+Living Room Arcade Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 (edited) 1 hour ago, Atariboy said: The mode in 2600 Canyon Bomber is definitely thematically a bit different, but gameplay wise I strongly believe that they were out to bring Destroyer home to the 2600 with the gameplay mechanic that both share of having to set the depth that the bomb will explode at (which in the 2600's case is a mechanic that doesn't really make sense if you're just dropping a bomb on a surface ship; it would've been more logical if it was themed so that you were dropping depth charges from a helicopter to attack submerged targets). I see what you mean. That's easy. Let's add Sea Bomber to Destroyer in "Not Arcade, But Similar" because they both have that mechanism where you set the depth. And let's also remove Sea Bomber from Bombs Away in "Not Arcade But Similar," since Bombs Away doesn't have that mechanism where you set the depth.

I posted the Cosmic Avenger scrolling demo here: I made it for John to help get him up to speed with writing DPC+ and ARM games. Move your ship left/right to adjust the scrolling speed. If you move up/down you'll go offscreen, but will eventually wrap around to the other side. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, then, Mr. Spice, @SpiceWare, as far as you know, we need not look any more for the ROM for Cosmic Avenger for Atari 2600 because the ROM doesn't exist, the game was never completed. Is that correct? Edited May 16 by Living Room Arcade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to believe that was almost 9 years ago! @Nathan Strum and I have talked about finishing (well, really starting) Cosmic Avenger one day to cross it off of the list of games in that infamous Coleco 2600 catalog that were never completed (or even started for some of them). We knocked off Lady Bug (a couple of times ) and Cosmic Avenger would be fun to program! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
