+Nathan Strum Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 you can get a woodgrain skin from Lik-sang or gbaMOD. Originally, I was just kidding. But now... I may have to get a black GBA-SP (excuse me... "Onyx") and get the wood grain skin for it. Or make a custom one with an Atari logo. Now I wonder if anyone sells orange fire buttons for it...

vanman Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 uh I have a couple questions. 1. How much will the game sell for? 2. Does it come with anything special? Thank you for your time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shannon Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 Makes note to self... Buy PS2 activision anthology pack Buy GBA activision anthology pack when it comes out. Waste lots of productive time playing said packs. Too bad you couldn't get that extra bonus level in the atari 8-bit versions of Pitfall 2. Or did you? It's nice to see for once that someone knows how to give alot of "added value" to emulated classic game compilations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Random Terrain Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 I still don't see a full list of games anywhere. Is it a secret? I'd like to know what to look forward to, besides freezing my poop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidbrit2 Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 You know what's even more annoying? People with no sense of humor. If they can't deal with it, forget 'em. But anyway, yeah, this looks very cool. I want. I'm still curious to see how it fits on screen, though. Will non essential scanlines be clipped, or will some sort of compression be used? Time will tell. I'm sure it'll look great, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RetroBytes Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 Anybody muture and wise enough will know not to take it seriously, and not to judge someone from a moment or two of fooling around. Take me for instance, it's my first visit here, I'm a new member. And it didn't effect my opinion in the negative, not one bit. Anyway, as far as lists go. This is what was included with the PS2 version. I took the list off IGN and alphabetized it. Activision Decathlon Atlantis Barnstorming Baseball Beamrider Boxing Bridge Checkers Chopper Command Commando Cosmic Commuter Crackpots Demon Attack Dolphin Dragster Enduro Fishing Derby Freeway Frostbite Grand Prix H.E.R.O. Ice Hockey Kabobber Kaboom Keystone Kapers Laser Blast Megamania Moonsweeper Oink! Pitfall Pitfall II: Lost Caverns Plaque Attack Pressure Cooker Private Eye River Raid River Raid II Robot Tank Seaquest Skiing Sky Jinx Space Shuttle: A Journey into Space Spider Fighter Stampede Star Master Tennis Thwocker Title Match Pro Wrestling Tomcat: The F14 Flight Simulator According to what are visiting developer representative said, we should also expect what was it, about 7 additional "homebrew" games. And I think that is about as complete of a list we are going to see until it comes straight from the horse's mouth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 IIRC somebody said something about "Skeleton+" being one of the homebrews, but then I could be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cybergoth Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 Hi there! IIRC somebody said something about "Skeleton+" being one of the homebrews, but then I could be wrong. Well, Al said that in the first post of this thread Also Vault Assault & Space Treat Deluxe. And IIRC Piero wanted to contact them regarding Oystron.

According to what are visiting developer representative said, we should also expect what was it, about 7 additional "homebrew" games. And I think that is about as complete of a list we are going to see until it comes straight from the horse's mouth. That is 48 games, with 57 in total and 7 homebrews, there should be 2 *new* games. Hm... easiest would be adding Imagic titles I assume. (Dragonfire pleeeeeease! ) Greetings, Manuel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 Well, Al said that in the first post of this thread At least (unlike some other people ) I can remember something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxglove9 Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 I wonder what the homebrews are...Wow, a moded version of Synthcart (to work with all the GBA buttons) would be amazing. That alone is a huge reason to own the cart, as if there wasn't enough already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RetroBytes Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 That's what I wonder. How did Activision come accross I-magic titles for this release? They have Atlantis and Demon attack from what I can count of I-magic titles. And there are some roms you can not download from here. I didn't notice them all but, is it basically only the ones from Activision because the re-released them? Or are there a few more unavailable, if so where are THEY officially released so I can get them? And why can we still download Atlantis and Demon attack since they are in the Activision release? Just curious. And yeah, I'd love to see them add about 3 or 4 more I-magic titles on the Anthology. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Random Terrain Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 Thanks for the list RetroBytes. And what happened in this thread? Did some posts get deleted? There are some comments, quotes and other things that don't seem to fit anymore. I miss all of the good stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted August 22, 2003 Author Share Posted August 22, 2003 activision had the rights to the imagic games circa late 80s best i can remember There are no Imagic titles on the GBA Activision Anthology. However, I can list the homebrew games that are included: - Climber 5 - Euchre - Okie Dokie - Oystron - Skeleton+ - Space Treat Deluxe - Vault Assault ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PongHit Posted August 23, 2003 Share Posted August 23, 2003 There are no Imagic titles on the GBA Activision Anthology. WHAT?? No ATLANTIS?!? No DEMON ATTACK??!!?? WHY??? Darn -- this news is very disappointing to me! -PongHit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariDude Posted August 23, 2003 Share Posted August 23, 2003 This item just moved to the top of my Christmas list. I have to get this one. I love the PS2 version and now being able to play it on my GBA would be so cool. Looks like Pacman is going to have to compete for time (This is the game that I play most on my GBA followed by Wolfenstein 3-D). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insidius Posted August 23, 2003 Share Posted August 23, 2003 And yes, it is way too late to get any more homebrew titles in there. Maybe in the sequel... Hmmm... Sounds like you have some juicy plans for the future... I look at the list of Atari 2600 first-party titles listed at AtariAge, and I see a nice opportunity for a compilation right there. I'm sure Atari (a.k.a. Infogrames) would be interested. I'd gladly play a game of Combat, Air-Sea Battle or Space War against a friend over the Link Cable! Other 2600 games I'd like to see emulated on GBA include Adventure, Aquaventure, Circus Atari, Dark Chambers, Haunted House, Indy 500, Secret Quest, Solaris, all three Swordquest games (with perhaps AirWorld as an exclusive homebrew), Video Pinball, and a few others. And as for including homebrew games, how about making them unlockable? For example, complete a game of Adventure at level 3 in less than 6 minutes to unlock one of the hidden games!

+Random Terrain Posted August 23, 2003 Share Posted August 23, 2003 I love the PS2 version... So now I have two things to look forward to. The GBA version and the PS2 version. I don't have a PS2 yet, but I do have a PS1 and the Activision collection we bought for that system sucked. It's nice to know that the PS2 collection is good and that the GBA collection will be worth the money too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
