Joel D. Park Posted July 1, 2002 Share Posted July 1, 2002 I got to try Mr. Robot on a real Atari this weekend. The music is great and it never slows or skips no matter what you do. Very impressive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted July 1, 2002 Share Posted July 1, 2002 I agree, Paul did a great job! I'm amazed at how long the song plays before finally repeating. It's just unusual to hear background music of that caliber on the Atari 2600 without the use of additional hardware (like with Pitfall II). I wonder what title he'll infect next? ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost Monkey Posted July 1, 2002 Share Posted July 1, 2002 Paul did an awesome job on Mr. Roboto... and Combat Rock.. ...and the Synthcart ...and Marble Craze looks great too... Paul is working fast! Paul: Is the title theme on Marble Craze based on "Virus" by KMFDM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Slocum Posted July 1, 2002 Share Posted July 1, 2002 Thanks guys! Actually the hard part is to get the game to not skip or slow down. I had to do part of the music processing during some unused scanlines at the end of the screen since the Berzerk game logic can use a lot of processor cycles at times. The Marble Craze title song was just something I made up. I've added to it a little since the last ROM I posted. I think the Marble Craze music will be my best yet. Doing cover songs limits you a bit, and Marble Craze will be all original music, so I can write songs that target the strengths of the 2600 sound circuits. I'm planning to have 3 songs in addition to the title song. -paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Gill Posted July 1, 2002 Share Posted July 1, 2002 I'll find out in a few days, The Goat Store just shipped my copy of Mr. Roboto. I thought Combat Rock was awesome, I still play it. (IMHO Combat rock was a better song.) -Chuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goatdan Posted July 1, 2002 Share Posted July 1, 2002 It's very, very enjoyable! I used to never play Mr. Robo... er.. Berzerk for the 2600, and now I find myself playing it for long peroids at a time. If anyone else wants a copy, we've got just a few more left -- get them while you can! http://www.goatstore.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moycon Posted July 2, 2002 Share Posted July 2, 2002 Just bought a copy. Man I love that song. It makes the game seem better somehow. I hope many more games like this are on the way! What about: Activisions Boxing with "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" Haunted House with "Thriller" Or how bout a song for Adventure. Anyways thanks guys!
