Mockduck Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 For whatever reason I don't see a thread on this game, so am creating one. Here's my review of Mad Age & This Guy: Anyone have tips for those roomba things that keep killing me? 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justclaws Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 I also recently bought this game, and it gets full marks from me and a friend. Very catchy music, very challenging puzzles, and it's got that "one more time", "I missed up" thing too. As the game is new on the AtariVCS with Linux, but the puzzles were probably the same on other machines, this complete walk-through may save you a lot of trouble / frustration. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nosty Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Hi guys, Thank you very much for your kind words! Almost all creators of "Mad Age & This Guy" are atarians: Mac - lead designer, Insert - graphic designer and me as a programmer. So we are very pleased that our game is liked by Atari fans. PS, those "roomba things" are inspired by Boulder Dash's butterflies, so its move exactly same way ;) 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any chance you'll bring other games to Linux and the VCS? I saw your the Steam version of MATG is Windows only. e.g. https://store.steampowered.com/app/875310/Liberated/ Cheers, and thanks, Richard / JustClaws. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely a me problem! Thanks for writing, and good luck on everything ya do in the future! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, kind of weird at this loint to have a VCS version and not a Linux version on Steam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stirrell Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 I just completed Mad Age and really liked it. I feel like it is a game that doesn’t get much attention but deserves a look if you like Bomberman-type games. Especially for the low price, I think it is a great value. Some levels were definitely challenging but not so much to get really frustrating. And they are short enough that you don’t get infuriated if you die right at the end of the level and have to go through again. Compared to Sigi and the Aery games that can be beaten very quickly, Mad Age kept me entertained in small doses for a few weeks. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tripled79 Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 I haven't beaten it yet, but it is fun to play after a long week... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari_JaguarVCS Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 This was one of the first games I purchased for my VCS mainly due to its low price point, I’ve still to finish it as I’ve basically forgotten all about it to be honest due to other games until I seen this post!. I do remember having a blast with this game so if anything I’ll probably jump back into it soon and get it completed! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoyBoy Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 Does the game only support Modern/Classic controller or am I just bugged? I can't seem to get past the menu screen with my corded PS3 controller (all other VCS games work great with it so far) or my mouse/keyboard. Unfortunately, the Atari controllers were not included in the VCS console version I bought. The only input that the game seems to accept for me is the home button to exit the game.

tripled79 Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Hmm... I never tried a PS3 controller. My original PS3 controllers had major drift issues so I got this third party one. Works good on the PS3 anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari_JaguarVCS Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 The game supports the Classic Joystick Controller and the Modern Controller from Atari and also has mouse support so it should at a minimum work with a keyboard and mouse.
