Love it I suck at it but its got that "just one more game" playability Great Work Bob your carts are the best for the 7800 I played your Super Circus on my Wii with Wi7800 I may not have an XM yet but will buy the cart when available Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VicViper Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Man, I stopped reading this thread cuz I thought it would be XM exclusive, I check back and carts are already shipped! GAH!

atarian63 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 got mine! left it at the office though.. :mad: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Cafeman Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 (edited) Popped it in again tonight. After scoring under 1000 for like 15 tries, I finally beat all the levels to the point your get a reward tune and the pattern loops around again . Felt good. My 7800's graphic clarity suffers a bit (default composite connection to the TV). I watched the emulator-sourced youtube vid and only then did I realize that each ship has a I, II, and III on them! These just look like blurry boxes in the center of the ships on my set. Also, isn't it true that the 7800's audio is mono? My 7800's sound must be wacked a bit, it emulates stereo sound! some sounds will only play on the right channel now & then (not just on this game). It actually fools my ears into thinking I hear stereo. It's pretty cool and I think its just an inadvertent sound effect, thought I'd share it.

KevinMos3 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Mine was waiting on me when I got home today. I must ask... how, Bob, did you know to time it to arrive on a night when I had so much homework??? Such a cruel joke! Downright evil, I say.

doyman Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Mine was also waiting on me when I got home today. In the same boat as KevinMos3, too much other stuff around the house to give it a good workout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PacManPlus Posted October 27, 2011 Author Share Posted October 27, 2011 Thanks, all of you. I'm glad you enjoy the game. I very much appreciate all of the kind words.

DarthCloud Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Got mine today , really nice and hard game! Best run so far: 5900. I never pay attention when the enemy go to the bottom of the screen. They always hit my in the back when they loop back up :@ lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Thag Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Well, since I have a nice, mint cocktail Moon Cresta cab sitting about four feet from my 7800, I think I can speak with some authority that this is one hell of a close port. Other than the ol' 7800 sound chip sounding slightly different (that it sounds as good as it does is impressive), this is one superbly done port. Which comes as no surprise by now I'm particularly impressed with the accuracy of the enemy movements, by which I mean the damned cart is every bit as cheap and annoying as the arcade All in all, this is one of my favorite games Bob has done, right up there with the Pac Man Collection and Co. Great stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cebus Capucinis Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Phoenix next please I can't help but notice you didn't actually say "Satan's Hollow next, please. " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zonie Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Oooh. Satan's Hollow would be a good one. How about a perfect clone of Galaxian? That one has never been done well on ANY console or computer. Love the sound effects on that one. i really takes me back. then there is star castle...
