AtariSphinx got a reaction from Justin in Your Favorite Atari 2600 Music
I like the music from the homebrew "Tower of Rubble". Game play is great too. Check it out.

AtariSphinx reacted to slobu in Balloon Girl / Sharkstorm homebrew Atari 2600 double ender
Just made some of these Balloon Girl / Sharkstorm dual carts for the CORGs expo.
Balloon Girl is a one button side-scrolling action game. Kinda like Balloon Fight or Flappy Bird. Collect joysticks and pink squares for points while avoiding baddies. The FIRE button is used for everything and should be friendly to accessibility controllers.
Sharkstorm is the developer version of Twist R Shark. This is a top down boss rush game with procedural content. The boss characteristics grow and change each wave.

I really liked the ps3 over xbox360 because of the exclusive games like uncharted and the fat ps3 is a nice looking system vs the slim. Definitely fix if possible.

AtariSphinx got a reaction from Justin in Squad Challenge - Donkey Kong (NES)
I have also heard it was because of limited cart memory available for this near launch game (Donkey Kong Jr has all the screens but a later release). Also heard it could have been done on purpose to not impact arcade cabinet sales/agreements. Not sure we will know.

This is so helpful. Thanks! The one I have has two ports, so it probably does not have PS2 compatibility. It's probably still worth fixing because RickR cannot leave a fixable game console unfixed!

Nice! Just note not all PS3 fats are backward compatible with PS2 unless jail broken. All PS3 are fully compatible with PS1.
The fat PS3 ones with 4 USB are PS2 hardware compatible (they have the actual PS2 emotion engine chip on hardware). These though tended to fail due to heat creating cracked solder joints. You will get the yellow light of death. There are videos on how to fix.
There are a few limited fat 2 USB port ones that are software emulation PS2 compatible but Sony may have disabled that with a firmware update if the system was updated.
There are a few websites that go into how to check.

AtariSphinx reacted to Justin in Squad Challenge - Gates of Zendocon (Atari Lynx)
That's really good advice 🔥
Gates of Zendocon is truly one of the best titles on this system, and I believe one of the finest portable handheld titles of its era. Still working on my score!
My new High Score: 2,169,200

Just a reflection that choosing the "right" pathway makes all of the difference in score attainment. I played a few rounds this morning trying different gates and was absolutely annihilated.
It's also cool that you can use the base codes to practice more difficult levels.

Recently got into the Lynx with Evercade. This one is fun; amazing what this handheld did in 1989 compared to Gameboy!

ABSOLUTELY!! I think Gates of Zendocon is an AMAZING game! Especially given that it's on a handheld from 1989

4,265,900 via a Lynx Model 2 with McWill screen.
I gotta say, I love the real hardware but it's much more comfortable on the Evercade. 😂

My guess is the developers didn't think they could add the pie factory, given what they knew of the NES capabilities at the time. To wit: the Atarisoft version for the Commodore 64 is also missing the pie factory level.

4,014,200 on the Evercade handheld via Lynx Collection 2.
This is a fun one from Epyx! It really shows off the Lynx. I may try again with actual hardware later but the experience on the Evercade is pretty flawless.
