Rickster8 Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 Okay so basically it's the same game as the Atari homebrew called 'Conquest of Mars' correct? This actually looks better with the rapid fire and it seems like the ship rides smoother..... SWEET!!!!! 👍 I'm hoping one of the other two is Mr. Yo-Yo... That game would be fantastic for the Intellivision..... 😮 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure how these things work,but I think you just need to do a cartridge port mod with a small handsaw, or something like that. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was programmed by Greg Christensen, with some features added by Richard Watts, and published by the Atari Program Exchange (APX) in 1981.[3] Caverns of Mars became the best selling APX title of all-time and was moved into Atari, Inc.'s official product line, first on diskette and later on cartridge.

+littaum Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 Portland doesn't seem to be in the best path for the eclipse. It's a 90 minute drive (at best) and there are plenty of major cities (including Eugene itself) which would be better for out of towners to travel to.

Sinjinhawke Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 I'm lucky the eclipse is coming to me in April of 2024. No travel needed though I hope to attend Portland one year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No travel needed though I hope to attend Portland one year. If you have the chance to see a total eclipse, you won’t regret making the effort to witness one. It is truly, truly incredible to see a hole in the sky where the sun just was. Of course, one cloud can obscure the view, so hope for clear skies. PRGE is pretty cool too, though. 😎 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
