Hello everyone.
My name is Andrew Davie, and I'm an old-timer in the videogame area. I've
written well over a dozen titles over the years on various machines,
including the NES, SNES, C64, Atari 400/800. I know my cycle times by
heart, and still remember half the bytecodes :)
I've recently started development on the 2600, just because. I'm a
collector of retro games machines, and find the limitations of the 2600
refreshingly nostalgic. I'm sure I'll have something running in a few
weeks - right now I have demo code running background, colour changing,
player/missiles. I'm finding it really easy at this stage - thanks, no
doubt, to my experience with the other machines. My skills are in making
machines do what they're not supposed to do :) My pride and joy was a
split-screen independant 8-directional scrolling on the NES without any
hardware support whatsoever. It was supposed to be impossible :)
In any case, I plan to release something on cartridge - limited issue,
probably - as I'd like for once to actually release one of my games doing
the entire production process myself.
Cheers
A
