enthusi Posted August 22, 2016 Author Share Posted August 22, 2016 Yes, the retro-hall was pretty relaxed in comparison to the modern madness in the other ones... MANY people either held the sticks the wrong direction (in particular the competition pros) or kept the stick standing there, touched it and were puzzled when it fell over It was great fun - all ages and sexes seemed to have enjoyed it. (and I was lucky I implemented a nice title tune as it was very audible throughout our area Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/216403-new-game-assembloids-2600/page/4/#findComment-3576990 Share on other sites More sharing options...

enthusi Posted September 23, 2016 Author Share Posted September 23, 2016 in fact that happened ALOT. Some even played that well.

AW127 Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Great! I like the game alot on the C64, so i am happy that there is a Atari VCS-2600 version too. One question. There is no PAL60 version to choose from. So i suppose, the PAL-version is speed-adjusted? And how is it with the black borders? Or means PAL-version here PAL60?

enthusi Posted July 17, 2017 Author Share Posted July 17, 2017 Hi, we produced two independent binaries for PAL and NTSC. Of course we tuned the game timer speed to the 60 or 50 Hz But we also chose a set of colors that we liked most for each video system. I.e. the PAL screen has a blue theme. There is no black letter box either since for PAL the playfield as such is stretched. The game is FULL SCREEN in NTSC and PAL. I attach a few emulation shots for PAL and below you see a short clip of someone playing the game (quite good) in PAL: Cheers Martin Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/216403-new-game-assembloids-2600/page/4/#findComment-3807408 Share on other sites More sharing options...

enthusi Posted November 13, 2017 Author Share Posted November 13, 2017 McCallister sent me some video footage of one of his plays: Thanks alot That is pretty amazing and hopefully an inspiration to others. At such high scores the creatures 'cycle' through. So I only show the part when his game ends and no later creatures are revealed. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/216403-new-game-assembloids-2600/page/4/#findComment-3889497 Share on other sites More sharing options...

enthusi Posted November 16, 2017 Author Share Posted November 16, 2017 Yes, this makes me really happy.We spent very long to polish the game play and overall code. As this is no clone of some well known classic or otherwise popular game, it means alot to me when it gets recognized.

AW127 Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 And its true: 'chicks' really dig this I can confirm this. Puzzle games are always like a magnet for my former girlfriends. "Bust a move (Puzzle Bobble)", "Dr. Mario", "Tetris", "Puyo Puyo" and this game here also. But i must confess, i also like the most of these games alot. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/216403-new-game-assembloids-2600/page/4/#findComment-3892531 Share on other sites More sharing options...
