It simultaneously looks like a VHS case for an awesome 80's movie and a sci-fi novel. I can't wait to see the manual art and design. It was a blast revealing it on the show and playing it so many times on the stream as the game evolved. It'll be awesome to hold the final product in my hands and pop it into the console! - James 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. I had to look at it closely. Btw, the Ramirez’s thank you for the mention. Very kind of you John. <Edit> I’m going to be up all night now, dreaming about what the manual may look like. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Armscar Coder Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 OK, I can't hold on to that AtariAge gift certificate any longer. Even though I stink at the game, it is still amazingly fun and blows my mind that it is even programmable for the 2600. My limited vocabulary can't find the right words for the artwork, so you'll just have to settle for incredible. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+sramirez2008 Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 After spending some time up close and personal with this CIB, I must give a shout-out to David Exton @liveinabin for the box, manual and label artwork. Love the manual layout and the depiction of each enemy.? Additional shout-out to Al @Albert I don't know who your printer is, but the card stock and quality of the manuals and labels (for all of the homebrew carts) is top shelf.? 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrianC Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 I like that Retro Game Boyz robotron controller. It's for 7800, but it should work for the 2600 version too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PacManPlus Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 @johnnywc ...so I was speaking with Eugene Jarvis regarding my Defender port for the 7800, and I had mentioned to him that you ported this game to the 2600 (he's very familiar with the 2600). The first words out of his mouth were 'NO FREAKIN' WAY!!!!" So I pointed him to a youtube video of it being played, and this thread. His exact quote was "Champ games 2600 Robotron is incredible. Phenomenal version. Hard to imagine how the 2600 could be this good!" So there you have it, straight from the man himself. Awesome work John! 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
