Witchfynde Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 "Eh, Just Buy It Anyway" Yeah, "We Paid For the License, So Buy the Game...and E. T.!". Since they were "video wafers" that you ate or whatever, maybe Wafer Waddle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Room 34 Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 You know, the ultimate, bitter irony here is that Tod Frye (no offense) cranked out a lame piece of crap and got a million-dollar check for it, but Warren Robinett created a revolutionary work of genius ("Adventure") and only got paid his $22,000 annual salary.

MegaManFan Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 You know, the ultimate, bitter irony here is that Tod Frye (no offense) cranked out a lame piece of crap and got a million-dollar check for it, but Warren Robinett created a revolutionary work of genius ("Adventure") and only got paid his $22,000 annual salary. Ah, but at least Robinett got revenge by being the first Atari programmer to put his name in a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acelkin Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 I vote for "Box-Man" or "Blahc-Man". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MegaManFan Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 I just had a great idea: Strip a POS Pac-Man that still works clean, and apply a new label with a picture of a red hot Ferrari to the front. The end label can read "What This Paid For." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZylonBane Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 I always thought Maze Muncher or Ghost Gobbler was appropriate... But only in a boring, missing-the-spirit-of-the-thread way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NE146 Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 sorta off-topic-ish.. but did you guys ever see that hack of arcade Puckman into 2600 pacman? ..Playable in Mame: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooterb23 Posted March 21, 2003 Share Posted March 21, 2003 a little off topic too, but Zylon, do you always have to be a prick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZylonBane Posted March 21, 2003 Share Posted March 21, 2003 sorta off-topic-ish.. but did you guys ever see that hack of arcade Puckman into 2600 pacman? ..Playable in Mame: Woah! Where'd you snag that? For a while I've been thinking of making a "If Tod Frye had been given 8K" mockup of PacMan, and this pretty much looks exactly like what I had in mind.

NE146 Posted March 21, 2003 Share Posted March 21, 2003 Woah! Where'd you snag that? Why here you go (see attached) Rename it to "puckman.zip" and play it in mame. You'll get some crc error warnings but it should work fine once you get past that. Jerky's arcade hacks were the place to get all these cool roms.. but he closed shop a while ago. They still work but sometimes you gotta tweak them or add a couple of files in them since mame has changed so much since then: http://www.fraggersxtreme.com/~jerky/ pac2600.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vic George 2K3 Posted March 21, 2003 Share Posted March 21, 2003 There's MisfitMAME, which was specifically programmed to play arcade game hacks. (Anyone for Donkey Kong 2600? LOL) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Video Posted March 24, 2003 Share Posted March 24, 2003 How about "Pixel Power", since everything's pixelated as hell (even by Atari's standards) Or, me and my friends favorite, "Round Squareboy" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
