I like that feature and name. 🙂 Can't take credit for that one. Some major homebrew developers got excited to formalize the concept and I rolled with it. Also, I've found some YouTubers forget that their difficulty switches are set to PRO and get frustrated during a review 😞 So, now they HAVE to intentionally joystick it into hard mode!

That means something from a connoisseur of retro gaming like yourself 🙂 I think 8 Bit Milli did good with his first published 2600 title. Usually he does Coleco stuff. Got nothing but positive feedback on the game itself. Though, since Zero Page homebrew reads the manual as they play, there was some anxiousness on my part during their stream 🙂 Edited June 19, 2023 by slobu TrekMD and socrates63 2 Quote 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!
