Albert Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Will you lead? Find the answer by travelling through the 20 tunnels of Lead, where you'll have to fire at incoming enemies, dodge deadly asteroids, scramble past menacing sentinels and catch wandering satellites to survive, and finally prove to yourself that you can do it. Lead is a fast paced action game created by Simone Serra, whose first Atari 2600 homebrew release was the unique collection of puzzle and rhythm games in Sync. AtariAge and Simone Serra are sponsoring a contest to create original artwork for Lead. This label artwork will appear on all copies of Lead, which will be released at the beginning of December in the AtariAge Store. This artwork will also be featured on the cover of the manual created for Lead. You can learn more about the contest and how to enter by clicking the following link: Lead Label Contest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoyx Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 (edited) Is there a .bin file for our emulators? Some designers probably would like to play the game before making a label. Edited September 22, 2008 by Zoyx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Nathan Strum Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 The current binary is available here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Ragan Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Personally, I was thinking of a spiraling, roller coaster-like loop in space, stretching out toward a wormhole set in the distance. It's kind of hard to explain, but it would look like a cross between a Cedar Point ride and the old arcade game Tempest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godzilla Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Soooo.... when this cart is finished, where oh where will it be sold??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Nathan Strum Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 eBay. Albert's plan is to just eBay everything from now on. Drive up demand, increase the price, sell one or two at a huge profit, then repeat every few months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the.golden.ax Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Hmn. I gotta get some better programs, I made mine with windows paintbrush on windows 3.1 (yes, really). AX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LS_Dracon Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 (edited) Ivan's label gets my vote for sure. Tnx Hmn. I gotta get some better programs, I made mine with windows paintbrush on windows 3.1 (yes, really). I use an old photoshop (6.0), for me not worth buy a new version, I recomend previous photoshop versions (5.0 up to 7.0) for people that need a quick and professional program, my case. And these old photoshop are faster I have mine for years! But I don't know if run in windows 3.1...

the.golden.ax Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 I have XP SP2 as well, I bought an old copy of 4.0 that DID work on XP, I hadn't used it in over a year and now it said out of memory when trying to load (but I'm not out of memory). It would certainly help. I love using paintbrush though, as a teen I pushed it to the limits and did stuff with it no one could do at the time without big money and machines.
