Tic Tac Toe (23-03-2008) (A2600 Game)

atari2600 land picked up one of his older releases and sort of improved it.

Release notes:

Basically the same program, only I fit it in 4k, well, sort of. The computer player is kind of stupid. I’d like someone to go through the code and redo it so I have more room to make the computer AI smarter.

x=player 1 ; o=player 2/computer
game 1 = 2 players (x goes first)
game 2 = 1 player (computer AI, computer goes first)
game 3 = 1 player (computer AI, you go first)
to switch between the games, press the select switch.
to start a game, press the reset switch.

during a game, to go to the menu, press the select switch.
It’s totally in black and white (there’s no color.)

Terrance and Phillip (Build 20) (A2600 Game)

Do you remember the two farting guys “Terrance & Phillip” from South Park? Now those two guys have their very own computergame on the Atari 2600 platform.

Changes:

+A few little bugs have been fixed.
+I’ve also added a little intro screen before the title screen saying “ae PRESENTS” and has Terrance walking across the screen. I think it’s cute. What do you think?

Terrance and Phillip (Build 18) (A2600 Game)

Do you remember the two farting guys “Terrance & Phillip” from South Park? Now those two guys have their very own computergame on the Atari 2600 platform.

Changes:

+The life counter is now Terrance heads. If the black status bar drops to zero, you lose a life *and* begin at the beginning of the level you died in.
+Because I can’t control the color of the status bar color (apparently it decided to be black now), I changed the background color of level 1 to a dark blue to still indicate night time. If you want to see this, press up and fire at the title screen and you’ll start at level 1; otherwise, you’ll start at level 2.
+Added 2 new screens to level 2.

Terrance and Phillip (Build 17) (A2600 Game)

Do you remember the two farting guys “Terrance & Phillip” from South Park? Now those two guys have their very own computergame on the Atari 2600 platform.

Release notes:

level 2 is all set up now. I added a screen for it. It’s supposed to be a desert level, so I added what I think is appropriate music. Warning: the background isn’t black, and there might be some bugs, and if there are, tell me about them.
