Same goes for Omicron. To mute them would be blasphemy OK, I see that I have dropped into the center of some strange cult where all of the members have some kind of strange Emperor's New Clothes type of ear disease. If you think the 'music' sounds great, that's fine, but I don't want to join your cult, so put your pamphlets away. There are already options to choose from, so I thought my question was perfectly valid. If I would have known this was a cult, I wouldn't have asked my perfectly valid question to avoid getting anyone's panties in a bunch, so please ignore my question and go back to dancing around a fire in the nude or whatever you do for fun.

+Nathan Strum Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Just turn the sound down in the emulator you're using. Not a big deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the question just seemed weird to most of us as the music is a definite highlight of the game and pretty complex for an atari game. also if you looked at the options it would seem pretty clear there is no "none" option. was the 4k version ever released separately? it seems most like the early 8k versions.

Tidegear Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Hey Seemo, I revised my original post from my blog Neo Backlash and now it's on RetroThing.com here! Thanks again for this great game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yuppicide Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Just downloaded the latest version. I've only played for a few seconds, since I am at work, but the game is freakin great! I will give it a more thorough playing once I get home later. I can't wait!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SpiceWare Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Retrospective(?): Lead 16k for the Atari 2600Ok, so this isn't technically much of a retrospective, but bear with me since the Atari 2600 is involved. There's a whole subculture of programmers who love programming for obsolete hardware. I'm sure anyone reading this blog can understand that there are several good reasons for such a hobby. Some do it for the challenge. Some do it out of love for their old hardware. One of the most interesting things that comes of this is the amazing ways that programmers can push hardware to it's limits. The beauty of these efforts doesn't always shine through to the surface but sometimes it does, as you will see in Lead 16k for the Atari 2600...

yuppicide Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 I tried this game out. Reminds me a little of Spider Fighter. Both 1k and 4k games are excellant. I love that there's options.. gives the game more replay value. Music is good too. The only thing I didn't like is the level with the rocks coming at you. It annoys me. Otherwise fantastic game!

Roth Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 I had to take the time to say, great job on this game! I really like the music aspect in it. Great fun, too! I would end up dying, but it wouldn't get me angry, more of a, "Oh crap!," kinda thing hehe Great work : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoyx Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Is there an online manual available for Lead? I have the cart, but the manual is lost somewhere in my world. Great game, just don't know what to do on the scramble level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+wongojack Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 I think I have the latest ROM on Harmony and in Stella. I have to say that the 1k version sounds awesome, but the 4k version sounds like sh!+. The rhythm just seems way too fast when I choose 4k from the menu. Is this normal? some kind of emulation problem? NTSC vs PAL? It kinda stopped me from purchasing on cart. What other differences are there when 4k is chosen from the menu? BTW, I think if this game had come out in '81 it would have been a HUGE seller! I mean what a great demo game this would have been in a computer store - incredible really.
