TMOP69

Maybe, bluetooth is supported, no wire, however it could add some lags. In any case, we can play the original game... 😉

The touch controls on this game are simply horrible! These (arcade) games need to be played with a joypad, but if I had to play with a joypad I prefer to use a big screen. Just removed after 5 minutes...

Never had the VCS too, just (re)discovered due to recent 50th anniversary of Atari. 🙂 There are some nice games, still fun to play today. I had a backlog of ports for the TI, but I was totally demotivated as I have written in another post. Maybe I'll port now some TI games to the Atari.

The second game port from Atari VCS 2600 is Beat'Em & Eat'Em (AKA Philly Flasher) from Mystique/PlayAround. It was released in 1982 in a 4K cart. There is also a variant, called Philly Flasher. The game uses paddles. This is an "adult" game. After 40 years from the initial release, now the graphics/animations look anything but "erotic". The pixel art now inspire a grotesque sense of humor... 🙂 Furthermore, the games in this category are not well-known for their gameplay. I've tried to create a version that looks and feels like a real conversion of the game done in 80s and modified the gameplay to be more enjoyable. Practically, the original game was a clone of the Kaboom concept and that was/is a nice game to play... 😉 You can download and play it right now (please read first the Read_Me_First!.pdf file in the archive). Note that there is also included a "experimental" version with sprites rotation routine that works better on CRT monitor. Rename the MAME versions removing the final .bin (just leave .rpk). Have a lot of fun! Finally, many thanks to Joe ( @Retrospect ) for his "adults" games on the TI, that were surely an inspiration for this conversion... 🤣 Beat'Em & Eat'Em - CRT Version (2023)(TMOP)_[Requires 32K]._8.bin Beat'Em & Eat'Em - CRT Version (2023)(TMOP)_[Requires 32K].rpk.bin Beat'Em & Eat'Em (2023)(TMOP)_[Requires 32K].rpk.bin Beat'Em & Eat'Em (2023)(TMOP)_[Requires 32K]_8.bin Beat'Em&Eat'Em_(AKA Philly Flasher)_Instructions.pdf Read_Me_First!.pdf

My original TI99...

Due to recent celebrations of the 50 years anniversary of Atari, I have discovered some interesting games for the VCS 2600, so I've decided to do some ports for the TI99. 🙂 The first game is NUTS (AKA Fox & Goat) from TechnoVision. It was released in 1983 in a 8K cart. It seems that there is also an hacked version, called Fox & Goat. I've tried to create a version that looks and feels like a real conversion of the game done in 80s. You can dowload and play it right now (please, read first the Read_Me_First!.pdf file). For MAME, just rename "[GAME] Nuts V1.1 (AKA Fox&Goat) (2023)(TMOP)_[Requires 32K].rpk.bin" to "[GAME] Nuts V1.1 (AKA Fox&Goat) (2023)(TMOP)_[Requires 32K].rpk" (Why I cannot attach a .zip file???). Some physical SSS carts should still be available at arcadeshopper (Nuts SSS Cart). These is the "Collector's Edition", with cart labels, manual and a special version of the game. This special version will have, in addition, a different color schema (similarly to the hacked version) and the ability to add the typical graphical glitches of Atari 2600 games (the black lines at the left of the screen). Of course, this effect looks better if using a CRT screen. 😉 Have fun!
