s0c7 Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 I had hoped to work on this a little more before the 4th, but it doesn't look like I'll have time. So... For those in the US - Happy Independence Day (a little early). It should be obvious how to play. If you can make it past 1781 you will "win". (Yes, I know the war didn't end until 1783, but nothing much happened after 1781). 1775.bin 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gateway Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Very cool! Especially the guys on horseback! Is this game politically correct? Who cares! It's fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s0c7 Posted July 2, 2007 Author Share Posted July 2, 2007 (edited) Very cool! Especially the guys on horseback! Is this game politically correct? Who cares! It's fun! Thanks! Glad you are enjoying it. No offense intended to our cousins across the pond. History and all that... Anybody have any suggestions to make it better? Maybe a option to play as the British?

+Nathan Strum Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Makes for a nice mini-game. Maybe start the graphics out even smaller in the distance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impaler_26 Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 I don't find the theme of the game interesting but it's nicely made and fun to play! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's really the best compliment I could hope for since it was written for a domestic audience. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit 2600 Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Great fun! Someone should make Doom =D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classiccollector Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 I know this is a old topic but thought I would comment how fun it is, My kids are enjoying it anyways. Thanks for sharing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s0c7 Posted July 28, 2013 Author Share Posted July 28, 2013 (edited) Thanks! Glad to hear people are still playing and enjoying it. Has anybody managed to beat the game? I had a request a while back for a PAL version. If you live in a PAL country, you can get the PAL-60 version here: http://atariage.com/...s/#entry2157290 Edited August 4, 2013 by s0c7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s0c7 Posted June 15, 2014 Author Share Posted June 15, 2014 I still see this game get referenced on rare occasions in other threads. Glad to know there are still people playing it 7 years later. The original was quickly thrown together to get it done before the 4th back in '07. I thought I might come back to it one day, but I never got around to it. I don't have much time for retrogaming activities these days, but with Independence Day coming up and it being the 7th anniversary of the game, I thought I'd spruce it up a little. I've made a few minor tweaks that probably won't be noticeable. People seem to like the gameplay, so I left that as is. The biggest additon is it now keeps high score. When you are in game over mode, it will switch between your score (white) and the high score (green). Again, this is not meant to promote war or violence. The guys are cartoony and they turn into point values. If the 2600 had come out in time for the bicentennial (1976), I could easily see something like this having been released. The were several patriotic-themed pinball machines from around that time. 1775_v2.bin 1775_v2_pal60.bin 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DT Kofoed Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Still fun. Thanks for the Tweak! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s0c7 Posted July 2, 2019 Author Share Posted July 2, 2019 That time of the year again. For those in the US, ignore all the political nonsense going on, have a beer and hot dog and play a quick round of this. Happy 4th! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PengPeng0118 Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Love the game! Downloaded and played ntsc_v2 version on my Atari portable and the leftmost score digit matches the thousands place, not a big deal just wanted to mention. Also is this cover art made by you s0c7, on this website? I attached the image also. Thanks for making a fun game that people are enjoying almost 16 years later! https://thegamesdb.net/game.php?id=98700 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I didn't make that label. It's new to me. The Flashback Portable is known to have certain emulation problems. If you play in Stella or on real hardware, it should display normally. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as the artwork, someone probably created it with the 2600labelmaker website and uploaded the info to thegamesdb website to track it on the Gameye app. BTW, on the Atari Flashback X console, there's a different box artwork but it probably was added by the owner.
