I found Pong!

Posted by atari2600land, 09 February 2012 · 38 views

I have too much junk! I had been wondering where this game went! When I got my used PS1 a few years ago, the first games I got were Missile Command and Pong. There wasn't really anything else the store had that I was interested in. Now I have about 20 different PS1 games, but Pong was still missing. So I was looking for my Sega Saturn...

The perfect movie (part 2)

Posted by atari2600land, 07 February 2012 · 69 views

So I got the urge to work on my movie script again. It's at 12 pages so far. My goal is 70 pages since I want it to be about an hour long. Only problem is I don't know what movie studio would want to produce a movie that's only an hour long. They sure didn't have a problem with it back in the 1960s with all those horror films I see...

Insecticide work for 2/6/12

Posted by atari2600land, 06 February 2012 · 83 views

Since my computer almost died on me (which it has done several times before, but eventually started back up), I thought it would behoove me to back up all the necessary included h files. So I did that. I also worked on changing the font. So now the font has changed. It looks like the way I wanted it to. It looks as though I'll have to make...

Name of the Game

Posted by atari2600land, 05 February 2012 · 83 views

Well, another year, another Super Bowl. A little before the game, I went to Wal-Mart where I found a Matchbox orange VW Bug. So now I have two in my collection. Anyway, I found my favorite player of the night. #76 for the New York Giants. His name is Chris Snee. I love saying Snee over and over again. Watching the Super Bowl with my mom, I kept...

Orange Volkswagens

Posted by atari2600land, 04 February 2012 · 101 views

For Christmas, my mom got me a 1/36 scale orange Volkswagen because I said that was my favorite type of car. I don't have an orange Volkswagen, heck, I don't even have a learner's permit, but if I ever got around to learn how to drive, I would learn how to drive an orange Volkswagen beetle. Every time we drive by this certain road in...

uDraw uPdate

Posted by atari2600land, 03 February 2012 · 122 views

Well, those looks to be the last uDraw games for the Wii. Just now got Disney Princesses and Studio: Instant Artist, which I now have every uDraw game for the Wii in existence. Had to go to GameStop, where, to my surprise, I got sealed copies of both games! I also went to the other store and got a "new" Dreamcast controller, even...

Procrastination

Posted by atari2600land, 02 February 2012 · 109 views

Or laziness, whichever you prefer. I did however stop at Office Depot a few weeks ago for, among other things, mailing tubes for Captain Bruce. The ones they had were too big. So I'd like to go to OfficeMax tomorrow and look at theirs. I'm looking for a foot long one so the overlays I need to get around to making can fit in there...

mouth moving left to right

Posted by atari2600land, 01 February 2012 · 110 views

I originally didn't want to put the feature in Fatso! because I didn't really like the idea. But, after a few more hours of wrestling with the code, I managed to put it in. The main problem was what to do if the mouth went off screen. For this, I implemented an invisible border, much like my previous Ants! game had, although its...

It's hard to be a fatso.

Posted by atari2600land, 01 February 2012 · 109 views

Methinks I've made my game I'm working on too hard for my own good! I've only reached 100 once and it was buggy. I think I fixed it, but I'm not sure because I can't get there again. Try after try. The problem is the purple pickle I've added. In the 2600 game "Fast Food," the purple pickle is the one...

GBA Chronogaming future

Posted by atari2600land, 30 January 2012 · 113 views

Right now I have "Lego Island 2: Brickster's Revenge" waiting to be played. And it looks like I may for the first time have to skip a game. The cheapest working copy of "Mega Man Battle Network" (the first one) on eBay is $20! If the used video game place doesn't have one cheaper, I'll probably skip it for...
