dr. kwack Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 As stated this is a work in progress. I haven't done anything for awhile, but as usual I'm trying to make a 2600 version more like the arcade original. Changes so far: "vectorized" the Klingons. This was hard as those sprites are scant to begin with. "vectorized" and redesigned the Starbases, Anti-Matter Saucers, NOMAD, and NOMAD's mines to look more like the arcade. Modified the letter and number font to more resemble Sega's Vector font. Still need to modify the asteroids/meteors but I need to see their arcade counterparts first. Also- can anyone tell me - and keep in mind my experience is only within Hack-O-Matic, how I can change the playfield to all black background? I think this could enhance the vector look a bit. trekvec21.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr. kwack Posted July 15, 2004 Author Share Posted July 15, 2004 Thanks so much for the positive comments. Should be finished up in a few days. I'll be sure to post the final version. It's just a matter of playing it enough on MAME to fix the little details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr. kwack Posted July 15, 2004 Author Share Posted July 15, 2004 Hey- can anyone tell me if the asteroid and meteor shower scenes are even in the coin-op version? I've been playing for a bit and can't locate them. I'll also post this one in the Coin-op forum... Thanks :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fellow Atari Man Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 Hey- can anyone tell me if the asteroid and meteor shower scenes are even in the coin-op version? I've been playing for a bit and can't locate them. No. They're not. They added things that weren't in the original in the TI-994A version too (or maybe that WAS it...been years since I played it on a friend's).

Fellow Atari Man Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 Screenshots Hey! You did a great job with the Starbase! That's probably as close as to the arcade look you can get with the 2600! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
