Miqorz Posted December 6, 2002 Share Posted December 6, 2002 Does anyone know when Sniderman's Atari 2600 homebrew game will be comeing out? Thanks in advance for any info. ~mike~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snider-man Posted December 6, 2002 Share Posted December 6, 2002 Howdy! It's still in the works. Not gonna make excuses: I've just kinda stalled out when it came to the sprites and really haven't had the time to do much recently. My website is the best place to check for updates. Here ya go: www.theravenousdead.areevil.com I had hoped to have it done by Halloween (or at least a semi-working kernel to display) but I've just been too busy to really do much else other than look longingly at my notes and mutter "I really gotta get this thing workin'...." I'm hopeful that a few weeks of vacation this Xmas season might see some progress I can crow about. I have not abandoned this by any means....I'm just a bit overwhelmed by life and the project itself. Hope this helps. Sniderman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snider-man Posted December 6, 2002 Share Posted December 6, 2002 Dammit! I've been double-posting a lot recently! Just so this isn't a total loss. "I like ham." Sniderman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NE146 Posted December 6, 2002 Share Posted December 6, 2002 I wouldn't expect anything from Sniderman.. he is a known slacker and SCAMMER of us good people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moycon Posted December 6, 2002 Share Posted December 6, 2002 Curse that Snider-man!!! I bet he made this whole " Ravenous Dead" game up. Quick, someone examine the screen-shots ala: Air World and see if this is another scam.... SOB was prolly gonna say he was only making one and try to charge $5,000 on ebay. Man This really burns my beans. Grrrrrrrrrr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cupcakus Posted December 6, 2002 Share Posted December 6, 2002 Poor Snider-Man... ya know if you all sent him money he'd probably finish it :-) When homebew programming quickly turn from fun and interesting, to work, most authors just hang up the game in the closet and forget about it.... Where's his motivation???? Maybe if we all pitch in and send him a ham he'll finish it up for us? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Cafeman Posted December 6, 2002 Share Posted December 6, 2002 I am working on a game for 2600 called Ravenous: Yellow Dead, which will completely rip off SNider-Man's late late homebrew. Note the winky -- i yam kidding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snider-man Posted December 6, 2002 Share Posted December 6, 2002 Damn! When will the spankings end? Tell ya what. Send me money in advance for production purposes and I'll finish it right up, make them, and mail them out. "The Core?" "Junie's Creations?" What're those? Never heard of 'em. Anyway, this is not vaporware. It's more like "draggin'-my-ass-ware." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cupcakus Posted December 6, 2002 Share Posted December 6, 2002 I think even the fumes from the Vapor have blown away and now all we're left with is our broken hearts.... :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Atari Posted December 6, 2002 Share Posted December 6, 2002 I can't wait till you release this, Snider. I needs me living dead fix on the 2600! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanJr Posted December 6, 2002 Share Posted December 6, 2002 I will send you a percentage of the sale price EQUAL to the game's completion percentage (I figure I can spare a nickel or two ) Who wants to place bets that ALL of the games on that list Snider-man posted will be released BEFORE the "Ravenous Dead.?" Takers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEBRO Posted December 6, 2002 Share Posted December 6, 2002 I would like to know the status of the following 2600 games:Climber 5 Awwwww, crap. Climber 5 is going through a recode. I'm using the prototype as a skeleton but I'm trying to rewrite it to conserve ROM space. I'm also trying to implement suggestions from the Stella list. BTW Tim, I started looking into doing Climber 5 because of you When you pulled Futurama I wanted to see if I could get a game done for the CCAG since it was going to be my first classic gaming event. As you can see I'm WAY off schedule. What was the quote you used..."It'll take 2 weeks" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
