Impaler_26 Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 I love watching ZeroPage Homebrew. Seeing you guys play homebrews and give feedback is fun to watch and also a great motivation to try and turn one of my lousy ideas into an actual game. Keep up the good work! ?

+sramirez2008 Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Another great show today guys. Sorry I wasn't able to chat much, had it running in the background while I worked. James, nice to see that the boys lent you a copy of Boulder Dash to play on the show. This game is quite the achievement as far as games go for the 2600. It was my personal holy grail for a long time. I'm very happy with my purchase. My thanks to @Andrew Davie, @Thomas Jentzsch and @Albert for bringing this to our beloved 2600. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+ZeroPage Homebrew Posted August 4, 2019 Author Share Posted August 4, 2019 (edited) Can we make it across the 'impossible' pit on @Thomas Jentzsch Pitfall!x256 hack of Pitfall!? Here's a quick compilation video from our last livestream to check out if we made it. ?

Thomas Jentzsch Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 (edited) Nitpicking BTW: The 'X' in "X256" should be in lower case. It is meant to be used as multiplier character. ? Edited August 4, 2019 by Thomas Jentzsch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Jentzsch Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Nice tries on Boulder Dash's cave D. Since I suppose you want to find out yourself, I won't tell you how to kill the butterflies easily. ? BTW: Cave C is the one I like least.

Cave C is definitely not fun as it's basically a race against the clock, booooo!! If I don't manage to figure out an easy way to defeat the butterflies on my next attempt at it I'll be looking for hints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 One free hint: The butterflies follow the walls in a well defined way. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Do you like playing with those Epyx joysticks? I've got a pair packed up that I haven't used for quite a few years. I remember thinking that the micro-switches felt weird and that it was a very noisy stick to use. Maybe I should dig it out and try it again. Who knows, maybe my tastes have changed in my old age?

I like Epyx for 4-way games, if those games don’t have heavy button use. Micro-switches have a very fast, positive feedback of being activated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it provides excellent control. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're extremely noisy and the button is in an very awkward position BUT... they are incredible for games that require precision movement and very little button pressing. The feel of the base in your hand is very ergonomic as well. Overall my go to for 99% of games is the Genesis Arcade Power Stick. I'm very sad that one of them died on me recently so I'll have to pick another one up somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
