Albert Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 We'll have demos of upcoming games at this year's Portland Retro Gaming Expo! I'll be using this thread to post information about each "work in progress" game that will be making an appearance at the booth. This list doesn't include new games being released at the show, those will also be setup to play. Here's the current list of games, I have linked to the relative thread for each, and I will post additional information about each game in additional posts. Frantic (2600) by SpiceWare Minigun Miner (2600) by Dr. Ludos Oh Shoot! (2600) by Piledriver Pas de Deux (2600) by Thomas Jentzsch Pop Box Arena (2600) by littaum Robo Tito (2600) by Vladimir Zúñiga Shattered Earth (2600) by KaeruYojimbo Word Guess (2600) by CardboardBox Block'em Sock'em (7800) by darryl1970 Cartesian Chaos (7800) by Karl G Ducks Away (7800) by SmittyB Game of the Bear Polar Opposites (7800) by Vladimir Zúñiga Phantasia (7800) by Bruce-Robert Pocock RatTrap (7800) by darryl1970 Space Peril (7800) by Karl G StoneAge (7800) by TwentySixHundred Wilf (7800) by Muddyfunster I will update this list as additional games are added. And it's possible I'm missing a game or two on this list -- if I told you I was going to demo a game, and you don't see it here, please let me know and I will update the list. If you're currently working on a new game for the Atari 2600, 5200, 7800, Jaguar, Lynx, or Atari 8-bit computers, and you're interested in demoing it at the show, please send me a private message and we can talk! ..Al 6 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately Pas De Deux has not made much progress over the last year. Musicians, you know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please put me down for one of the first copies though. It's a masterfully designed game that I'm looking forward to adding to my collection one day. ZPH really did a good job featuring it on his show. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Bruce-Robert Pocock Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 I'm sorry to say that the Phantasia demo will not be at PRGE; it's not yet in a suitable state for demoing, but work will continue post-wedding. Keep an eye on that thread if interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ZPH showing really got me excited for it @Thomas Jentzsch if there's ever a special edition, please please please count me in for a copy. Edit: Scrolling up, I see that I'm so excited that I'm repeating myself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Dance for two" (it is a ballet term) I think it fits the game quite well. And the title is quite unique for an Atari 2600 game.

It was occupied all the times I walked by, so I just gave it a good lookover. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
