These are all good examples! Keep 'em comin' I should have been more specific with the type of sprites I'm thinking of. The wall "missles" and Warren's name in Adventure are cool, however you can't move them around really. So I'd consider them like elements of a title screen. Sprites have been used in many games for titles, also, the Holiday Greeting Cart used Interleaved Chronocolour. Since these, and some of the animated sequences of the Children's games, for example, are not part of the actual gameplay, I'd leave them out. But sprites that are a part of the game play I would include, especially if you control them as the player. I asked about this mainly to discuss what large sprites have been used, and what else is possible for future homebrews, etc. I'd say the Cosmic Ark counts because you control it's actions, however the vault in "Vault Assault" is stationary while you operate the gunner sprite. Actually, it could be argued that the Cosmic Ark is like the vault. I'll have to play the game again soon. Also, I'd say the Centipede and Millipede are made of a bunch of repeated sprites. A few more: Fast Eddie is a bit large The Tie fighters in Star Fire are bigger than the average sprite, when they are close by. The players in Polo The dragsters in Dragster The boxers in Boxing Weston aka Gateway

Trotter is on his way to PhillyClassic 5! Check out bcprs1's thread that includes a pic with Trotter. I finally found a few minutes to update the web page with a few more listings. Also included on the web page is a link that includes a new page with the current list of hosts, for a quick reference. Be sure to come by the Packrat Video Games tables at the show, to see Trotter, and the many new hacks, homebrews, and games available to purchase! Also, we will be running a few competitions for prizes throughout the weekend. You could win one of these T-shirts, with awesome artwork done by our pal, Xot! There will be a limited number of these shirts for purchase as well: M, Lg, XL, and a few XXL. See y' all at the show! Gotta get some sleep now. My plane heads for Philly in the early morning.

Ummmm......I hope your just kidding. Tim The box in the pic is obviously a top down view. That's why I included the .

Wow, wulf! You packed those games in there so tight, they defy gravity!

This list is starting to get large! @ATARI TROLL: Sorry to hear about Combat C R's troubles. Yep, you are still on Trotter's list, though it will likely be after PhillyClassic 5 before Trotter heads westward. I've been double-checking the names and cities to make a smooth travel plan for Trotter, but he has ideas of his own! I knew this project would take on a life of its own, I just didn't think it would happen so soon! Thanks again to everybody so far, who have agreed to help Trotter achieve his worldwide journey! More soon. Peace, Weston

Shhhhh! Don't tell anybody! At least not until I earn a patch!

Rock'em Sock'em Boxing Robots

This would be really cool! That would take care of Trotter's interest in going to the Middle East. But would you be able to get him in AND out safely

Just added to the hosting list: RangerG, Tallahassee, FL, USA MegaManFan, Omaha, NE, USA ATARI TROLL, Wichita, KS, USA Thank you for your support. Stay tuned for more updates soon! Weston

Well, It would appear that Trotter won't need to use his passport soon, as originally planned. Due to a unique set of circumstances lately, Trotter will postpone his voyage to the UK and Europe, in favor of a trip to Baton Rouge, Louisiana! From there he will travel in a generally north and east pattern toward Philadelphia, and should arrive in that area in time for PhillyClassic 5! He will head out to Baton Rouge soon, so, those of you who live somewhat close to this planned route( from eastern Texas east to Florida and north generally along the east coast, sign up if you haven't already! If you are not living along this route, you can still sign up, as Trotter will still have many places to go after PhillyClassic.

Keep those sign- ups coming! I will post a list of people involved in a few days. Then, I'll probably edit this post as more people come onboard, or make a new post. Trotter is enjoying the sights around Utah Valley! More soon. Weston

Just a heads up! You can also send a PM to this account. I will be monitoring both. Thanks, Weston Globetrotter: First appearance: Mar. 28 - 30, 2003 ( PhillyClassic 4 ) Official Launch Date: Nov. 15, 2003, from Orem, Utah, USA
