jetset Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 Mine was in my mailbox this afternoon when I came home for lunch. This game is f^%#$'ng awesome! I had to go and play the real arcade version on my ps1 to see just how exact this game is. DAMN it is spot on. I never really paid attention but...is this officially a homebrew, or a proto that got finished. Bry, either way this is incredible. Both with the paddle and the regular controller it's good. What really impressed me is the sound. (Well, ONE of the things that really impressed me that is) I cant wait for this weekend....Im gonna shlep the 5200 out into the living room to hook it up to the widescreen with the home theater action. I bet it really kicks in surround sound! The one thing that really sucks about this game is the fact it couldn't be called Warlords. It truly is deserving o the name.

Jerseydevil1953 Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 Got Mine Today But i'm going to wait till tomorrow night to try it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 Thanks for the kind words! I never really paid attention but...is this officially a homebrew, or a proto that got finished. It's a homebrew. I started it from scratch. The one thing that really sucks about this game is the fact it couldn't be called Warlords. Yeah, I went back and forth, but decided I'd be really bummed if Infogrames or Williams/Midway got on my case about it. I sometimes call it Warlords myself cause that's what I called it the whole time I was writing it. -Bry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Cafeman Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 I got to try it at Philly! It is indeed awesome. I didn't order one yet, I've been thinking about actually getting the A8 version, even though I'm a big 5200 nut... How easy is the stock 5200 control anyway, I mean not just for us 5200 experts but for others who can't get the Frog to cross the road using that thing?

Bryan Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 GET TO WORK ON THE NEXT ONE!!!! We'll see... How easy is the stock 5200 control anyway, I think it works pretty well with the stick, but I greatly prefer a paddle. -Bry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you get this game for the 5200, you have to build a paddle controller. They are so fantastic. I got the parts for three more already to go.

tillenterprises Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 I have to agree- THIS GAME IS AWESOME! Arcade-perfect, even! I, wish too, that it could have been called Warlords, with the Warlords marque logo and cabinet art. I understand why the Warlords name wasn't used, but do you think that Infogrames would mind, since this is only a limited release for a long-dead platform- the 5200?

birdie3 Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 Obviously I can not say officially but "Yes they would mind!!". When you want something done right you do it yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetset Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 Hey Bry!!!!! In the instruction manual you mention that you "hope the next project doesn't take you as long as this one did"......... Is the next project in the works yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 Anybody going to be selling 5200 paddle controllers? I have a bad 5200 controller or two I could probably donate. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwh Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 Anybody going to be selling 5200 paddle controllers? I have a bad 5200 controller or two I could probably donate. Tempest I'll second that; just had four regular controllers fixed up a while back.Paddle controllers would finish off Castle Crisis perfectly!Gotta try the game on my four port system next....

+davidcalgary29 Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 Any chance that a run of 800-style instruction manuals and boxes will be printed up and made available for sale? I'd love to give "Castle Crisis" a home with my other boxed games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrandviewCoin Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 Can you use the Masterplay interface and just hook up some regular atari paddles? I have 3 of these, and don't really want to modify my existing controllers.. Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan No, but you can make an adapter for 2600 paddles, or order a 5200 controller that has been converted: http://www94.pair.com/jsoper/5200_paddle.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
