so, i give to you, my first accomplishment.
Metal Max for the 2600.
The controls are as follows:
On the title screen, Player 1's fire starts the game in 1 player mode, and Player 2's fire starts the game in 2 player mode.
~1 player mode~
Left/right moves you left or right.
fire shoots
Up jumps.
Down does nothing(YET!!!)
player 2's controls are the same.
The dot that flies across the screen is a death dot, and will kill you if you touch it.
you can shoot it for points, or you can let it touch the far edge of the screen for points.
now, after going through the first 2 screens, player 1(or player 2 if player 1 died before this screen) will fight, ALONE against a boss.
after you beat said boss, move to the edge of the screen the boss was at.
on this (LAST) screen, player 2(or player one if it's 1player mode or player 2 died before) will have to fight a boss.
after you beat the boss, consider then game over, as this is a demo, and i don't have an ending screen yet.
HUGE NOTE, due to size limitations, there is NO resetting the game using the reset switch, so you have to exit the game, then go back into it to reset.
Another note: you may have to set the tv to NTSC because for some reason, it auto-detects as PAL.
so this is my first game, and i'm very proud of it so far.
