[align=center:f2wx32dt][size=140]Here's another new Atari 2600 homebrew demo by our very own member, Papa.  The game's title is Run Out!  This is a nifty racing game written on batari BASIC. 

Most of the opponent vehicles are missing, but one yellow car is in!  The background objects may or may not match the theme, as I have yet to time everything together!  BUT, you can play and it will loop forever!
 
How to play!
 
Fire is your gas pedal
Your sports car shifts automatically into the second gear
Pressing up when RPM's are right and your in second gear will put you in third gear!
Down activates your brakes!  Don't forget your brakes!
Right and Left steers your car
If in high gear, up will downshift into second gear.
 
Still to come..
 
1. More traffic
2. All theme objects match the backdrops
3. Road splits to offer two pathways
4. Car takes damage
5. Different/Better Music (now it's a play on the theme of a popular Arcade game..ahem..)
 
Please enjoy this free ride version of...

Have been so busy lately the old lady has been posting a lot for me and forgot about my Retro posts!!  :26:

Here is the latest update on RunOut!  It's near complete and only needs a couple final tweaks before publishing (if it goes that way, and I sure hope it does!)

Enjoy!!

Select a car color with difficulty switches (yellow, red, and blue!!)!

  Left Difficulty "A" = Blue car

  Right Difficulty "A" = Yellow car

  Both "B" (default) = Red car

Pause the game with the B/W-Color switch (BW to pause, Color to unpause).
And all the Who's down in Whoville will cry
"OH $#IT!"

Good to see you back!  This game has really come along quite nicely!

Thanks!  Now that the timer is done it's really a game.  No more granny drivin'!  I really like the camel and the deer graphics.  Since this download the pause screen has been altered slightly to avoid jitters on real hardware.  When one circuit is completed it rewards the player with some cool effects.

I've downloaded the latest version but I've not tested it yet.  I've been writing reviews most of the day.  :)

An update was posted today:

QuoteMuch has changed in Run Out since the last download...

The game is thoroughly shaded now and looks much better.

After completing a circuit you are rewarded with fireworks.

  There are three fireworks displays and then the game ends with a special winning screen!!  (Three completions and you WIN!!)

There are also a few more cars on the second and third circuits.

This game is basically ready for a cart and is super fun in my opinion.

  Fire is gas

  Left/Right Steers

  Up shifts (after first two slower gears automatically shift)

  Holding down is brakes

  Lightly tapping down in high gear once changes the high gear engine noise

  Color/BW turns "music" off and on

  The difficulty switches change the car's color (whenever you want to change them).

  Try it on your Harmony Cart TODAY!!
