atwwong Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Bosconian or Galaga would be cool. I'd buy em both Agree, but yay for Bosconian! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybergoth Posted December 9, 2006 Author Share Posted December 9, 2006 I think maybe after some bad experience with Gee or Bomb Bee, no one even tries Cutie Q. Still, unlike its two cousins it's actually fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vdub_bobby Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 (edited) I'm seriously considering a Tank Battalion port for my next next homebrew (after the Maids&Elevators game). Got a kernel kind of roughed out that would allow 4 no-flicker tanks, flickered shots, and an asymetrical, destroyable maze turned on its side. The only problem is displaying the thing (eagle?) that you are supposed to be protecting. Edited December 20, 2006 by vdub_bobby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cybergoth Posted December 20, 2006 Author Share Posted December 20, 2006 Phantompanzer just displays a triangular PF something for the base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breakpack Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Unless I'm missing something, it's "just" Galaxian with these differences: - The capture sequence - The "Swarming in" of the Galaxians - The occasional 1-to-3 transmogrification of a Galaxian. With 2600 Galaxian available as living proof-of-concept already, it doesn't seem impossible to add these extra features. Forced to choose, I'd go with Bosconian though One thing to add: - Challenging Stages (Bonus Rounds) I actually voted for Galaga as well Bob And also double ships I'd vote Galaga too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godzilla Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 bosconian all the way baby. love that game. needs speech tho. Blast off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybergoth Posted February 21, 2007 Author Share Posted February 21, 2007 From the four '81 titles (making the bottom of the list), Warp & Warp is by far the most doable. It seems it could get ported 1:1 gameplay wise, with still acceptable flicker - The AI seems to prevent too much horizontal/vertical lining up of the sprites anyway - I never saw more than 4 sprites in the same row.

Jinroh Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 And SpiceWare is doing a hell of a job with it as usual. Plays so smooth as butter.

+SpiceWare Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Speaking of Rally-X and Bosconian. Anyone ever notice the screen layouts are so similar? Although I know for a fact the hardware is very different (Jrok told me that.. and he'd know ). But for the 2600's purposes, maybe making one would facilitate the other since they'd maybe use almost the same display kernel? I don't know.. just a thought. I used the radar Ed Fries did for Rally-X in Draconian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
