Oh nice that's what you want with these trips down memory lane... although I still play some of these now and again :P

@@markrotondella4689 Thank you buddy.

Thanks :D :D

Thanks yeah I think i only found out how to do it in a from a post in a random forum

We didn't really get the clones in Australia

Ooo I'll have to give Krull a go I've never played it. ET seems to be getting a little more love these days I'm glad the programmer seems to see the funny side of it all in retrospect.

HERO is a masterpiece I saved an age to buy it back in the day. Such a good game still today. I got good enough to complete it again last year.

Thanks, I know it's hilarious it would have been so much easier for him just to do a walk through himself. Rather than edit out me talking then put his on commentary on it. He seems to have had some big videos and has been chasing the dragon for a while now. Good luck to him - I certainly got a good laugh over it.

Still not a bad way to kill an hour. :P

Thanks :D :D

:D :D :D

More common than you would think :P

up to no good that's for sure :P

That's a good idea the assets actually has some graphics for it. It would be easy to do when a brick is destroyed I would assign a variable a random number and then have sub conditions in the brick death of creating pick ups. The bigger the range you make the random number the less often the pick ups would appear.

It's my top where the Atari VCS is the best version. They are all amazing conversions for the VCS huge programming achievements and fantastic games but there are arguably better versions.

Oh yeah I hadn't noticed that. I made a simpler version to see if I could reproduce it and yep the same thing happened. I thought it might be the order of the events so if you added the score first but it still happens. I tried it with the collision not being a sub condition but it still happened. I tried hiding the brick then detecting if a brick was hidden adding to the score and deleting it. I tried adding a sprite variable to the brick changing that to one with a collision and then when that variable is changed to 1 deleting the brick and adding to the score. Every method produced the same result when the ball collides with two bricks you only get the score for one... Sorry let me know if you figure it out.

@@markrotondella4689 Thank you for taking the time to search for a solution! Maybe if after every hit there is a counter that counts the bricks and then according to the number it gives you get the score variable instead of getting the score from the collision?

@@giorgoschr79 that would work when the level starts you could set a variable to how many bricks are on the screen then after you delete bricks you check the current number of bricks to the starting amount. Annoying to make such a clumsy solution but it would work fine and wouldn't slow anything down.

@@markrotondella4689 Fixed it, made a variable for all the bricks on the screen. When ball collision's with brick, it deletes the brick as before and then I put 2 sub events, one for each of the two cases. a) if the number of bricks on screen are var -1 , add 10 to the score b) if it's var -2 add 20 to score. Just tested it, it works. Yes a little clumsy 😕. Thank you again for your time and answers!!

@@giorgoschr79 I glad I'm aware of the issue. It's no biggie here because you just lose some points but there would be a many situations where this could cause problems in a game. I hope it gets fixed in future versions of Gdevelop.

Nice glad it helped. :D :D

I had Venture back in the day it was a really good conversion. Yeah the co-op space invaders was really innovative it might actually be the first co-op shooter I can't find an earlier example.

an amazing conversion to be sure

______________________ :P

The Player objects are red and yellow. The missiles are orange (well a browny orange) and def green I checked in photoshop. They might come out red and yellow if your monitor is favouring red.

@@markrotondella4689 I see. Maybe I had gotten confused. *Shrug#

They are pretty muddy colours maybe its that gold/white blue black dress thing all over again. :P ;)

Haha thanks I feel like this is the first time this has happened on the internet. :P

I owned six switcher and then a vader back in the day and have an collection of carts but now there a lots of ways to play these games these days so long as you are having fun.

Adventure is amazing - sooooo yep. Each to their own though what would your top game be?

@@markrotondella4689 It is a really good game. I just think that there are better games than Adventure, that's all. Like River Raid, Pitfall, and Pole Position, to name a few. I would put them three at the top of my list.

@@user-wp6zs2gk6l River Raid and Pitfall are definitely iconic. River Raid is such a clever use of the capabilities of the Atari and Pitfall a procedurally generated expansive platformer I can definitely see why you would put them top. I haven't played much of the Atari Pole Position to be honest. The car and road are super impressive. I wish the computer cars had a one or two more sizes for scaling and some colour variation rather than all being yellow, they fixed it later with Fatal Run. Pole Position definitely deserves some of the love that Enduro gets.

Yeah Megamania is brought up a lot and keystone is iconic. Enduro I had back in the day and while it is iconic and is a pretty amazing programming achievement I'm just not a fan. Controversial I know but I played the hell out of it and the shine wore off I wish it was a proper race rather than a passathon although to be fair it does warn you in the name. :P

@@markrotondella4689 I still have these games here, but my original Atari is in storage! I play some of the games on this list from time to time using the Atari Flashback X that I recently purchased

@@markrotondella4689 Some other Atari 2600 games I like include Plaque Attack and Bobby is Going Home

@@linsdudu Those Flashback X consoles look cool as hell. I wish they would release a new one like the Flashback 2 with real hardware. They never seem to get the paddle support right on these things.

@@markrotondella4689 The flashback 10 is compatible with original joysticks. But I never tried with the paddles

I'm waaaaaaaay off monetization I'm only making these for fun. I got a very good deal on this little unit and I think it would have made me a little sad if the poor thing never got played so I would have opened it without a video. :D :P

Yeah Megamania comes up a lot so probably should have been there. I love the look of Keystone and it is one of the few platformers that actually works for the 2600. I must admit the 2600 Asteroids is my favourite but I feel like it is just because I suck at the arcade version. Is Journey actually good? I never actually played beyond curiosity might have to have another look.

Thanks I have a pretty good collection and a few more a models but rest is mostly just cars I liked

I still do :D :D

Your welcome :D :D

I played the hell out of Chopper Command and Star Master (I just liked Phaser Patrol a little more :/)

Yeah I love StarMaster I should have cheated and put Star Master/Raiders and Phaser Patrol together because I loved all three. Megamania and Frogs n Flies make a lot of list I guess I haven't played them enough to get into them.

No worries. :D ;)

great game. you need a frostbite badge ;)

Quick Step looks interesting I might give it a go.

Yeah Haunted House is iconic but I didn't have it back in the day and couldn't get into it. Sorry I have to admit I haven't really played Superman... it's based on the Adventure code so it's sort of in there. :/ :P

Ice Hockey is one of the best sports games on the system. I quite like the tennis ones too but there was something extra special with Ice Hockey.

true that :P

it was weirdly flexible system - if it had a couple more sprites and a little more RAM it probably would have lasted another 10 years :P

Sorry I couldn't figure it out either :/

this might help ua-cam.com/video/Nd6DC_fPCSc/v-deo.html

you are the man thanks@@markrotondella4689

do you know to post an adobe animate file in blogspot blogger ?@@markrotondella4689

True - one of the many functions of the flicker "feature" :P

Ms Pacman is an excellent conversion. Spider Fighter would make a lot of peoples list too.

Always an option ;)

The Atari Compedium is a great source of information on those fine grain details partially for the Atari published carts. According to that website they started using those dust covers on some of their carts in 1982. I don't think I ever got one of those back in the day. www.ataricompendium.com/archives/articles/vcs_label_variations/vcs_label_variations.html

the internet knows all :O

Haha fair enough it is pretty disrespectful. I probably should have cheated like I did with Pitfall and Pitfall 2 and put Star Raiders, Star Master and Phaser Patrol in one slot because I do love all three. I did give Megalomania a decent go but it probably did deserve more of my time. Chopper Command I played the hell out of and loved back in the day but it's not one I come back to now.

I've toyed with the idea of making an Atari game although making an "in the style of" would be less time consuming. They were lucky the processor was actually pretty powerful for the time. I missed the Atari computer I immigrated to Commadore.

Yes both the arcade game and the Atari version. It's amazing they did this a few years into the Atari's life - it looks like a "how did they manage to do that?!" modern homebrew.

I suppose you just need a conditional statement so if it is stopped it starts if is playing it stopped.

I haven't done anything with the 3D aspects of GDevelop I would think the original House of the Dead would be doable
