Thomas Jentzsch Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 This game is golden! After reading through the instructions, I began a game and was quickly enveloped by the chaos before me. This game is maniacal madness! I love it! Golly, it's Christmas yet again! Thanks for the great present Piero Cavina!. 100% agreed! And Oystron is the game that made start programming for the 2600. BTW: A lot of modern 2600 homebrews (incl. Oystron ) have been submitted to the 2003 Minigame Competition. Maybe you (and others) want to vote there too? BTW... Thomas, if you are reading this... I think a good name for Cave1k would be "Chop Chop!". "Chop" is short for "Chopper" and "Chop Chop" means "Hurry Up!" :-) I like it anyways. Thanks, written down!

Cybergoth Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 Hi there! BTW... Thomas, if you are reading this... I think a good name for Cave1k would be "Chop Chop!".

I'm probably late for that kind of joke, but: "Fluffy the red Kopter" Greetings, Manuel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEBRO Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 After playing Climber5, Cave1k, and various amazing improvement hacks by Thomas Jentsch, I began picking through other homebrewn games So what's your high on Climber 5? Big Player may need some competition ...and I came across Oystron. I never read the instructions when I had previously played the game, which is probably why I so quickly became confused and discouraged and put it aside. This game is golden! After reading through the instructions, I began a game and was quickly enveloped by the chaos before me. This game is maniacal madness! I love it! Golly, it's Christmas yet again! Thanks for the great present Piero Cavina! I have to avoid putting this game in my VCS as I'll stay up playing it! It is a great game. I like that it started out as a demo or proof of concept and turned into an excellent original game. This game also sparked others that used the same or similar kernels (i.e. SCSIside and Climber 5). My hat is off to Peiro for creating this masterpiece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad2600 Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 I recommend that you try Backfire by Chad Lare and Elk Attack (in emulation). Two excellent games and Backfire can be bought from the AtariAge store. As for Elk Attack, we can only hope for a release. It's available on emulation though.

Big Player Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 After playing Climber5, Cave1k, and various amazing improvement hacks by Thomas Jentsch, I began picking through other homebrewn games So what's your high on Climber 5? Big Player may need some competition Did I hear my name? Here's the best I've done on Climber 5 in emulation. MegaManFan can vouch for how well I did at AGE.

Big Player Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 Hmm, I see no mention of Star Fire yet. One of the top homebrews IMO. Here's a whole page with the top Star Fire players. I still don't see how someone got over 4,000 in the game. Damn, it gets tough in those later rounds. http://www.atariage.com/2600/archives/Star...dron/index.html No new pilots to the Squadron in a month? Come on people!

MegaManFan Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 My gosh! And I thought it was impossible after level 5! It's not. Big Player knew some timing secrets which he was generous enough to share with me, which I eagerly look forward to testing on my own when it officially gets released in cart form.

oystron Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 Here's mine for Oystron... don't laugh, I haven't been playing it long. Thanks, pal! :wink: How many times can you beat the Oystron, starting the game from difficulty level three? I think I never made it to the fourth boss!
