roryjr Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 (edited) Al should have the boxes soon, so we're getting closer to release date. I haven't played in a while so decided to see how well I could do: Can anybody beat 63,000 with the default settings? NO I CAN'T !!! I tried and will try again soon. I do prefer the solid rocks, though. That is the only default setting that I change. Edited June 18, 2013 by roryjr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SpiceWare Posted June 19, 2013 Author Share Posted June 19, 2013 At least somebody's trying. For me it depends on the display. When I use my 2600 w/S-Video on my C=1084S I prefer vector style graphics. On my 7800 hooked up to a 13" TV I prefer solid as vector style doesn't show up as well.

Zoyx Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 (edited) I gave it a try... I barely got over 10k. Love the game, though. I was using shields instead of hyperspace anyway. BTW: Any idea when this game will be ready for the Atari Age store? Edited June 19, 2013 by Zoyx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roryjr Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Hey, does this support AtariVox? For high scores and all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SpiceWare Posted June 19, 2013 Author Share Posted June 19, 2013 BTW: Any idea when this game will be ready for the Atari Age store? Sure don't, I'm impatiently waiting like the rest of you. Hey, does this support AtariVox? For high scores and all. No, it supports 2 concurrent players which precludes the use of the AtariVox. I do plan for Frantic to support the AtariVox.

I haven't played in a while so decided to see how well I could do: Can anybody beat 63,000 with the default settings? Do you prefer a standard joystick, or one of the button controllers, like the Starplex, that mimics the 'Rocks arcade brethren? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I have a Starplex, I tend to use a joystick or multibutton gamepad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accousticguitar Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 I don't think I have the latest rom but I played the default settings for 20120513 and broke 100,000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianC Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 That's not the latest rom. The latest one is here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SpiceWare Posted July 20, 2013 Author Share Posted July 20, 2013 That's an extremely early version of the game, it's from less than a month along in a project that took 8 months to finish. Looks like Space Rocks will be officially released at the Portland Retro Gaming Expo. I'm now considering attending it. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPUWIZ made it, he's doing a limited run of 5 controllers (they'll be available when Space Rocks is released). Mine is not one of those 5. I don't know if he'll make the overlay available to others to put on their own Starplex controller. The overlay is a sticker, just peel off the back and position it carefully. Here's what it looked like before I applied it: Edited July 21, 2013 by SpiceWare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Already have a couple of Starplex controllers. Really hope CPU will release just the stickers for reasonable. And really looking forward to this boxed release! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And really looking forward to this boxed release! Ditto. And I have a stickerless one also. I don't need yet another one, but if I have to sell some I'd rather get the Space Rocks controller.
