Lead and its music go together like Sergio Leone movies with Ennio Morricone orchestration.

Nuff' said. Basta! :)

What other sound is there?
Other sounds on my computer. E-mail notifications and so on.

Agreed! Same goes for Omicron. To mute them would be blasphemy :music:

OK, I see that I have dropped into the center of some strange cult where all of the members have some kind of strange Emperor's New Clothes type of ear disease. If you think the 'music' sounds great, that's fine, but I don't want to join your cult, so put your pamphlets away. There are already options to choose from, so I thought my question was perfectly valid. If I would have known this was a cult, I wouldn't have asked my perfectly valid question to avoid getting anyone's panties in a bunch, so please ignore my question and go back to dancing around a fire in the nude or whatever you do for fun. :D

Just turn the sound down in the emulator you're using. Not a big deal.

ok the answer is no. there is no option in game to turn off the music.

I think the question just seemed weird to most of us as the music is a definite highlight of the game and pretty complex for an atari game. also if you looked at the options it would seem pretty clear there is no "none" option.

was the 4k version ever released separately? it seems most like the early 8k versions.

Just downloaded the latest version. I've only played for a few seconds, since I am at work, but the game is freakin great!

I will give it a more thorough playing once I get home later. I can't wait!!

Retrospective(?): Lead 16k for the Atari 2600

Quote

Ok, so this isn't technically much of a retrospective, but bear with me since the Atari 2600 is involved. There's a whole subculture of programmers who love programming for obsolete hardware. I'm sure anyone reading this blog can understand that there are several good reasons for such a hobby. Some do it for the challenge. Some do it out of love for their old hardware. One of the most interesting things that comes of this is the amazing ways that programmers can push hardware to it's limits. The beauty of these efforts doesn't always shine through to the surface but sometimes it does, as you will see in Lead 16k for the Atari 2600...

Is that you agreeing with me?

I tried this game out. Reminds me a little of Spider Fighter. Both 1k and 4k games are excellant. I love that there's options.. gives the game more replay value. Music is good too.

The only thing I didn't like is the level with the rocks coming at you. It annoys me. Otherwise fantastic game!

I had to take the time to say, great job on this game! I really like the music aspect in it. Great fun, too! I would end up dying, but it wouldn't get me angry, more of a, "Oh crap!," kinda thing hehe

Great work : )

Is there an online manual available for Lead? I have the cart, but the manual is lost somewhere in my world. Great game, just don't know what to do on the scramble level.

Don't crash into them. They'll flash if you're about to collide.
