Happy_Dude Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 ORG $F800,0 ORG $FC00 Breaks my game for some reason so I'll leave it alone. Did I get you right here? The start vector points to a Zero page address??? How should that work? Newbie mistake. I saw 00:F8:00:F8 in my hex editor and ....... I found 4 bytes anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sku_u Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 Hey all, I got this email on Saturday regarding the mini-game competition and wanted to share it with you: Howdy all, Basically, I never sent out an official email announcing the 2004 minigame contest, so... here it is, a mere two months late. Because I did such a lousy job of getting the word out I've extended the contest deadline by a month, to September 26. So, if this is the first you've heard about the contest, there's still two months left. Also, if the word hasn't yet gotten to whatever email lists/newsgroups you hang out on it would be most appreciated if you could let others there know about the contest as well. The minigame page is at http://www.ffd2.com/minigame. Thanks all! -The Management Sorry if it was already posted elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kisrael Posted September 26, 2004 Share Posted September 26, 2004 Hi there! Just a little reminder: The deadline for the contest is today Does that include judging/feedback? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted September 26, 2004 Share Posted September 26, 2004 Does that include judging/feedback? No, I suppose you will be able to download a "votepack" (including all submissions) soon and then you will have some weeks to evaluate the games. I'll post a reminder when the votepack is out.

Cool, thanks, I'd like to be a "good citizen" and provide feedback this year.

Thomas Jentzsch Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 Not that they were very kind to the 1K edition of JoustPong :-) Tit for Tat! No, IMO most comments where quite fair. You should remember that most voters don't know much about the limits of the Atari 2600 (BTW: I thought the controls to be too sensitive, too ).

Well, I didn't knew the Enterprise 128 before, but IMO the Oric and especially the ZX81 aren' t exotic at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybergoth Posted September 27, 2004 Author Share Posted September 27, 2004 Hi there! ...including exotic machines like the "Enterprise 128", the "Oric" or the "Sinclair ZX81". Well, I didn't knew the Enterprise 128 before, but IMO the Oric and especially the ZX81 aren' t exotic at all. Ok, the ZX81 was my first computer. I don't think it's exotic in a way of being "rare" or "unknown", but exotic as a machine to play games on. All I remember ever doing with it was typing 20-30 lines of BASIC code until the screen (and so its RAM) was full The other two I've never seen in my life and didn't even know they're existing until some people submitted contest entries for them Greetings, Manuel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 The other two I've never seen in my life and didn't even know they're existing until some people submitted contest entries for them A friend had an Oric, that's why I know it. And that was before I got my C64. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should remember that most voters don't know much about the limits of the Atari 2600 (BTW: I thought the controls to be too sensitive, too ). True, it wasn't a great effort. Though it seems like most of the non-stella crew were judging strictly on execution, not originality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsson Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 I'd like to say that when it comes to not realizing limits, it is not only a 2600 issue - voters who by chance come from outside may not know a single platform, and those actively developing on one format doesn't even know their closest "sister" well enough, much less something totally different. The Oric community - mainly run through newsgroup and e-mag I think - has really joined forces to get a good number of entries this year, just like this Atari 2600 community. I think the Oric fans got a little p*ssed off last year due to all the comments about not finding out how to run the emulator and thus not try the few games. Veterans like me, who once even got the one TI99/4A game to run (minus proper sprite collission, so it played too easy), almost yawn at how easily most emulators run. :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
