Dan Iacovelli Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 I noticed that the following games in the 2600 best homebrew d/l pack are demos: Aardvark, Galagon and Wizard of Wor Arcade. the ones you played on the stream was the final version. is there a difference between the demo Rom and final version. I want to be sure I'm playing and voting on the right games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 The differences for Aardvark are: Eight predefined game modes which can be individually adjusted Three of these modes are called "Wild", they add additional elements to the game (e.g. blocking a tunnel, laying new eggs, hunting for the tongue) SaveKey support for each game mode.

vhzc Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 It would be cool if Albert could add a text in the description of the games available in AA store that are nominees, just like the ones on movie's posters lists the nominations. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been watching Robert Llewellyn's videos since he was doing the 'Carpool' series driving around his friends in his electric car, and of course decades of Red Dwarf before that. Enjoy, wish I could be there! The Rivian truck looks amazing. You'll be able to catch the Award Presentation when it's posted the next day on YouTube. ? - James 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah they need to remove the text from their site that says "COMING SOON as free download". It gets rather annoying when people say they will release something and then a large amount of time passes and nothing happens. I've seen it happen to many times enough for it to be annoying. Not that I'm complaining.. just saying... Edited June 15, 2020 by Shannon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shannon Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 So I just played the C64 version of this. The controls and gameplay to me seem a little too fine tuned for the 2600 to handle. How does it play on the 2600? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
