 Member Prof Gumby Posts: 607 | Hehe, I'm sorry, you're right: upon closer inspection it also looks like some kind of star or galaxy... But when I first viewed the screenshot I could have sworn it's a swastika! ----- [i]"One Very Important Thought"[/i] |

 Member Retired Gumby Posts: 743 | I just dled yars and played it again. All your little bullets can do is knock down the walls around the enemy fortress (which is normally sort of triangle shaped, and only changes to the star when it's about to attack you). Once you clear enough room, you have to go and touch the enemy base but only when it's in it's harmless triangle shape. At that point you'll see a multicolored square appear behind you. The next time you hit the fire button that square will launch itself. If it hits you, you're dead. If it hits the enemy base, you win the round. ----- At the end of the day, you're left with a bent fork & a pissed off rhino. |

 Admin Reborn Gumby Posts: 11522 | Quote: I see the color in those screencaps is pretty washed out, is that because of the compression setting you used, or your tv card, or....? That's the TV card. To watcb actual TV, I have set it to high brightness and low contrast and I was too lazy to adjust these settings for the screenshots.Quote: C'mon now Creo, I remember that my old Atari and even my ColecoVision had better graphics than that... -_- Good for you. Too bad for you I couldn't care less.----- Now you see the violence inherent in the system! |

Member Retired Gumby Posts: 743 | I can't imagine voluntarily watching TV like that. I have the contrast and the color level set very high, and the brightness adjusted in such a way that the high contrast levels don't obscure details. In short, I like to watch TV with very intense color. ----- At the end of the day, you're left with a bent fork & a pissed off rhino. |

Admin Reborn Gumby Posts: 11522 | Then you haven't seen a TV card with a slight defect which makes everything look too dark  I have these settings to balance this problem out, not because I want 'washed out' colours.----- Now you see the violence inherent in the system! |

Member Retired Gumby Posts: 743 | Ah, that makes more sense then. (Although I have seen a few people that really do prefer more washed out colors for some unknown reason.) ----- At the end of the day, you're left with a bent fork & a pissed off rhino. |

Member Prof Gumby Posts: 607 | I set my television set to be 'washed out', by this I mean high brightness and low contrast, for the simple reason of realism: skin is supposed to be pale, not bright orange or something... I can't stand to see 'glowing' people on TV.  ----- [i]"One Very Important Thought"[/i] |

Admin Reborn Gumby Posts: 11522 | Let's not forget colours are subjective. I have to deal with this every day, with my right eye seeing very 'rich' colours and my left eye interpreting the same shade way more 'washed out'. I doubt many people experience this, but two people discussing one colour will certainly not have the same image of it... ----- Now you see the violence inherent in the system! |

Member Retired Gumby Posts: 936 | Did I miss the proper name of this joystick? I would like to look into the prospect of getting one of these, but it would be easier if I had the name... Grah! I cannot wait! ----- [i]Keep your stick on the ice[/i] |

Admin Reborn Gumby Posts: 11522 | How it's called? Umm..... the box says "TV Games - Video Game System - Atari" (replace the dashes by line breaks). It's never actually spelled out anywhere though... ----- Now you see the violence inherent in the system! |
