  1. MK Toki... (The first thing that popped into my head was that this Toki looks like MK)
  2. The flippy duder from Impossible Mission. Pitfall Harry (Retro Lord added him to a fighter). The Samurai from Off the Wall. Cowboy from Stampede (yells "GET OVER HERE!" when lassoing). Kaboom bomber. Kangaroo Seldom seen Ninja Smurf...
  3. WOW! Thanks! I'm still playing with opponent AI and tweaking the settings (now music can be turned off and on ). It's a lot of fun to play around with and is coming to a close bit by bit. I've been EXTREMELY busy with my kids and family but am coding as much as I can. Six kids, two high-schoolers, two middle, two little. I didn't even have Wifi on for a couple of days!! With school coming to a close I should have much more free time to finish this. I really can't wait to. I love the game, but am eager to work on several others that have been sitting on the back burner. While working on this game I also finished and added to Run Out (my racing game). It now has three different fireworks scenes after completing a circuit and an ending after the third scene! I also did a massive graphics overhaul on the background objects making much of it appear shaded. I'm happy with how SFW plays so far. Having characters so much like Street Fighter makes me wonder if it even could be made into a cartridge for real. If it does get picked up to be sold you would need to offer up some art like the fantastic artist Atari-boy did with Titan Axe. I don't know how many games (I don't think any) have been made using the Batari Basic DPC+ kernel into actual cartridges. Retro Lord was the inspiration for this effort as the idea of a giant (giant for the Atari) Ryu sprite was presented. I had been toying around with using mirroring and several instances of sprites in sequence to make larger, more colorful characters. Sakura is my favorite as well.

  5. Pretty sure they used assembly and big ol' work stations like what is seen in a video of Atlantis during programming. Starting at 6:08 you get a view of a programming workstation from the eighties. Remember them? I doooooooooooo! *zzzzzaaap

  7. I think your videos are funny. I especially like when you slow down sound clips and show bits from movies, etc. I also think your kids are cool and your show is quite intertaining. I thought is was funny when your neigbor called you a bum to your wife.

      Yeah, I'm trying to get him interested in orchestrated chords but wouldn't ya know it, these youngsters just wanna speed pick bar chords.. ;-)

  12. I noticed that a handful of sellers I've dealt with recently have been sending pictures of the package before it ships. I think this should turn into a regular practice. I know that at least a handful of packages sent to me over the years were opened and/or repackaged. Recently I had a beautiful and quite valuable electric guitar get 'the treatment' during shipping. The box was obviously dropped but there was also signs of repackaging and possibly vandalism. Once I won the pack-in disk for the Turbo Duo (Bonks, Bonks 2, Gates of Thunder) on EBay. The seller wrapped it in paper and mailed it cheap. It arrived SNAPPED!!
  13. If it had the fabled Super Donkey Kong then it would be awesome and a must have! I got one (CV) for Mecha8 and Princess Quest and a few other earlier games that I find entertaining. I think you can use original controllers and I like those better than the repros with this system. I wish that I could play Mecha8 and Princess Quest with something like a NES pad or Genesis pad rather than the funky phone pads and mushroom sticks.
  14. Son beat Transformers: Devastation today!!

      Nope. Just cube shaped eyeballs.

  15. There are two levels of hardware zooming and a switch for mirroring. You can layer sprites (although they're not really sprites, just lines of colors) to make more modern looking 'sprites' although ghosting and flickering are unavoidable. One thing I like to do is use two sprites with different color schemes side by side to make bigger and more colorful characters. If you mean effects like what is found commonly in music demos on 16-bit computers, like fancy lettering, bouncing word demos, color cycling backgrounds with techno music (like Automation disks for the 1040 or what hacker circles might use as intros) you would likely have to program something that resembles those effects rather than use something built in. Do you have any music demos that could be played on Stella or put onto a Harmony cart?
