Brian O Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Bumpity-bump and Happy Ninth Anniversary to this glorious thread! We'll have to think of something extra-special next year for the tenth anniversary. Like actually making the game? LOL. I vote for a lenticular box that only includes the red back-and-foth light form KITT that moves back and forth as you tilt the box. -B 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atarilovesyou Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 I refuse to read all this (but the dashboard pic with Shat made my day). All I know is that back in 85' when I got the steering wheel for my Coleco, all I could think about was someday ...IN THE FUTURE, my you....my favorite tv show would become a playable game on my Coleco. Who knows, with their homebrew scene as it is, it could happen! I got the idea from playing an old Broderbund game called Snooper Troops ...something like that, anyways, on the school's Apple II. But c'mon, who could possibly drive a car with that steering yoke?...good thing K.I.T.T. can parallel park himself. (wow, I'm never going to type K.I.T.T. again like that....take way too long.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cebus Capucinis Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Some homebrewer should make an Atari 2600 game that is nothing but "parallel parking challenge". It could look like the original police car driving sequences in EGA Police Quest, with the goal being to parallel park and feed the meter in a busy downtown area in time for the opera. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I'm a little confused as to what a Kinkos has to do with programming. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybird3rd Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Sorry, I'm a little confused as to what a Kinkos has to do with programming. Nothing at all. But as HardWork himself said, the expertise of a print shop employee was vital to the success of this project, although I don't quite know how: I have clearly stated from the first post that I'm new to the 2600, but not to hacking. I'm warm to BASIC programming, and I'm no dummy. Also, I've had two guys jump on board this last week. One is a good friend of mine of 10 years, who was the first to know of KR2600, at the New Year. The other fellow I met by chance, whom works at the print shop where I have been producing my storyboards. These guys are no dummies, either. Both have pledged full support after absorbing the content of my early work, & the content of this site. This week we have formed the Team, christened it with the "Savage" name, and have gotten little sleep since then. I'd just love to know whether "Team Savage" actually made it as far as getting something on the screen before they gave up. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all, they're no dummies (and they're getting little sleep)! No need for faith. He said he'd be back and there's no reason to doubt him: Regarding KR2600: Yes, the game is moving forward. I will post again in the 2600 forum when I am ready to show it. I think he is waiting for the return of the Anunnaki on Sunday, August 12, 2012 to make his big announcement (with screen shots and a playable demo). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he needs to worry about that. Invariably he'll just create a kickstarter and make just as much money even though he's ridiculed. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
