"
Which homebrew cart/package do you own, and which of them do you play?
"
I'm pretty new to this list as well by the way, but:
I own a few different homebrews and I actually thing most if not all of
them are very good. My favorite thus far is "This Planet Sucks", it's
fantastic. I enjoy the physics of Thrust quite a bit, but I still kind of
suck at that one.
I really enjoy the homebrew scene, I'm planning on doing an Adventure
"Hack" I suppose. But I'm hoping it's a totally new game, not just a few
graphics changes. I'm not doing for money I'm doing because I loved the
original Adventure, and no one has ever done a sequel. If the game sucks,
which is a very definate possiblity, I wouldn't even think of making a real
cart out of it.
Also, I've found that messing around with Atari Assembler has been fun as
heck, and a huge leap from the Visual Basic stuff I do for a living.

"games" in much less time that it takes to make one single quality game. And
he will be rewarded by you 10 times. You are being manipulated by those
people. Isn't there any lower mark, where you would say: "NO!" ?

how collecting everything is leading to something different. Something that,
