What's the latest on Circus AtariAge? Is it going back in development? I thought it was shelved...

Super Circus AtariAge has been completed for a while. I am just waiting for an XM to test the game on real hardware before anything happens.

 

Hey Bob. Do you plan on selling these in the AA store or is this the only run?

If Al will have them, yes they will be in the store eventually.

 

I thought it was going to be an XM game and didn't realize it would be done so fast. Any more coming? Do you need donor carts? I really wanted one of these...

Thanks! I put you on a waiting list for people who want a game but were not on the initial list. So far I have 10 people who originally wanted one but have not paid. I will send them a PM and I I don't hear from them I will start with the 'waiting' list.

 

Thanks again.

Bob

Just tell me when to send the money!!!

Got mine tonight, have already played the holy crap out of it, love it! Thanks a ton Bob!!

Part of me wishes you _hadn't_ gotten the enemy movement down right; this game's a real trial! But of course I'm too stubborn to bump down the difficulty, too. ;)

In all seriousness though, it's amazing. It definitely gives Galaga 7800 a run for its money as the best shooter I've played on 7800. Tons of replay value, great sound effects all around, it's just perfect. A+!

Same thing as Curious Sofa, got mine today and played at least 20 rounds.

 

First impressions: I have never played Moon Cresta before so I don't know how close to the coin-op it is, but this game is a class act. The enemy movement drives me bonkers trying to figure it out! The graphics have that authentic early-80's space shooter look to them, complete with a high resolution and the quick animation and scrolling starfield. I am surpised , nothing shoots, yet I still don't survive long!

 

I like the sounds too. I scored about 6,000 at my highest. I enjoy the docking stage too, although I usually die quickly after I get my double shots. But I like the challenge. Its already one of my favorite 7800 games. I love these types of early vertical shooters and I'm happy to find this one that I never played before. Great job Bob!

I have this cart and played the real arcade machine last night at a nearby arcade. The game play is so close I am able to get better scores on the real arcade game thanks to my time on the 7800 version. Also love the docking sequence but its a teaser as I never live long in double stacked configuration

 

Easily Bob's finest work to date.

You're near a real arcade that has Moon Cresta? May I ask where this magical place is??? (Fun Spot perchance?)

Got my cart last night and got to show Lord Thag as well(visiting me). Hands down best shooter on the system, and on of the best arcade conversions done by PacManPlus yet. Over 25 years after the system came out, fans are treated to wonderful projects like this. Truly an amazing job on this project...

WOW - thank you for all of the kind words, guys. I really appreciate it. :love:

 

Here's the video for the gameplay:

@remowilliams - you've been added to the waiting list

@iesposta - you've also been added to the waiting list.

 

Thanks again, guys - it means a lot to me.

I received my copy in the mail a few days ago, and wow! It really is incredible! Moon Cresta is a game that I love but am absolutely terrible at, and your 7800 version evokes all the feelings of joy and frustration I expect from Moon Cresta. It's perfect! Great job! I was going to post some footage, or a "review" of it on YouTube, but, I really am awful at this game. lol
