Everett1954 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 One of my favorite games from the arcades and now on my Odyssey 2 and Vectrex is Exidy's Death Race. I wonder why there is no 2600 port? Is there a clone that I may not be aware of? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VectorGamer Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Death Race requires two fire buttons: forward and reverse. It will never happen on the 2600 /thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toiletunes Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 try Batari Basic's Zombie Chase. Not exact, but similar. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0078265317 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 But there are some 2600 controllers with 2 buttons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+LS650 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 I have to say I have both the O2 and the Vectrex releases, and really enjoy them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Death Race requires two fire buttons: forward and reverse. It will never happen on the 2600 /thread Mapping it to use the genesis controller can make it happen with multiple fire buttons quite easily.

+atari2600land Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Wasn't there a car game that used the driving controller where you ran over people in Stella's Stocking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+save2600 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Wasn't there a car game that used the driving controller where you ran over people in Stella's Stocking? Grandma's Revenge - and it uses the regular joystick too. If the Odyssey 2 can do it... a single button CX40 VCS port can handle this game just fine. Think Sprint Master + Down for reverse. But if you're still bent on using two buttons and besides a Genesis controller version, we could also put that bastard of an accessory - the Booster Grip - to work. Most of us have one or two of those laying around, right? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEBRO Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Hi there, Glenn Saunders was working on this project years ago on [stella]. I thought about picking it up but have stalled. http://atariage.com/development_page.php?InDevelopmentID=58 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Everett1954 Posted January 18, 2017 Author Share Posted January 18, 2017 I tried Zombie Chase and it is OK. So is this Gramma's revenge game part of of Stella's Stocking? The odyssey 2 controller has 1 button and Death Race plays fine on it. How about it Debro or Thomas, care to finish up Death Derby? How complete is it now?

Rob Mitchell Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Death Race requires two fire buttons: forward and reverse. It will never happen on the 2600 /thread With the driving controller plugged into the Quickjoy pedal controller, only one controller port is needed to play a 2600 Death Race game. So it could be a 1 or 2 person game. Does this inspire you Debro !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zonie Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 We need to really think about a homebrew controller to use with new homebrew games. Perhaps not as advanced as my last attempt here, but maybe just three buttons, mapped the same as Genesis controllers so you could use one of those or make your own...

Thomas Jentzsch Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 How about it Debro or Thomas, care to finish up Death Derby? How complete is it now? More than 15 years ago I created a kernel for Glenn. He planned to make a game out of it, but eventually gave up. So besides the kernel there is nothing.
