    peteym5 got a reaction from Justin in Announcing PUTT 18 MINIATURE GOLF for Atari 7800 - NOW AVAILABLE!   
    Coming Soon!! Here is my video I made using the emulator to clearly show the game clearly. 
    Putt Eighteen Miniature Golf for the Atari 7800. This game has 6 different courses and an Random Course option that random plays a set of 18 screens from the six courses. All the sprites are multicolored graphics on the 7800. Other feature it has above the Atari 8-bit version is it also has tunnels, represented by what looks like extra holes, but trapezoid shaped. If the ball connects, it will disappear for a second, and appear where the tunnel ends on the screen. One or Two Players. Can turn off the obstacles and hills. Can play the cross hair, ball will shoot toward where you point at, hold the fire button down depending on how hard you want to shoot it. Also has the option to play the 2600 putting style, the further your "club" or square is from the ball, the harder you hit it in the opposite direction.

    Well Windows PCs probably be Intel Dominate for a long time. Unless AMD comes up with a super good CPU causing Microsoft to start supporting a new CPU standard. If you build your own PCs, Many places have to AMD processors priced lower. Everyone tells me that you are paying just another $10 just for the Intel name on the processor.
    Anybody remember there was a 3rd company making CPUs back in the 1990s called Cyrix?

    A bit of good news so far is that we announced on here and I announced on my Facebook group before anyone else. This could be a shock to them that we are moving to porting games to the 7800.

    https://github.com/peteym5/CC65_Mind_Field
    I have completed my first game in C Programming Language. I am doing this for my own learning experience and sharing what I learn with others.
    The game is simple as with the Pascal Version. The difference here is that I added an additional ML call to scan the screen around the character you control. The minds highlight in Blue.
    This is one of my reserved games and this version is being kept as open source. I have considerations of a more enhanced version that will have a vertical scrolling screen with obstacles, shells,moving tanks, and bunkers with enemies shooting from them. It will be sort off a mini "Ikiri Warriors" type game.

    Found this in my Facebook group. Thought I might share it here also. 

    Norths.de Classic Projects: The result is a Diy joystick with 9-pin connector for Commodore and Atari Joystick that is now suitable for every retro player - whether left-handed or right-handed. The next is that the Rabiator offers a middle button for Amiga games that need a second button. The whole is made of stable birch wood and laser cut. 100% arcade technology is also installed. The stick can be designed as you wish: the housing color, the button and joystick ball color and the actual controller overlay can of course be designed freely. A pure USB variant is of course also possible.

    We have access to 7800 Bank switching carts / boards. What I need is the specifications on these boards. Where RAM or POKEY located or which areas get swapped out during bank switching. These are 128K, 128K RAM, and 128K Pokey. Same cartridges Atari used for Winter Games and Summer Games.

    I was about to say, I am not sure if they will be saving a whole lot of money using black and white labels. Corporations normally outsource printed materials or use bigger machines than what we have sitting on our offices and homes. Wonder if that was a Jack Tramiel thing.

    peteym5 got a reaction from RickR in Old VCRs and copy protection.   
    I know there are many people still around here that remember the good old VCRs and remember people taping shows from cable or copying tapes by attaching 2 VCRs together. Such fun days those were. From what I remember, there was a copy protection on some video cassettes that put bars above the frame that were high intensity black and white and sometimes changed from dark to white. Messing with VCR recording and screwed with the playback. Some brands of VCR still were able to copy without any issues. Anyone here ever play with This stuff.

    Here is Pool doing the Aim Sprite going around in a circle around the Q-Ball. Same Idea can probably work with Miniature Golf, but not allow the radius to be changed. I remember seeing a game that did this, but did not remember the title. Then when we were talking about pool, I searched for Pool games on other platforms and found this.

    I am in the process of doing a modification of the 2600 miniature golf. Already got its vertical playfield resolution may higher, added hills, and switches to change the properties of obstacles. I am thinking about scrolling on a larger screen, but cannot locate any samples of doing horizontal scrolling.

    Actually this Player/Missile priority thing worked on all Atari's since the 400/800 and did the same thing with XL/XE. I know some GTIA chips lacked the 16 color modes because of a manufacturing issue, so Atari just designated two chips as CTIA and GTIA.

    Here is the first official announcment of NovaWolf. A game we had been developing for the Atari 8-bit and 5200. It is a Solar Fox clone. But I made it slightly different and fun game. It has a two player simultaneous mode. Many different game options to turn features on and off. No date has been set on the release as it currently being beta tested and debugged.
