Lord Thag Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 I picked up Wizard of Wor and Galagon as well. Both are outstanding ports. The former has like 99 levels, and is probably now the definitive home version, better even than the Astrocade port. Galagon is something I never in a million years thought I'd be playing on a 2600. Throw in Mappy, Draconian, Scramble etc. and we are truly living in a new 2600 golden age in terms of game quality. 10 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/152536-galaga-for-atari-2600/page/13/#findComment-4376909 Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasperAK Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 I just got my new Harmony Encore cart today, and I just played the Demo v2. I never would have imagined this game. I am looking forward to getting the cart proper. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/152536-galaga-for-atari-2600/page/13/#findComment-4385371 Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveD Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 The dual labels are also meant to be a nod to the gameplay. I've always thought that, depending on whether or not you have dual ships in the game, it can really feel like you're playing a different game. Single ship doesn't have the firepower but you feel more nimble and you're a trickier target. Dual ships give you more firepower and a feeling of invincibility. But it also makes you a bigger target. So we made a label for each style! 3 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/152536-galaga-for-atari-2600/page/13/#findComment-4391815 Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenJ Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Both are truly excellent...very difficult choice. BTW: I hope the game can be purchased without the box.

Green set with the right artwork. Think that might look best IMO. Both color versions of the logo are used on the box, poster and manual should they should all go together as a set. We went with the same end label for everything to keep things easier for production and to keep Al from going crazy trying to mix and match everything.

I've looked into it before, it's not really too expensive but the quality of the labels would certainly be significantly lower than a normal, glossy label. Might be interesting for a project where the goal was to have a lenticular label from the onset. Or maybe make a "Special Edition" of a game that uses lenticular labels. ..Al 2 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/152536-galaga-for-atari-2600/page/13/#findComment-4392100 Share on other sites More sharing options...
