jbs30000 has updated his QBert remake for A2600.
Release notes:
I’m thinking of making a couple of improvements in the future, but for now, the game is complete.
I fixed the little mistakes that were in there and added the following:
1) When QBert or Coily fall to the bottom of the screen, there’s a “thud” sound effect.
2) When a round first starts, there’s a brief pause. I did this because I found that if I accidentally jump off of a bottom cube,
then when Qbert reappear at the top, he sometimes jumps off of the top too, and giving the game a brief pause where it can’t
read the joystick seems to help.
3) The game is harder than I thought, so QBert starts with 9 lives instead of 3. I did this because I had a hard time thinking of
how to make the game award extra lives at certain scores. If 9 lives isn’t enough I can make it start with more.
4) Pressing the Reset button puts you back to the Animation that plays when the game is first started, or after you lose all your
lives.Well, there’s probably more but that’s all I can think of. Let me know if you find any bugs and I’ll fix them.
