Great improvement in playability over the last demo, but the fifth level is almost Impossible.?

Congratulations! The graphics looks like an early third generation game, very impressive indeed. Waiting for a cartridge release!

I was reading an old Brazilian videogame magazine (entitled "VideoGame") from 1991 and found 2 oddity I think some of you may like.

That was the unique mag from there featuring Atari game reviews by the time.

 

The first one is a game under development by "Engecomp" software (never heard about) that will feature a famous Brazilian singer Angelica.

There's no picture of the game, but was described as "memory game" (matching card game???).

It probably was never released, but it is interesting to know another brazilian game was in the works back in 90's (the other is MegaBoy).

 

The second surprise was an advertisement of a unknown to me "Conector Atari Console". Note Conector is the company brand, the console is just described as "Atari Compatible" console that will be released "October 1991".

Never saw this clone either. I'll post below both scans.

 

I did some search and found nothing relevant. There are many Engecomp's around to know which one was the aforementioned, and certanly Atari + Conector will never result in what I was looking for.

The Angelica game never saw the light of the day and this Atari clone looks a lot like the Phoenix (the console on these pictures is not mine) which is pretty rare.

I do not know how to link/copy posts from another forum topic, but there was a modified .bin that works perfectly with Harmony (I have played it myself a fair bit with no problems).

I will try to copy the link to the file for you at least: https://atariage.com/forums/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=669907

Thanks Tavi,! The modified ROM works fine, but  i'd like the Harmony natively support the unmodified ROM.

Hi!

 

Any chance to get a new firmware to play pursuit of the pink panther without a modified ROM?

 

Thanks!

Incredible game!
I didn't play the arcade, but the controls feels a bit "loose", especially on the third stage were the jumps are really hard.

[2019 Atari Homebrew Awards Voting Information & Discussion]

My 2 cents...

 

The problem is that most of the candidates were distribuited by AtariAge wich is huge compared to other small producers.

Most of these games (or packages) had their quality well known among the collectors around the world, so whats the chance that a small company to compete in equality of conditions? Most of the people complaining about the result doesn't even known that this game or the game developer existed before the prize, so how could anyone to judge imparcially all the candidates?

Since most of this games came from this forum and most of the votes too, how can we "equalize" the situation? There's people making good games and boxes with small distribution around the world, so how could we be fair with everyone?

Unfortunatelly there's no easy soluction or even right or wrong answer to this question...

Many members have already assumed that the game did not deserve to win, even without having had the chance to know it, regardless of the discrepancy in the votes...

What you are missing is, that the awards are not meant to be for the best advertising, most private friends and followers, most popular F***book and YouTube channels etc., but for the best GAMES. 

 

BTW: Nice collection you have there.

Thank you! ?

In fact, i agree with you Thomas, but the problem is that most of the candidates were distribuited by AtariAge wich is huge compared to other small producers.

And if this information is relevant, i didn't vote on any game this year! ?

 

Sorry my lame english. ??

[Awesome packaging of Rally Racer homebrew]

As an Atari collector, i also collect homebrew games and i can say that rally racer has one of the most creative packages on the market. Geez...even the cartridge shell is brand new, i dont see any problem to freely advertize your game since the winner is chosen by popular vote.
