+ZeroPage Homebrew Posted December 13, 2021 Author Share Posted December 13, 2021 Thank you everyone for all of your thoughtful messages about Pixel. It's an incredibly difficult time right now for us so it's comforting to read all the heartfelt words from you. It was so wonderful to have all of you get to know Pixel through the show, so I know that you understand how special Pixel was to us. It will be hard for us to do the show without Pixel but we will be streaming tomorrow. I think I will be able to make it through the show, but please bear with us if we have trouble at some points. Thank you all. ❤️ - James 7 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/276956-zeropage-homebrew-twitch-stream/page/57/#findComment-4965349 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Iacovelli Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 I agree with thomas, but if you do feel like doing a show as I commented on facebook: we shouldn't do a treat time for while, and do a moment of silence like when a wrestle passes (minus the ten bells toll) in honor of Pixel 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/276956-zeropage-homebrew-twitch-stream/page/57/#findComment-4965363 Share on other sites More sharing options...

+darryl1970 Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 Up watching the Mario Bros exclusive at 5:30a. I really wish I could have stayed up to watch. Great job @OldStyle! It was so much fun to watch James and Tanya play! (Do I pronounce her name like she does or how her parents intended???) The interview mentioned how it was a challenge to squeeze all of the sprites in with all of the colors. I think that was understated. The mix of 160A and 160B, while having color-changing enemies, is daunting to me. That is a serious achievement. Here's the "Level 2 Shellcreeper Trap" that was mentioned when quoting my forum post. It's actually a pretty popular point press for level 2 (Level 3 in the Japanese version & the new 7800, since it follows the Japanese level order). The new 7800 version is one of two versions that allow this!!!! No other home version release enough sprites at one time to do this properly, except the Atari 5200 version. (Pretty impressive for 1983!) That one extra shellcreeper means an extra 3,200 knock-off points, along with 4,000 pts of coins to collect. 4 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/276956-zeropage-homebrew-twitch-stream/page/57/#findComment-4974406 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Jentzsch Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 @ZeroPage Homebrew Watching the latest show, I just heard about your plans for a four-player games episode. Since I doubt there will ever be an eight-player games episode, how about VROOM! ? BTW :These things Tanya is making (forgot their name) look really cool. IMO they would be even cooler, if the stars would be replayed with little Atari Fujis. But I suppose that would be a lot of extra work. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/276956-zeropage-homebrew-twitch-stream/page/57/#findComment-4992853 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The drink coasters Tanya made are super awesome and they would look even better with Atari Fujis! I'm guessing she'd have to get pre-punched out Fujis or have to order a custom punch. I couldn't find any pre-punched Fujis cutouts or a Fuji shaped hole puncher. I also tried looking online for the cost of a custom punch but couldn't find any publicly posted prices anywhere. I'm guessing a custom manufactured one off shaped hole puncher won't be cheap. I'll ask Tanya about it. - James 2 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/276956-zeropage-homebrew-twitch-stream/page/57/#findComment-4992911 Share on other sites More sharing options...
