+atari2600land Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 If you have been following my blog, you would know that I have been working on a Game Boy game called Oranges in which you dodge oranges coming at you. I decided to try this concept on the Odyssey 2. Press fire at the title screen to start the program. So, what do you think? oranges1.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted May 3, 2017 Author Share Posted May 3, 2017 Did some more work on this this morning. Basically I put a score in and moved the action down a little. The score does not work yet. oranges4b.bin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimj Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Finally got a chance to try this today. It's well suited to the Odyssey's impressive capabilities. Having a working score for bragging rights would be really nice, so I hope you at least add that. Do you plan on adding the items from the Game Boy version? The action area doesn't take up the whole screen vertically and you can only move horizontally in the right third of the screen, are those restrictions by design?

+atari2600land Posted May 30, 2017 Author Share Posted May 30, 2017 Yes, I've added the score. The game actually was completed a few weeks ago. The items from the Game Boy version are present in the final rom. I designed it so you can only move horizontally in the right third of the screen, but I had to restrict the action area due to how the characters and grid are designed.

jimj Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Are you going to share your final ROM so I can being playing competitively? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted May 30, 2017 Author Share Posted May 30, 2017 You'll just have to wait. That's all I want to say at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

majestyx Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 This is a fun and fast-paced game! Not sure if you ever finished it or if it was released, but it looks like it's a finished game (referring to version 11 on your website). Thanks again for another game for the Odyssey²!
