Combat II Advanced Cartridge

[ziggystar]

So What does everyone think of their Combat II Cart that got one? I have only sent 25 to Albert and he's only sold half. I'm not going to make anymore of the gold label ones so you better pick them up while you can. I've got 25 more here so that will make 50. I guess 100 was too many. Let me know what you think of the game. Everybody I've heard from says they like it.

 

Thanks!

I just ordered mine!

 

I't sure looks good from the Descriptions/Screenshots!

 

I'll let you know once I receive it

I haven't purchased it yet because I'm so busy finishing my own game's manufacturing, but I think it looks very nice visually, from screen shots.

 

I see you not only put tanks but also jets and submarines!

 

Here are some cold hard questions for you!

 

1. Is there a "Vs the computer" 1-player mode?

 

2. Are ricocheting shots in the tank version? I loved those in the 2600 orginal. If not, what kinds of shots are there, are any guided?

[ziggystar]

There is a Computer Player In One Player mode.

 

Due to the way the new game works, there are no ricocheting shots but there are heat seeking missles, machine guns and other fun weapons. Also in Combat 1 Scoring mode when the players get shot they spin around and bounce to another location on screen like in C1.

I will be ordering the game after the holidays.

Cool! I just wondered if maybe people didn't realize it was for sale!

I knew it was for sale, but there are so many quality homebrews these days. Just in the last few months I've bought Marble Craze, Thrust+, QB, and Koffi.

 

So I would like to continue to support the 5200 homebrew scene but I was waiting for some reviews of your game, the one thing that really sold me on Koffi was the demos that were released. I knew it was fun and would play it more than just keep it on the shelf. That would help me buy Combat II sooner, but if you decided not to release it then it would take some more recommendations from trusted players for me to buy it.

 

The cart label and the screens look great by the way, but that doesn't make me run out and buy

[ziggystar]

You know, I have considered releasing demos that way. I am doing it on my next game. In fact, it's availiable now. But thats an old bin. I think I will be posting my new bins to a forum so I can get feed back as I work.

 

Thanks for the input.

thanks for the reply. I think a demo will only speed up the buying process for me. Your games look great so I'll eventually pick them up regardless

After playing the game several more times, I like the graphics/levels a lot. Moving the tank has proven difficult at times, regardless of what type of joystick I use. I hope to see more homebrews from you in the future for the 5200. It's nice to see what Atari could have done with this system had they put it out earlier.

Here is an early version Demo of the game you can try. It has some bugs and isn't complete, but you'll get the idea of how it plays.

 

Let me know what you think!

I plan on buying one, but right now I am spending my money on my kids Christmas. I hope to order one in the next month or two.

I'm also in the "no money before the holidays, but can hopefully buy it after" camp...
