with collector Alexandre Bastos! You're all invited! https://www.facebook.com/zarkstars/posts/pfbid031gZ1CvrTqTuYmey6YFEU43LwgW4beWQfDsQ4neVfu7DDTYw8FBydNTyUp111rdQAl
