Albert Posted December 6, 2001 Share Posted December 6, 2001 /features/MentalKombat/Time to fire up your favorite drawing program again! Since it worked so well the first time around, we figured it was time for another label contest. The subject this time is Simon Quernhorst's Mental Kombat. Mental Kombat is a two player puzzle game based on a concept originally developed by Simon and a friend for the Commodore 64. As with our first label contest, the winner of this contest will receive the first copy of Mental Kombat, numbered #01 and signed by Simon. For more information about the contest and how to enter, please check out the Mental Kombat Label Contest Page. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krisjohn Posted December 6, 2001 Share Posted December 6, 2001 Are there GIF versions of the screen grabs, or a .BIN around somewhere? The JPGs just aren't clean enough to work from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybergoth Posted December 6, 2001 Share Posted December 6, 2001 Best wishes to you Simon. Hope you receive as high-class entries as I did. I surely won't submitt an entry though... (Guess why I started a conntest to find a label for my game... ) Say, do you need anyone to playtest the BIN? I'd do a top-secret & secure job in case Greetings, Manuel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted December 6, 2001 Share Posted December 6, 2001 I will take some non-loss screenshots (.bmp) of the game and mail them to Al. He'll post them on the MK-development page afterwards... I'm looking forward to all entries for this label-contest and hope to be able to finish the binary of MK within december. BTW: This is my first post to this messsage-board. Posting this message just brought back memories of calling the C64-BBSes back then using my 2400 Bits/second-modem... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Mackey Posted December 6, 2001 Share Posted December 6, 2001 I'm working on an entry as we speak. Hope you like it! Is it all right if I send it to you as a PCX file? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Posted December 7, 2001 Author Share Posted December 7, 2001 The first three contest entries have now been posted: - Chris Johnson - Submission #1 - Chris Johnson - Submission #2 - Eric Edvalson We're off to a great start! If I had some artistic talent I'd try my hand at creating a label. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+moycon Posted December 7, 2001 Share Posted December 7, 2001 All entries look great, so far my favorite is Chris Johnson - #2 But the contest is still young. Way to go guys!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted December 7, 2001 Share Posted December 7, 2001 Wow! The first three entries are great! I really liked that idea with the brains in the bottles. :-) My worst nightmare seems to come true: choosing the winner out of all the amazing entries... BTW: Is someone able to supply me with a Supercharger or something else to test the binary on a real machine? I want to see it myself on the real 2600 when the game works perfect in z26. I'm told that some bugs may only appear on the original machine. Please contact me via eMail. Thanks!

Bob Mackey Posted December 7, 2001 Share Posted December 7, 2001 Unfortunately, I'm using software that's around 7 years old. But that's not going to stop me! The only real trouble I'm having is doing the fonts, but I figure I can find a way to conquer that... I've been wondering, what resolution should the images we send you be?

MattyXB Posted December 7, 2001 Share Posted December 7, 2001 I have use Paint from Windows. I hope my Lable and Endlable are arrived here. But I think I have not much chance, because the most of you have more talent then I. Matthias Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krisjohn Posted December 9, 2001 Share Posted December 9, 2001 quote: Originally posted by atarinvader: SF Atarian System Thanks, that led me to some really interesting game fonts, but the numbers don't match the big 2600 on the top of the main label. Anyone else able to throw up a font name? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
