atariron82 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Christmas in July indeed. This game got me playing the 2600 again. From 2 button support(what?) to it's large, polyphonic soundtrack, superior graphics, flawless controls, and the mere breadth and variety of gameplay, I would have to give this title a perfect 10 across the board. In one word---Mind-blowing! Stay Frosty 2 Learning how to conserve ice blocks: 11,180 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karokoenig Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 (edited) Participation points (first attempt) for the moment. I hope I'll find some more time to play this. It's totally rad. Stay Frosty 2: 5,035. EDIT: Umm... well... I think I just went to the AA store and ordered that cart. I so want to play this on my real hardware. My first order ever at AA.

Minor comment - lava platforms should be red, not purple. The PAL version is PAL60 so Stella can't auto-detect based on screen size to show the proper colors. You can either play the NTSC version or tell Stella to use PAL60: Hit TAB to bring up the menu then click on GAME PROPERTIES in the upper/right: Click on the DISPLAY Tab: Set FORMAT to PAL60 (not PAL): Also set USE PHOSPHOR to Yes for less flicker: Click OK, then EXIT MENU. The color change won't take affect until the game is reloaded - hit CONTROL-R. Stella will remember the change, so the next time you play the colors will be right.

I do pretty well until I get there, and then those stupid birds just melt me away into a puddle. Repeatedly. Reply 23 has tips for level 10 - I normally use #2 for the birds, as throwing snowballs will shrink your snowman (potentially costing you level bonus points), though for some birds in later levels you must use #1 to get past them else they'll steal your carrot. Let me know if you can't get past that, I'll post a video. There's a way to start on a specific level so you can practice it without going through all the prior levels: Level Selector Easter Egg - hold the left joystick in any direction when turning on the Atari. To trigger it in Stella, right-click on the SF2 ROM and select POWER-ON OPTIONS: Check any direction for the LEFT JOYSTICK then click LOAD ROM Level Selector: To use the Level Selector: Move joystick up/down to select the LEVEL option Move joystick Left/Right to change level by 1 hold FIRE + move joystick Left/Right to change by 10 Move joystick up/down to select START Click FIRE to start game on selected level Edited July 15, 2015 by SpiceWare 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
