Ballistik Posted June 10, 2023 Report Share Posted June 10, 2023 On this episode of NO FILTER HD {Special Edition}, I play #MetgansTrafficMission on launch day, June 9, 2023.

Is this game worth it's $2.99 price tag? YOU be the judge! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJmPFbXU5Fo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, i'll post it here 🙂 Hey there! I’m Gemintronic the developer of those two games. Thought they were destined to be cart only so I was surprised when I discovered they were on the VCS storefront! Hopefully more actual 2600 games get the same treatment. All the code, graphics and sound were done my me. Some screens in the hardest difficulty of Retro Game Quest are procedurally laid out. However, all the room layouts in C@tacombs of Chaos are procedurally generated. A little ashamed that some aspects of our games require reading the manual. Pick up and play is a hallmark of pre-Nintendo gaming. In Retro Game Quest when the timer turns purple you can press FIRE to fly through walls. Also, the red bar at the lower left hand side in C@tacombs is your life. If you pick up a potion you may press FIRE heal your HP. I reached out on Facebork if you have more questions 🙂 Sabertooth and Ballistik 2 Please check out my Atari 2600 party favors at https://theloon.itch.io/ Downloadable games include Upp Plus Plus, Stranglehand, Nitebear on Sleepystreet and more!

Nice to meet you. I'm guessing you worked with John so he could publish your games? I didn't know who made them or when so I wasn't able to report on that on my Atari news show, "That Atari Show" & "Atari Newsline." If you'd ever like to come on the show to discuss these games and talk about how you worked with John I would love to hear it. Great games and thank you!

BB I subscribed to your channel so I can catch yer videos. Hopefully I can provide some useful input and see if you're interested in checking out any new games I cook up. Usually I collaborate with John Hancock on games. He gives me a theme to go for and I whittle it down into something that I can actually program 🙂 He brings carts to expos and charities. I self publish doing as much production myself as possible. These last three releases are unusual in that he bought the publishing rights outright. So, that's why you see them on multiple platforms (physical cart, digital download and VCS).
