winkdot Posted March 13, 2015 Author Share Posted March 13, 2015 To me it seems like the flippers need some work.....especially when both are hit at the same time. Its like they both will not respond when pressed at the same time - its either left OR right and not both. Hey Arenafoot. If the left difficulty is set to A, the joystick up which fires both flippers is disabled. If set to B, joystick left = left flipper, joystick right = right flipper and joystick up fires both flippers. B is the easier choice. Think that's what you are seeing? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+save2600 Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 So has anyone found the easter egg in Alien Pinball? I tend to want to stay away from eggs in Alien games. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winkdot Posted August 24, 2015 Author Share Posted August 24, 2015 Alien Pinball release 0.8 (see first post). This is a maintenance release with some optimization. If you use a harmony cart. This one is for you. Let me know if you run into issues. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SpiceWare Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 During the game play it's stable. There's minor jitter during screen changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tangentg Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 I thought it was pretty good despite what you said about it not resembling pinball I thought it was pinball-like enough... Though the ball seems to keep passing through the thing at the centre from both directions... I'm probably missing something though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tangentg Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Yeah I did get the .8 version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winkdot Posted December 7, 2016 Author Share Posted December 7, 2016 Ah OK. Not sure then. Left Switch on B = Easy game Left Switch on A = Harder Game SWITCH A: Gravity is more of a factor Ball behavior is different Joystick up for both flippers is disabled. Wall hits are slightly different. The tilt is more sensitive. If the left difficulty is set to A, the joystick up which fires both flippers is disabled. If set to B, joystick left = left flipper, joystick right = right flipper and joystick up fires both flippers. B is the easier choice. All I can think of. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winkdot Posted April 19, 2018 Author Share Posted April 19, 2018 Sorry it took so long to reply Tangentg. Get the latest version from the first post of this thread. It is the last one (bottom) of the list.There are so so many ways to run a Atari emulator I'm not sure the one you had the problem with.

winkdot Posted January 27, 2019 Author Share Posted January 27, 2019 New version posted. .09 I think I have fixed the scan line issues. I tested a bunch but there are so many different possibilities in the code I can't be 100 percent sure.If you have a harmony cart please test it. I tested with PC Stella with breaks set on and did not see any issues. Thanks 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StanJr Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 We definitely need more pinball games for the VCS. The action on this game is really fast and I find I'm draining a lot early on, but once I've got few games under me I'm doing much better. I even got the background scene to change! Yay! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
