You can see some footage while watching starsoldier's review of it on yt:

Cool thanks!

JoshTurboTrollX · 04/15/2013, 10:47 AM

Looks so badass!! ORDERED!!

Arkhan Asylum · 04/15/2013, 12:11 PM

Yeah, I am hoping to see more video reviews. I would do one, but uh, it's Aetherbyte's stuff, so that'd be a bit biased,

I could make a gameplay footage video, with no review though.

Also, as of right now, I think we've sold somewhere around 60, if memory serves. I did not serial number them, but I have kept track of each sale.

Some promo copies were given away for less than retail, so hopefully those people do the reviews like they said they would.

Finally found time to play me some PP this weekend. I dig--nice job, Arkhan. Feel free to spam me when your next game is ready!

Thanks,

Need to get me a copy for sure, but money is tight right now, hopefully when I have a bit more disposable income I can pick up a copy of PP, Insantiy and the reprint of Meteor Blaster. I already own Implode and Mysterious Song, so I'd like to get other homebrews as well. I think that the efforts of home brew devs are helping to strengthen the TG catalog for sure.

Get Arkhan's stuff first, especially since this is his thread.

...but then don't forget about ReVival Chase.

T2KFreeker · 05/09/2013, 05:25 PM

Just ordered today. I can't wait to play it now. Awesomeness!

I'm going to here in a minute actually. Had some stuff to finish up first. I'm digging the case art Arkhan. Very cool, man!

I didn't draw it, lol.

My womanoid doodled it, and Sunteam Paul colored it.

Nice. I have to admit, it would have been cool for a level save or something like that, but oh well. I only say that because I had to leave in a hurry and was on level 8 I think and had to shut it off, sadly. Cool game though. I got lots of retro due to it and ReVival Chase this month. Groovy!

Arkhan Asylum · 05/17/2013, 09:56 PM

Well, there IS a level - picker cheat code.

Someone will figure it out eventually.

It's the Konami code in reverse...

Be humorous if it was though.

Arkhan Asylum · 05/25/2013, 03:05 PM

nah its easier than that!

One of these days someone will figure it out. ;)

I was informed by someone, that there is a way to run AND collect the gold bars as you go.

Just have the turbo switch up.

I have tried this, and I while in the early stages it might help, the later stages require more strategy, and It doesn't help nearly as much as you think it would.

I just tried using TurboRip to copy my version of PP to my JXD S7300 and it crashed Turborip. 3 times in a row. After rebooting.

So my question is: have you intentionally come up with a way to prevent people from ripping your game, or is this a happy accident?

Happy accident, maybe?

Well congrats! Not all of my CD games made the cut to this device - I only wanted games I knew I was going to play. I'll be limiting this one to the actual hardware, and that's really the best way to play anyway.

Arkhan Asylum · 06/20/2013, 10:39 PM

You can probably use Nero to generate an image that will work in an emulator.

You got a working copy of CDRWin? That one always does the trick.

Bernie · 06/20/2013, 11:05 PM

Just use ImgBurn. Its free and reliable.

roflmao · 06/21/2013, 12:21 AM

Hahaha... Ark, I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to show people how to create backups of your game.

I'm not really into emulation - every once in awhile I get the urge to check it out and I either can't figure out how to get games to play properly, or I get bored. Having said that, I'm pretty sure I have ImgBurn installed and may try to figure out how to use it. This Tablet device is pretty frickin cool for playing TG16/PCE games on the go.

Thanks Ark and Bernie!

Arkhan Asylum · 06/21/2013, 12:48 AM

I don't remember now, but my guess is turbrrborborborbo rip is crashing because there's no warning track this time, so it's having a stroke.

Duo_R · 06/28/2013, 04:30 AM

Can't wait to get this when I get funds looks really cool

Duo_R · 06/28/2013, 04:31 AM

Quick question ark - has a homebrew platformer been developed yet for Turbob?

Jungle Bros.

Well, if this one were done, that would technically be correct, but as it is still in development, the correct answer is "Not yet, but be patient."

If you're looking for a PCE hombrew release list you can find it here, along with titles still in development.

https://www.pcengine-fx.com/forums/index.php?topic=10666.0

The previous Jungle Bros demo that has been shown on disc is as much a complete game as some other "released" hombrew PCE games.

spenoza · 07/03/2013, 09:41 PM

I did use that posting you linked to, BT. And the article has been posted at RB. I'm taking some down time before I tackle a dedicated homebrew/hacks/mods/translations article.

Arjak · 10/14/2013, 03:25 PM

I have FINALLY bought a copy of this. I haven't received any confirmation yet, though. Has my game been shipped, Arkhan?

Yeah I shipped it on Thursday or Friday. It should be there soon.

Sorry about that. I don't print the paypal clicky print label that probably sends you a confirmation email.

I go to the kiosk thing and pay/print there. Those things dispense nice sticky labels.

Arjak · 10/16/2013, 12:45 AM

I received my game today. I just finished playing for the evening, and I really enjoyed it.

While Insanity is definitely a port of Berzerk with few frills, Pyramid Plunder feels like it has a little more of its own identity separate from Pac-Man. The Egyptian theme is quite unique for this genre, and works quite well, and the power-ups that you can activate on command add a good layer of strategy that wasn't there before.

Very nice, Arkhan. I can't wait to try Atlantean.

Arkhan Asylum · 10/16/2013, 03:30 PM

Yeah. We really learned enough from Insanity to go on and make a more complete game, instead of what amounts to a clone with different art.

It will be even more apparent with Atlantean. ;)

Glad you enjoyed the game.
