Retro Lord Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Steer with the joystick, avoid the other racers, or shoot them with your missiles. Speed up with the speed boosts and refill the clock with the energy points. DOWNLOAD - Wipeout 2600.bin 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhomaios Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Don't get sued! I don't have a SD cart, so I can't play the bin, but I love the idea (and the screenshot)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flojomojo Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Works great on my Nvidia Shield with 2600.emu. I can almost hear the Chemical Brothers. Almost. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karokoenig Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Took the liberty to try it out. 182 points :-). You gonna develop this further? If yes, I suggest tweaking the shooting a little. As it is now, it's way too delayed and slow. By the time the missile is on its way, opponents usually have already passed you. I never hit a thing, no matter how hard I tried. Kinda fun, apart from that. It's a working game for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro Lord Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 Sure I can still do some work on it. As long as I keep getting suggestions on improvements I can do something. I'll fix the missiles. Hang on! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karokoenig Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Nice. It's possible to actually hit something now, which is always great . But the explosions re-enter the track from the top. Is that supposed to happen? Also, I think I lost a life from hitting the re-entering explosion, but I'm not sure about it. Is there an end to the race programmed in now? It just stopped several times, despite the fact that I had lives left. Went back to the title screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro Lord Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 Hm, those are bugs, I'll get to fixing them, thanks for the report! There is no end to the game. However, if the time's up the race is up, even if you have lives left. Refilling the timer is the key to winning the race. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arenafoot Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 is it possible for multiple shots? instead of one at a time....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro Lord Posted February 20, 2015 Author Share Posted February 20, 2015 That is sadly not possible, the best I can do is speed up the missile. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K.Michael Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Love Wipe Out, if this gets developed further, and gets a cart release I'll buy it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro Lord Posted February 21, 2015 Author Share Posted February 21, 2015 If you have ideas on what else to incorporate I'll see what I can do. I added all I can think of at the moment. And I found the source of the glitch where enemy racers explode prematurely while offscreen sometimes, just need to figure out how to fix it now =) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karokoenig Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 A timer would be good, and an end to the race, or checkpoints. Player vs. player split screen race, while you're at it :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerSpaceFan Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 I am guessing this game wouldn't also have a paddle / driving controller mode would it? I realize those controllers are kinda limited for inputs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro Lord Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 Hm, paddlecontrollers I have never done before. I'm afraid this is as good as this game's gonna get. I'll put it on hold for a while. I need too learn some more things before I can do any more changes. When I get more experienced I'll continue working on it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Loguidice Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 (edited) I'm still holding on to the VipEut dream for Vectrex...... Wow, if that's real then that has the best visuals to animation combo I've ever seen on the Vectrex. EDIT: Never mind, I see that it's running on a PC and is only meant to loosely simulate/bring to mind a Vectrex, which it really doesn't do a good job of since it's not an accurate reflection of its capabilities.

50TBRD Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 There's a lot of experimentation currently with arduino and using the Vectrex to simply display graphics rather than calculations and processing. Not entirely out of the realm of possibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+SpiceWare Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 There's a lot of experimentation currently with arduino and using the Vectrex to simply display graphics rather than calculations and processing. Not entirely out of the realm of possibility. Sounds like what we've been doing on the Atari where we offload calculations to the ARM inside the Harmony/Melody cartridge. Not much different than stuff done back in the day with Activision's DPC used for Pitfall 2 (DPC calculates the sprite data and 3-voice digital music) or the multitude of mappers used for NES games.
