SoundGammon Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I always thought an update to Combat for the 7800 would be cool, but something would have to be added to keep it from becoming tedious. Just 2 players trying to get close enough to shoot the other guy without taking a hit himself. Then it came to me, DRONE TANKS that go after each player and keeps them on their toes. When a player shoots a drone, it's not destroyed, but turns and goes after the other player! Sounds like a cool variation! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Mitch Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Have you tried Combat 1990 for the 7800? http://www.atariage.com/software_page.html?SoftwareLabelID=2781 Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throw a helicopter in the mix, turn the players tanks into jeeps, leave the drone tanks to simply being destroyed for points and new ones spawn, and you have Armor Attack.

Trebor Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 7800: HOLY CRAP! No way! SWEET....Bob has done it again... An XM release I presume, or something else preventing it from being released? First, I have seen of this unless I missed something previously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinks Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 (edited) We 7800 fans are very lucky to have all these awesome games. THANK YOU!!! Edited July 29, 2012 by Jinks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PacManPlus Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 lol - thanks It hasn't been released yet because it isn't finished. I worked on it when I first started Bentley Bear, and it's been waiting for me to come back to it ever since. I have to add: - Tank AI - Helecopter - Sound I plan to add different mazes to it as well. (to have a 'classic' mode, and an 'advanced' mode). It does have the two-player simultaneous mode. Thanks!

mmervine Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 I am beginning to wonder if Bob ever sleeps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinks Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 I am beginning to wonder if Bob ever sleeps! No I think hes tring to make the 7800 have more games than the 2600.. At this rate soon he will have made almost 1/2 the games ever made for the 7800.. 2-3 years time anyways.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaynz Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Mild necro here.. just wondering what the state of all your myriad of projects are? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PacManPlus Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Thanks I'll get back to Armor Attack once Bentley is finished. I actually have an idea for another original game when that is finished. PAC-MAN-RED, I'll need you again for that! Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Once you've done with mascot platformer, that makes maze game compilations, tank/wargame, vector classics, shoot em up, 2600 updates, and Mario style platformer. I think that leaves us Metroid style sci-fi or Zelda next, which I guess means we're getting Secret Quest 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
