All gone for the moment. Thanks! 😄

Thanks so much! I am working as quickly as I can to get it out to you guys. :3 The list is ever dwindling. :3
Oh really neat! I would love to see what you could come up with though once you get more time. I know what you mean though. I work full time, go to university full time, and raise my family so I have only a few hours a week to work on the game bleh. At least it is nearing completion. I just have the last few levels and the final boss to complete and it is done!
 
Plenty of updates, though yes 2 years since the last demo. I was going to release an intermediary demo, but I am within the finish line of finishing the game so I figured let me just push and try to get it out as soon as I can.

This is a fallacy that keeps on getting repeated. The crash came for a multitude of reasons and ET certainly was not the worst games ever.  There are plenty other really horrid titles on the 2600 from companies that tried to get easy money from video games.  ET wasn't perfect but it could be played and it was rather involved for a 2600 game.  You just needed to read the manual.  A bit more polish could have made the game better and, in fact, someone has done this and fixed the issues with the game to make it more fun to play.

Interesting. I never knew that the Japanese made that. Nice find.
I hope that you are able to sell it then. It should be quite a collector's item.

Or…, was it made by the Japanese? The company say that their location was in Walnut, California. Impressive.

Love the posters! You can recognize all the games that they represent. Way cool!

On Halloween 1991, we received over two feet of snow in one day. It blocked the roads and no one could go anywhere. It is known here in Minnesota as the "Halloween Megastorm." People died from shoveling snow due to heart attacks. At least, IIRC. It was one really bad snowstorm, that was for sure. I was stranded in Minneapolis that day. I wanted to see my folks in Saint Paul, but could not do it. Obvious reasons.

Well, unfortunately, I could not dress up last night. But, I watched "Stranger Things" yesterday on Netflix with my girlfriend, who just moved in with me. She move in yesterday of all days. It was fun. Also, I played "Dragon's Lair" on my Jaguar CD, just as I said I would. Although I did not get very far in it, I enjoyed it. I have not played the game in a while. I have finished the game before and rescued Princess Daphne, but it has been years since then. I am pleased that my Jaguar CD works so well. I think that "Dragon's Lair" would be a great game to play for the Halloween season. It is about a haunted castle, after all. Thanks for letting me share.

Knowing me, I might try to play Dragon's Lair for the Jag CD on Halloween. Maybe. Aside from that, there is a costume party coming up. I want to dress up and look like an elderly person with makeup to make me look aged. Just an experiment, that's all.

I bought a SuperCharger from V61 back in the day. Back then, it was about $29.95, I believe. That was about twenty years ago. I still have it and it works beautifully. I would like to get a Harmony cartridge as well, but it is too cost-prohibitive for me at this time. Maybe, I will do that in the future, but I am pleased with the SuperCharger and the fact that I have the Stella Gets a New Brain CD. If you can find a copy of that CD and a SuperCharger, I would say get it. Otherwise, you could try to get the ROMs converted to Harmony-compatible binaries. But, I would still love to play my CD on the original hardware, because I can. Thanks for letting me share.

It is a marked improvement from its pre-restoration state. Looking spiffy!

LOL! I think that you hit the nail on the head there. 

For me? "Crystal Castles." It involves someone different (Bentley Bear), trying to face his darkest fears (Berthilda the Witch and her evil cronies), and triumph over adversity (getting out alive). It also involves finding fortune (collecting the gems in all 37 castles). It suits me to a T. I have been faced with that stuff all of my life. I think I just made a great analogy. Thanks. 🤣

This is a great looking game for the A2600. Tell me something. Will this need to be on an enhanced cartridge? It looks very good for an A2600 game graphically, so that is why I wonder.

I hope Lance at Video61 can help, he is a great guy.
If not I could take a look at my 5200 and possibly model up a replacement in Fusion360 that could be 3D printed.

Do you think that the cartridge might need its leads cleaned? It might not be getting a full video signal because of that. Try cleaning them and see what happens. You might want to consider cleaning the A2600 cartridge port as well. That might help. Also, as a precaution, check your connections to the TV as well.

Also, one more thing, it may be that there is a solder connection in the EPROM board that may need attention. That would be a possibility. It might not be making a complete circuit. I am just guessing, but I cannot be sure. It could be anything. But, these are possibilities anyway.
