Console Wars | |||||||||||||||||||||||
My latest hack is of the never popular Atari 2600 game Space Jockey (my apologies to the original authors). I know nothing about programming the 2600. This, of course, limits me a great deal in what I can change in the program. I use Showgfx and Editgfx which you can get from this site http://atarihq.com/danb/vcstech.htm (download the 2600gfx.zip in the development software section). I have found that you can change quite a bit using these programs and I hope to post the locations of the graphics as well as some other stuff for anyone else that would like to play with this game (change wise). (There is an article on using Showgfx and Editgfx at the Good deal games site.) If you play this game, Try Game number 15 It is by far the best. I tried to find a way to make the game start at this level but, so far, I have failed. |

You are the Captain of the Atari Flagship (2600). You are fighting for market dominance against the worst enemies imaginable...Competing Consoles Many strange creatures want to blow you out of the night sky. K.C Munchkin, The Lock n Chase Thief, even the little man from the Odyssey 2 system is running after you. Shoot them before they shoot you. I reccomend game 15, it allows you to move vertically and Horizontally and the target move as well. Some of the other bad guys are a little harder to recognize. They are (supposed to look like) the Rat from Intellivision's Dungeons and Dragons that was always stealing my arrow (I hate that guy). One of the robots from Night Stalker (Worst Inty game ever made), One of the fielders from Inty Baseball and TRON's Solar Sailor (never figured that game out). Don't let the Intellivision or Odyssey 2 take over. I originally intended to have the player represented by Yar but I could not get more than six pixels in height and I can't get that damn flashing to stop so (for now) it's a space ship that is supposed to look like an Atari logo on it's side (rainbow colors and all). I'm also working on the instructions and the points value for the different enemies is subject to change. If you stumble upon this page and download the game (it works with all the Atari 2600 emulators I know of) please email me and let me know what you think. |
