Animan Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Just curious. I'm too lazy to type my favorites up, and I'm horrible at picking favorites anyway . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dauber Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Don't have a favorite...the ones I have are all simply fantastic... Most addicting is probably Toyshop Trouble. Most impressive in terms of accuracy is Ladybug, for sure. Seriously, if you're not careful, you might not be able to tell the difference between the VCS version and the arcade version. Strat-O-Gems Deluxe makes great use of the voice synthesis module if you have one (which I don't) but otherwise still an awesome game that should have existed back in the day. Medieval Mayhem is what Warlords SHOULD have been. I know I have more, but my brain is burnt out right now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trent Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I don't have a favorite programmer but I've noticed lots of games Nathan Strum are involved with have a certain personality/character that set them apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariBrian Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 (edited) I would agree, the most addicting is Toyshop Trouble. LEAD is one of the best. Falldown is good as is Conquest Of Mars but its so damn hard. Does Evil Magician Returns and Epic Adventure count they are homebrews.

+save2600 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Strum's a cool cat to be sure. If I wasn't pulled in so many different directions the last 15 years, I'd certainly have more to contribute to this hobby. Review-wise especially. Anywho... there are some really, *really* good programmers here hanging out. Top notch guys that easily rival those from back in the day. Some are even working on a conversion of Star Castle, that I *knew* could and would be done by someone not looking to make an arse of themselves in such a community. There's simply too many great games that have been produced the last 6-8 years to list and talk about. Plenty of other threads here on AA to resonate this if you do a search. OR just browse the AA store. Pretty much anything with a pretty label is worth buying. Seriously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Nathan Strum Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 My ears are burning, but in a good way. Thanks for the compliments. I've been fortunate to have been able to work with a whole bunch of extremely talented programmers. I couldn't write a line of code to save my life, but it's a lot of fun being able to contribute where I can. It never ceases to amaze me the new levels they can push the 2600 to.

Keatah Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 (edited) I don't know that I have a favorite list of games, let alone programmers or homebrews. There's just so much available! I suppose, if forced, I would have to say the ones that have been made available for little to no cost, and have good gameplay. That's a generalization. But it will have to do. I do have an affinity for the games published in the first 2 catalogs. Edited April 29, 2012 by Keatah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Gemintronic Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 See, the problem here is that my favorite homebrewers are such because of my interaction with them rather than their games - this includes YOU Animan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
