Feralstorm Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 With Asteroids, Asteroids Deluxe, and Space Duel, if Thrust was tossed in too, that would be four games with the same basic control scheme (five if Gravitar was in there too ) Just an observation, not saying it ain't a shame Thrust didn't make it.

Godzilla Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 WOW! That's AWESOME. I'm a HUGE fan of the arcade original Space Deul... This will be the first home version, won't it? I sure hope it supports the tethered dual ship single player mode... (and is the 2 player mode with the tethered ship also?) and as the other user asked, is it based on 2600 asteroids play, or something new/different/modified?

Feralstorm Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 need to check the threads for a better answer, but... New 2600 Ports of Atari Arcade games - Lunar Lander, Asteroids Deluxe, Space Duel New "sequels" to classic 2600 games - Adventure 2, Haunted House 2, Yar's Return Releases of Homebrews/Variations - Atari Climber (Climber 5?), 'Vector' Asteroids. Don't take my poorly-researched answer as gospel though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt Vendel Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Don't forget the new version of Arcade Pong - beats Pong in Video Olympics hands-down. Also the port of Caverns of Mars from the Atari 800 to the Flashback 2. Curt need to check the threads for a better answer, but...

I had hoped to buy one at the show. - Shawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt Vendel Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 so no answer on one-player tethered ships in space deul? 891022[/snapback] Answer - No, sorry the linked "fuse" was a pain in the ass to implement with the independant thrusting/pull/spin, so there is a two player competitive (non-fused) mode.

Curt Vendel Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 (edited) The only video game expo that I directly know the Flashback 2's will be available at is the "America's Video Game Expo" www.vgxpo.com - August in TX because I've arranged to have a large amount available for sale through the Atariage booth. As for other shows, I couldn't tell you, ask the vendors of those shows to see.
