+TrekMD Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I will patiently wait until the final version that you want to release is created. This version now is fun to play and I'll enjoy it on the emulator until the cartridges are out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenfused Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 (edited) If YOU really want to spend the time redoing the game you should do so. I think the game is still most excellent in its current form (as evidenced by the number of people wanting cartridges). I am guessing the original game used a bitmap screen and the 7800 is not actually overflowing with RAM to do so. I am guessing you could save RAM by making everything white and have people tape color overlays onto there screen for a more arcade like experience .

shadow460 Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I never played the current version. I'm just a fan of Bob and the work he does. Ain't no limit, Bob. Do whatcha want with it, and if you can make the carts, we'll buy 'em! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamakazi Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Best of luck to you! Let me know when it's completed. I'm learning as well, if I find anything out, I'll send it your way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
potatohead Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I second Gorf's post. Absolutely do it the best way you know how. Really, these things are a labor of love. Why not? Your current version is top-notch, BTW. Love it, and would easily buy a cart. Good job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now there's a great idea - why should the Vectrex have all that fun to itself, the 7800 has gone without overlays for too long! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrizzLee Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 making everything white and have people tape color overlays onto there screen for a more arcade like experience . Now there's a great idea - why should the Vectrex have all that fun to itself, the 7800 has gone without overlays for too long! I agree with overlays. I actually made a modified version of SI and Asteroids for the 2600 with a everything green. I put some colored overlays on the monitor for ginrs and I was blown away by the nostalgic look. It ook the edges off the intesity. BTW: If the reservation list is on again. I must have a copy Thanks, -Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the.golden.ax Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Now that the old version is being killed off, I'd be happy to buy any of those ten copies that anyone no longer wants... you know... because it's obsolete now. See, you don't need it anymore. So sell it to me. AX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

godzillajoe Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 So I finally got around to trying the final rom with mess 0.126 Kinda goes to hell after about 3 seconds of game play I'm guessing this is something out of sync on my end and no one else has seen this?
