tradyblix Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Just played it on a harmony cart. I gotta say, this one is so good I really want it on dedicated cartridge (to go with Galaxian) as soon as it's available. Nice job ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Version 1 demo ROMs can be found in this post. Hello all! Yesterday, the Champ Games 'secret project' was revealed live on Zero Page Homebrew's Twitch stream: Galaga for the Atari 2600! This game was developed over the last 6 weeks by Nathan Strum (graphics, game design), Ross Keenum (music and sound) and myself (design and programming). It is about 90% complete with just a few bugs to be fixed and bells & whistles to be added. Here are a few pics of the game in action: Game features: 1 or 2 players (alternating) with plans to add in a 2 player co-op mode NOVICE, STANDARD and ADVANCED skill levels a special CHALLENGE game mode where you compete with only CHALLENGE stages all enemies from the arcade included (thanks Nathan!) all music and sound from the arcade included (thanks Ross!) High scores for all game modes; will support save to Atarivox/Savekey Will support Nathan Tolbert's multi-tap (QuadTari) for 2 player with Atarivox/Savekey A/B switch to enable/disable auto-fire (A = no auto-fire aka like the arcade; B = auto-fire with button held down) Pause game via Color/BW / Pause (7800) switch Technical details: the game uses the new CDFJ driver (Stella 6.1 or better) and runs on both the Harmony & Harmony Encore. It also runs on the latest community build of Stella on the Retron 77 (thanks Nathan for the confirmation!) A video of the reveal and the game in action can be viewed on ZPH's Twitch stream archive (link above). We are planning on releasing a playable demo ROM sometime in the near future once a few bugs are fixed. A cart release has not been planned yet (I haven't talked directly to Al about it since the reveal) but I'm sure it will be available in the AA store at some point. Thanks to Nathan and Ross for all their hard work in getting this game together in such a short period of time, and special thanks to James & his team at ZPH for taking the time to debut the game on the ZPH Twitch stream. It was a lot of fun! EDIT: I just realized that the screen shots are super small (not sure why). I was trying to give Nathan a break from having to do all the work but obviously I should leave this stuff to the experts! I would like to know when this game will be in the AA store, thanks. And if not how much for the full game rom, good evening. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenJ Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 "...I would like to know when this game will be in the AA store..." Same here...and I'm hoping there is a no-box option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariLeaf Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 I just saw the box art Al posted on facebook and it is stunning. I give a lot of praise to the programmers and justifiably so, but equal praise needs to go to the artists. AA has some serious talent in its ranks 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be posting on the front page of AtariAge, in various threads on the forum, front page of the AtariAge Store, Twitter, and Facebook once the new games are in the store. I'll also send out an email to the store mailing list. Galagon will not be available without the box initially. ..Al 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themushroom Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Playtest results: Atari Flashback handheld (2017) -- blank screen. Dingoo A-320 under Dingux-2600 emulator -- blank screen. Dingoo A-320 under Stella (2.3.5) emulator -- puts up something similar to a Yars' Revenge entr'act screen. (We were warned about Stella 6.x being required.)
