Atari_JaguarVCS Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 Purchased the game earlier today and have really been enjoying it so far! Its so much fun and very addictive when playing using the classic joystick, its very responsive 😀 keep up the good work! This might just be one of my favorite new spinner games on the Atari VCS 800. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari_JaguarVCS Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 I'm currently top place on the leaderboard. I'm willing to bet that will change when the zip code issue gets resolved and more people are able to buy and play the game 🤣 for now i feel like a champion! My score is 5345 using 3 paddles in the settings. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari_JaguarVCS Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 Think I've found a problem with the game. I got to level 34 with 3 paddles left still and the game crashed, basically no more basket balls is this supposed to happen? My high score on the left is lost to 😥 i was doing so good lol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll look into it asap 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballistik Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Hey Metgan, that happened to me too, I got up to 60,000+ pts and the game just stopped. I caught it on my gameplay video coming up on Tues for Basketboom! Love it BB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari_JaguarVCS Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 It happened again to me, this time on wave 20 i think it was. It's such a great game but I'll certainly not be chasing any high scores on it till its patched, i cant deal with the stress of not knowing if the games going to lock up 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love it BB Finally found a nasty but effective solution. If it seems to happen, just wait 2-3 more seconds and game will detect something is off and force its way through to continue (will generate more balls) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markofwolves Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 (edited) It should be enough? And I decided to stop 😅 Edited December 2, 2023 by markofwolves 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scifidude79 Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 I didn't realize that Basket Boom was a modern Kaboom! style of game. It was released while the zip code error was making it impossible for me to buy games, so I didn't really look into it. I'm so getting it now. Thanks for the info. 😁 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not getting a response from Atari either... Have you tried reaching out to Ashlee on Discord? That's probably the quickest way to get the issue resolved. I imagine support is currently swamped dealing with new owners who purchased a VCS in the recent sale though so i wouldn't expect an immediate response from Atari support. I purchased a USB stick earlier in the month from them and its still not shipped and zero response from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
