+Cafeman Posted October 19, 2002 Share Posted October 19, 2002 Admittedly, I'm no expert on the 2600. There are plenty of games I've never seen let alone got to play them. That being said, "Thrust" just blew my mind. I have no idea how some of that was done. Of course the extra ROM helps out, but still, very complicated programming I'd bet! River Raid impresses me to this day. It's a 4K cart on one of the weakest systems ever ... yet one of the best vertical shooters I ever played.

If you wonder how it's done: The (somehow) commented source code is available and can be found in the Stella Mailing List. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Cafeman Posted October 20, 2002 Share Posted October 20, 2002 Perhaps someday, Thomas. But for now, I'm afraid to look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
