Jinks Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 59.99 for the cart with the tech involved plus the great game would be a deal the box and manual etc is a steal of a deal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Techokami Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 This game is incredibly impressive! I bought the digital version and really love it. Can't wait for the physical release! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinks Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 It is kinda cool to see this game is bringing 7800 people out of the woodwork. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+sixersfan105 Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 I'd pay $80. Well worth $60. Can't wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andromeda Stardust Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 I'm assuming the price has a lot to do with the custom sound chip. That's really more Atari and GenCom's fault for designing the 7800 with 1977 audio technology. If the system had shipped with an internal POKEY like it probably should have, this wouldn't even be an issue.Put a sock in it already. This game has more than just Pokey capability. This cart has what basically amounts to a 16-bit era soundchip in it. Also the complaints in this thread about boxes are dumb too. I don't get boxes for every homebrew, but the nicer packages are worth it. This is definitely one of the "nicer packages" if not the nicest I've ever seen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LimitZer0 Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 I've been excited for this for a while. I won't be throwing away my box unless my mom travels from the past to throw away my game boxes again. I can't wait to check out this custom sound chip. I hope this is successful enough to encourage you and others to make more awesome games for the 7800. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FroggoGamer Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 If someone insists on throwing away their manual after receiving their game, I'd be willing to pay you for it after I get my copy of this game, I like having an extra manual around for my collection in the event I ever have to sell off my 7800 carts and rely on emulators. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jess Ragan Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Put a sock in it already. Nope! But I appreciate the irony of an Atari 7800 fan finding MY voice too harsh and annoying.

rockman_x_2002 Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 I'm just now catching up to the news about this game. I saw the preview trailer and was absolutely blown away. Astounding work here. Graphics of a late-80s NES title with music on par with some PC Engine/TurboGrafx 16 games that I've come across. Definitely a must-have for me. Great job!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also use to boxes being an additional $15 to $20 cost to a homebrew. While the boxes are nice if they cost as much as a cheaper homebrew I would rather get two games. The set up does look nice and I'm digging the orange cart. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SmittyB Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Heyyy the TIA can sound OK. I made a couple short renditions of Rikki and Vikki songs for the tia just as an experiment a while ago. Very impressive! I just listened to both side by side with the BupChip versions and as they are they're stand-out tunes for the TIA, but I'm glad the right combination of BupChip and talent means this game has the terrific soundtrack it deserves.

DracIsBack Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Heyyy the TIA can sound OK. For sure. IMO, it sounded better with lower tones than higher ones. I personally find Midnight Mutants and Dark Chambers to be fine, but hate stuff like Tower Toppler. Too loud, too high, too shrill. I also didn't mind this, back in the day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While the boxes are nice if they cost as much as a cheaper homebrew I would rather get two games. The set up does look nice and I'm digging the orange cart.Beleive me, I have faced this cunundrum many times in Albert's shop. Do I buy two brand new boxed homebrews for $100 or do I wait 6-7 months and buy 3-4 games for the same price? Usually I take a middle of the road approach. I'll decide what are the must haves and buy them immediately, then wait a few months to a year until the "wants" go on sale as cart+manual. For instance in Xmas 2017, I bought Draconian and Super Cobra immediately, then waited until mid summer 2018 to get loose copies of Assembloids and Lunar Lander. I wasn't griping at the cart-only camp (I often buy cart-only when available) but rather griping about the gripers because they had to purchase a box. This is perhaps one of the best homebrew packages I have ever seen, for any system. We are getting a 16-bit style game in an 8-bit package.

Andromeda Stardust Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Heyyy the TIA can sound OK. I made a couple short renditions of Rikki and Vikki songs for the tia just as an experiment a while ago. Sand Metal This "downmixed" TIA soundtrack is amazing! I almost wish it were selectable as an option, or placed in an easter egg somewhere. Like how Nintendo made "8-bit" remixed tracks of overworld music in Mario Odyssey. Nevermind the faux 8-bit sprites and music had more colors and audio channels than is possible on a stock NES. I am also glad you used an encoder for the arm coprocessor that simulates chiptune music instead of streaming compressed audio recordings like so many games do. Flash rom is so dirt cheap enough that you could have certainly afforded say 512mb of storage for compressed sound. One reason I dislike 90s era cd games. The soundchips of consoles were part of their signature aesthetic. Ripping all bgm tracks to cd deprived users of this. One reason I liked Nintendo games. No canned sound. Everything was originally composed for the game, even on later systems, then fully orchestrated soundtracks in the Wii era, starting with Super Mario Galaxy. Nintendo game scores were treated with the same care as hollywood movies, not "let's license or commission music from some random no-name artist because it fits the mood." So many PS1 and PS2 era games just filled in a bunch of crap from c-list bands, it's painfully hard to stomach now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaManFan Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 I REALLY want a boxed copy! Pre orders would be a great way to ensure the demand you need is there to produce them at the cost effective $59.99 price point (totally worth it IMHO).
