Shaggy the Atarian Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 Just a heads up to everyone about the 7800 Homebrewerpalooza Contest. It ends Sunday. Remember, any homebrew, even if it is just a hack will be accepted. Many thanks to all who are participating! If you have a file ready just send along a .A78 file with instructions to my PM box. (I would put this in the contest forum but I figure that most people who are interested in the 7800 read this forum more often than that one.)

DracIsBack Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 Got it. 866438[/snapback] I'm so glad this contest was created: Tubes (awesome game), Beef Drop (awesome game), Q-Bert (awesome game) Frogger (awesome game) and Pac Man (awesome game) are all now on the 7800! And maybe we'll get lucky and a few more surprises will surface by Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DracIsBack Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 SpaceWar 7800 Robotfindskitten Combat 1990 Can't believe I forgot about Space War -- one of the originals! Are there files of Robotfindskitten and Combat 1990 posted in another thread? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Mitch Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 Robotfindskitten was posted in the programming forum (I think) about a year or so ago. However, there is a bug in that version the prevents you from going up on a real console. Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 I don't know wether that bug is fixed by now. I can't test on a real 7800, and input/output emulation is quite buggy on emulators (that is, works in cases it shouldn't. can't remember which emu this was, but one totally ignored what you wrote to the port direction registers...). Nor can I imagine why all the joystick directions except up would work... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricBall Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 The current 4K SpaceWar! 7800 is available from http://ericball.atariage.com/spacewar.html. Although it is missing many things (score, sound), it is playable. (Two player and NTSC only.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Tomlin Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 Tubes (awesome game), Wow, I don't even know how to finish it, and it's already "awesome"? :-) Anyhow, I've decided to work on a more ambitious 7800 project. In my *cough* Copious Free Time[tm], of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my *cough* Copious Free Time[tm], of course. 870193[/snapback] I *LOVE* Tetris games and Tubes is a neat twist. I was playing it, Frogger and Beef Drop most of this evening. (Q-Bert looks cool, but I suck at it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Tomlin Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 Well, I've got to admit that it is fun even without a point. Katamari Damacy apparently had a similar problem, and they had to put in the time limits just to give you some kind of objective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between the rapping Japanese guy, the king in the cod-piece and swallowing up Godzilla, I once had a basement full of people howling with laughter as this game was played.
