khryssun Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 I never figure before how this game could be fun to play. This game is really great !!! As soon as I received the package I decided to try the game with my wife... we played for a very, very long time, testing all the variations... this game is such addictive... The game was displayed in black and white because the cart is ntsc and my system (secam) works with pal games If any of the persons I know here own an extra PAL cart of this game in good shape to sell.... please contact me, I'd really like to play it with colors Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Mitchell Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 Indy 500 is one of the best 2 player games for the 2600! A joy to play in 1977 and now! My nephew and I go head to head with this one! Rob Mitchell, Atlanta, GA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moycon Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 If you liked Indy 500... You might want to be reminded of this. http://www.atariage.com/hack_page.html?Sys...ftwareHackID=44 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mos6507 Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 Isn't it true that Sprintmaster only has 8 degrees of rotation? I know it would be a tougher hack, but I'd like to see it with 16. You probably couldn't keep the sprite shapes the way they are, though. You might have to just port over the shapes from Indy 500. Very very few sprite shapes maintain their look with 16 different angles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 Isn't it true that Sprintmaster only has 8 degrees of rotation? No, it also has 16 directions just like Indy 500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Mitchell Posted November 2, 2003 Share Posted November 2, 2003 You might have to just port over the shapes from Indy 500. I've already done this .. converted the Sprintmaster DC players over to Indy 500 cars. Because of a slight difference in display they don't look identical .. but it works for me. I want to work on the title graphics some more .. then send back to Thomas to put the brake function back in .. and then we can play INDYSPRINT with the DC and with the foot pedal controller (Gas/Brake)! Looking forward to a DD update! Rob Mitchell, Atlanta, GA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is still something missing from the control of SM vs. Indy 500 even with the DC mod. I can't quite put my finger on it. Something in the physics.

I can't quite put my finger on it. Something in the physics. It doesn't seem like the angles of rotation are right .. plus the acceleration is more instantaneous rather than gradual like Indy.

Csonicgo Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 could someone make hack where you can use the =PADDLE CONTROLLERS? because driving controllers are hard to find, and imagine the 4 player action! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colors are nothing astonishing in this case, and the original arcade was B&W by the way! Be hardcore! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's too big to load into a Supercharger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 is that available in cartridge form? It's too big to load into a Supercharger. No, because Sprintmaster requires 128 Bytes of extra RAM and there are no new boards with extra RAM available yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Mitchell Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 could someone make hack where you can use the =PADDLE CONTROLLERS? because driving controllers are hard to find, and imagine the 4 player action! You can already play the game with a joystick (sucks). The Driving Controller is a commonly found item (<$5). Paddle Controller would be no fun at all!

Thomas Jentzsch Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 The Driving Controller is a commonly found item (<$5) Yup, but the currently necessary CC is maybe a bit too expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about an emulator? Is it possible to play two-player DC games with two paddles, btw? I'm thinking probably not. There is something about the way that Windows binds mice to the pointer, I don't think you can independently poll more than one at the same time. I'd love to see an emulator that would let you, let's say, hook up 4 trackballs to a USB hub and play warlords. I doubt Anthology Remix allows that.
