Have you seen any games/etc (including demos?) that uses Graphics mode 9, 10 or 11? Often referred to as the GTIA modes. eg. Most people would have seen the Atari Robot and spaceship demo.. Which is usually described as Awesome! And the intros to Ballblazer and Rescue from Fractalus But has it been ...

You got to have a lot of patience with Thrust. It is do-able, but it takes time and lots of patience.

I did try out Thrust on the Vectrex emulator, which looks amazing - but I couldn't play it at all. I've lost all my thrust skills... Whereas, I can still play Bristles OK...

I would also like to know what is the top rated:

Vertical scroll shooter
Sideways scroll shooter
Platform game

Of course - there was some inkling of it back then...

From my memory, I recall that Archer McLean wrote his own "Defender" game program - but this was never released (nor shown?). I wonder if anyone has heard any more about this? Hopefully he has decided to release his program for prosperity now... or has...? This was before he wrote "Dropzone" which h...
