Ignorama Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 But the game is identical to yours! And both games are pretty identical to Jetpac for the Sinclair ZX Spectrum 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catsfolly Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Rev and his Intellivision coloured . I like the Intellivision graphics better too. The Intellivision graphics (as well as I can remember them from the last update), reflect a consistent style and look. The Jaquar graphics are more colorful and there are more moving things on the screen, but they look a little like pictures cut out of magazines and pasted together. The style and lighting and scale of the graphics don't all match, in my opinion. Also, I don't want a brightly colored background making it harder to see the bad guys. Simple is best.

The Jaguar version looks a bit "flat" in design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh3-rg Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Thanks for all the nice comments, Inty fans, maybe we should have left it at the crappy direct-from-spectrum version from 18 years ago 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ignorama Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 @ sh3-rg You dont release the game on cart, so dont expect much love for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intymike Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Agreed. The Jaguar version looks a bit "flat" in design. That's perfect Jaguar game design. Even 90% of the commercial games back then looked that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sh3-rg Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 @ sh3-rg You dont release the game on cart, so dont expect much love for it So if we had a cart... and it came in a box... I don't think we could handle all that love ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ignorama Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 (edited) So if we had a cart... and it came in a box... I don't think we could handle all that love ) I just want a cart, because I dont like Disk games. Box and manual are nice additions, but not needed. I cant even play Disk games on the Jag, because I dont own a Jag CD and I never going to buy one (because I dont like CD-games ^^). And dont take it personally, but Disks are much more loveless then Cartridges. Edited June 9, 2013 by Ignorama Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GroovyBee Posted June 9, 2013 Author Share Posted June 9, 2013 Mystery Musician's title sequence music is now in the game. Both nonner242 and I love it and think it fits the game very well. Now the title music is done I can finish off more of the bells and whistles because I know how much ROM space there is left. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nonner242 Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Enough room left for digitized box art...? I dunno why....i cant help myself!.? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GroovyBee Posted June 10, 2013 Author Share Posted June 10, 2013 Enough room left for digitized box art...? Yes! As long as the box art can be represented by an 8x8 sprite . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nonner242 Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 I could do it...but will anyone really know what it is without buying the yet unreleased Groovy Bee Iware Rezolutronizer scaling HD glasses for the intelli? We should save that for a future release I think. Or at least until you finish up the 32XM extreme itelli add on. But your DA boss...your call. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rev Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 You two go get a room. :-) Anyway, what is this about box art? Stop teasing us!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gorfcadet Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 8x8 box art..... hmm. Maybe if it was an expressionist style thing. Nah. Looking good GB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh3-rg Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Apologies to GB to begin with ;O) Reboot have obviously been going about things all the wrong way for years now and it's only recently that we realised this. crusty old 8bitters say our games suck because they're not bold and beautiful, elitist master race 64bitters say our games suck because they're 8bit crap. Due to our epiphany, we're now able to present FC: Rocketeer as it always should have been, with all those superfluous 56 bits removed and disposed of: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x973vNlBIMY And yes, it's available on cart in a box. And with the true spirit of past Jaguar releases, we've not forgotten to gouge away like Frank Black (well, not really like him, but still). Half Circle: 8biteer is now available and only announced in this thread and then through PM to myself. Price is $500 per copy, strictly limited to 3 copies* Enjoy playing like it's 1982 again! * These three copies might be added to as an when we discover them hidden under the bed years from now for further and extended price gouging, one copy per year** ** actually, why limit it to one copy per year when there's MONEY TO BE MADE?! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ignorama Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 (edited) Why are you so mortified? Because some people dont like your game? Thats the business and I dont think you can expect everyone to love 80s gameplay with good graphics on a 90s console. By the way: The Intellivision has 16 Bits, DO THE MATH!!!

Feeli a slight breeze by your ear? Yep, thought so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
