Wednesday Workshop #094 : The Atari 2600 Challenge Time until Deadline Week : 04 April 2007 The Reason : I've been reading too much Retro Gamer  The Challenge : Pick a classic Atari 2600 game, then remake it. Extra Info Choose your own format of remake. You can either make it with better graphics. Make it with the same graphics but better gameplay. Make it exactly as it was. or maybe even make a really bad remake! But.. It has to be an actual 2600 game. Not "My game, but like a 2600 game" Weekly Rules/How to Enter You have until Tuesday Night/Wednesday Morning 00:00 BST to submit your levels. ^ See Deadline Link! ^ Wed.Workshop is at SoCoder.co.nr. If you can read this, you're probably already there! Stick your entry underneath this post, leaving a link to your zip or the source of your game, or whatever. (I really should get round to that Upload thing, shouldn't I!) If you can't figure it out, or have a really rubbish server, send it to Jayenkai@Gmail.com and I'll stick it straight onto the SoCoder (Official Wed.Workshop) site. Entries will be collected during the week, and entered into next week's voting. (If there are any entries..) All entries will be entered into voting which will take place if there's more than one entry.. Please try to keep all entries within small file sizes. 2Mb is the average maximum for files. Additional Rules are available at the SoCoder (Official Wed.Workshop) site, under the list of previous workshops. Last Week's Games Nobody entered again! Waaaaah!!! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Ok... i will code "Pac-man"... or maybe Space invaders... mumble... Pac-man or Space: this is the question... Why 'tis nobler to code Pac-man... and suffer the slings and arrows of an outrageous *A... or escape from a sea of troubles... and code space invaders? To code: to play. .... Do you like this new version of Hamlet???? -=-=- Roger Federer is go(o)d. But he is not alone. Just relax... sometimes there's no need to argue.

okay, I first offered it to shroom. But since he cannot or isn't going to enter this week. Too much eye strain on those g forces from staring at Jay and others. haha Sorry, shroom.I will offer it first to flying cucco and then to others. Its a design gift. Besides, I'd rather do some game designing and writing for now too. The design is simple and short. Nothing about going overboard.  and DIEHARD MEETS OUTLAW the game is called DIE HARD OUTLAW. synapse synopsis: a screen appears with a retro style Atari logo and waiting for you to start the game by pressing the space bar. Screen clears and a high resolution blocky rendering of a few cactus, maybe a blocky rattler snake and witha stage coach moving from above to down below. It dissappers below the screen and reapperas at the top. An Atari Outlaw cowboy is to the right and he is moving left and right and/or up and down a little. And from time to time. This goes on for a few seconds...ohhhh lets say for about 5 to 10 seconds. Suddenly!! Bruce Willis(John McClane) materializes. Why!?? Latest and futuristic DieHard movie and with time travel involved. He carries a semiautomatic pistol as well as a phaser too. He finds himself in the old Wild West and probably caught up into a nexus of Atari retro games. It is rumored as History states: that while he was time chasing some neuro hackers he caught up with them back into the Atari retro days of games and Bushnell and Chucky Cheese too. The chromatic crystalizer malfunctioned somehow and he found himself both in the late seventies but also somehow and someway into a kids Atari game of Outlaw. whoa!!!!! Now, with information and knowledge he gained from some of the neuro hackers and from the chromatic crystalizer he has to somehow finish and end the game and fix and repair the chromatic crystalizer as it is scattered into parts in the game and reset the game for it to work properly inorder to return physically to this retro period or his time period. The parts of the chromatic crystallizer are contained within the stage coach, a cactus, the rattler and the cowboy himself. |

At the risk of invoking shroom's wrath, I've picked up a banner with strange writing marked "Centipede" on it, and am now legging it like a mad person... To prove it, here is a screenshot! WARNING: May contain mushrooms.
