    The list is finalized!!!

    I'm really swamped this week with tons of stuff, but I will get the ball rolling.

    Hopefully at some point today, I'll sort the list randomly at random.org (& record it) and I'll reveal the results dramatically on here. Then we can begin!

    Thanks all!!

    Well, that's cool.  All the games in a preloaded card?  Nice.  I'm in for one.  :)

    Yes they are! 1001 working ROM's in alphabetical order, no ".bin" showing on the screen, and the one incorrect ROM I mistakenly included on the ROM pack floating around the net, is fixed too.

    I have come up with 24 newer (2018-2019) homebrews that work on the AFP and can include these too (they will be listed after the 1001 A-Z ROMs on the screen).

    No disrespect meant to anyone else's work but Halo 2600 may be the greatest Atari 2600 homebrew ever made. That would have done so well had it been released in 1982. I'll also place Thrust+ Platinum by Thomas Jentszch up there along with Juno First for 2600 by Chris Walton. Lots of great people out there doing amazing things on these old game systems. Halo may be the one that I give the most play.

    Have you tried any Champ Games or Spiceware games???

  12. Atari Flashback Blast!

    I won one of these from AtGames the day after Christmas! 

    I thought the batteries in the handheld would be sufficient enough to power the unit completely. But to plug in the dongle with an AC adapter behind the TV makes it difficult to use on a regular basis. Maybe if they make the dongle rechargeable?? 

    I ended up selecting the Activision Blast unit. I love the rewind feature!

    I got the digital version also, which is all in color.  I'm going to guess printing the book in color will make it quite expensive. 

    Yes - at .07 per page for color edition  ($27.30 + .85 = $28.15 at printing cost), the retail would be about $55-60 and I don't think it would sell. I've only sold a few "Deluxe Editions" of volumes 1 & 2 for those who requested the color versions.

  18. Homebrew Titles that had 100 copies?

    That's pretty darn comprehensive!!  Thank you for the super huge spreadsheet of homebrew knowledge!

    Yeah, I also remember Neo Games releases go into the 60+ range.  So, it may be more normal than I at first imagined.   Which is a great thing in general.  Still, a huge investment for one indie developer.

    Hitting a viable 100 range seems to involve more remakes of already well known titles.  I dun think completely new, original titles have the same oomf.  Especially since I'm dirt dumb when it comes to publicity :)

     

    Currently NEO Games (Scott Dayton) does his limited editions in groups of 10-40. He only sells thru his FB group and not thru the AA forums anymore. Q*Bert Jump was 10 copies (at FPF 2018), Bouncer was 30 copies & Zombie Road Kill was 40 copies available in 2018 from him/NEO Games. 

     

    My "List" is live and living, at that link I gave you above and also at: https://drive.google.com/file/d/11cd6MWV5ukETB9Q377kG80ufxAESPY6D/view

    I try and update it on a regular basis (cell K2 date/time stamp).

    I sold my extra SD card on the AA forum but I'm trying to find more of them from my local Gamestops. I undercut the person on eBay that is selling my work at $23 per SD card (he's sold 89 of them already as I write this -  https://www.ebay.com/itm/SD-Card-W-1-000-FULL-LIBRARY-for-Atari-2600-Flashback-Portable-Games-Player/273473915386 )

    Let me know in a PM if anyone is interested in buying one.

  23. Homebrew Titles that had 100 copies?

    in Atari 2600

    Posted · Edited by Arenafoot

    Probably all of the heavy hitters in the AA store..... Stay Frosty 2 (180+ 1st run), Halo 2600 (150 copies 1st run), Syncart, Lady Bug (LE- 1st run), Space Rocks, Medieval Mayhem, Zippy..... (definitely known 100 copies: Another Adventure hack, Boulder Dash, FPF 2017 hack, Lasercade, L.E.M.)  Also alot of repros and prototypes were printed in 100+ copies too: Extra Terrestrials repro, Actionauts proto, Bugs Bunny proto, Combat Two proto, Looping proto, RealSports Basketball proto, Snow White proto

    AA store has a live best sellers list at: https://atariage.com/store/index.php?l=product_list&c=bestsellers but Al doesn't give out actual numbers.

    Hope this info helps you out.

     

    I wouldn't do 100 copies to start out. Average is 10-30 copies. You can look at my comprehensive Atari 2600 homebrew list and do a search (Ctrl + F) and see the "xx copies" of said titles.
