For those of you following along at home (or at work where you're not supposed to), you may have noticed a trend in my GBA Chronogaming blog section: I don't like very many of these games. Well, you can add this list to the sucks pile. Basically what it is is random button-mashing, hoping (and it does get your hopes up) that one of the punches hits the computer. Once I got knocked out in round one and the countdown started, i turned it off in disgust. Mind you this was even on easy mode. I am really wondering whether I should continue this. I mean, the GBA is an amazing handheld system, but as it turns out, I guess I don't like very many games for it. The only games I've even come close to liking are Konami Krazy Racers, Super Mario Advance, and ChuChu Rocket.

And for those of you who don't have one, I've included a screenshot of the game at the end. The main reason I bought my TI-84+ is to program games on it. I had a TI-83+ once, but I sold it to someone on this forum (I don't remember who, though.)]]> Sat, 13 Mar 2010 01:17:00 +0000 http://www.atariage.com/forums/blog/168/entry-6892-back-to-ti-tac-toe/ http://www.atariage.com/forums/blog/168/entry-6891-castlevania-circle-of-the-moon/ Fri, 12 Mar 2010 01:43:00 +0000 http://www.atariage.com/forums/blog/168/entry-6891-castlevania-circle-of-the-moon/ http://www.atariage.com/forums/blog/168/entry-6887-2k-games/ atari2600land.com with a list of 2k games. Right now, I seem to be fascinated with 2k Atari 2600 games. I just think it's cool that you can make a game that only takes up 2 kilobytes and have it be fun at the same time. Case in point: Bowling. And what's more, I think it's better than the Wii Sports version because you can steer the ball after you throw it. And, you don't have to swing your arm at a sensor bar. I also enjoy programming 2k 2600 games. Case in point: Video Pencil. I know, the title of the topic is Virtual Pencil, but I meant video. Since the name of the game doesn't appear in the binary, I guess I could call it Granny's Grapefruit Garden and no one would be the wiser. Maybe I should PM Shawn Sr. and see if he'd like to publish this. It'd be the first 2k game published since, I guess Wizard, which wasn't released at all. I don't know, when was the last professional 2k 2600 game made (and which one was it)?...]]> Sat, 06 Mar 2010 23:38:00 +0000 http://www.atariage.com/forums/blog/168/entry-6887-2k-games/ http://www.atariage.com/forums/blog/168/entry-6883-porting-nes-games-to-the-2600/ Videomation to the 2600. Basically what Videomation is is Mario Paint for the NES. After a few hours of tinkering, I got the music for the title screen working. It's the same song as the NES version, but in a different key. Once you press fire, you can draw. Move the marker with the joystick and press fire to put the marker to the paper. Pressing the reset switch erases your picture. But I have a little problem. The only diagonal direction you can use is up+right, and I'm wondering why that is, so if any bB users can take a look at my code and see what the heck I'm doing wrong here, I'd very much appreciate it. I've also attached the binary so you can see what I'm talking about. Up next for this project is being able to change colors with the...]]> Fri, 05 Mar 2010 03:29:00 +0000 http://www.atariage.com/forums/blog/168/entry-6883-porting-nes-games-to-the-2600/ http://www.atariage.com/forums/blog/168/entry-6879-beginning-nes-programming/ a cry for help.]]> Thu, 04 Mar 2010 05:11:00 +0000 http://www.atariage.com/forums/blog/168/entry-6879-beginning-nes-programming/ http://www.atariage.com/forums/blog/168/entry-6875-records-i-want/ Wed, 03 Mar 2010 03:52:00 +0000 http://www.atariage.com/forums/blog/168/entry-6875-records-i-want/ http://www.atariage.com/forums/blog/168/entry-6873-ds-in-2010/ ) Just got my first DS game of 2010 today: Sonic and Sega All-Stars Racing. Haven't played it yet, am waiting until tomorrow (in case I have to rant and rave and yell at my DS so mom doesn't have to hear it.) Although there are still a few games for my "must-have" title list I still haven't got. Let's take a look at it, shall we?out: Valkyrie Profiles, Touchmaster 2, Sonic Classic Collection (out tomorrow)not out yet: Picross 3D, Tetris 2010, Touchmaster 4, Intellivision Lives!, Powershot Pinball ConstructorAs you can see, although the DS is alive and kicking, there aren't that many upcoming titles I want. Hopefuly there will be some more that I'd like to get. Right now my collection is at 145 (146 if you count my Japanese copy of Electroplankton). And although the year has barely begun, I...]]> Tue, 02 Mar 2010 02:19:00 +0000 http://www.atariage.com/forums/blog/168/entry-6873-ds-in-2010/
