File Name: Octopus (Nintendo 1981)

File Submitter: STAT

File Submitted: 30 Dec 2017

File Category: VPX Originals

Author(s): STAT
fisch
Permission to MOD?: Yes, with approval


So here is Nintendo Game and Watch: Octopus from 1981
 
So, the Story is stupid as awesome for me, because i come to this over hundreds of Ideas,
at the end i wanted to try simple Animations in a directb2s ... but first with a "Ball Barrel based" Donkey Kong on Playfield ...
 
Whatever, now you can Play a Game and Watch just with your Left and Right Flipper Keys ...
 
Sorry, directb2s only, so just mod it to a DT Version or go to your Cab with this.
 
Just something to do, i wanted a "Time" and there is a small "Image" Bugs, but it is full playable.
 
Enjoy - Happy New Year !
 
 
Here is a (Fantasy) Interview ;)
 
Kid: Hey cool, a new VPX Table ...
Man: No, this is not a Table ...
Kid: What, but this is a .vpx File ...
Man: Yes ...
Kid: But there is also a .directb2s File, of Course this is a Backglass...
Man: No, this is not a Backglass ...
Kid: What, but a .vpx and a .directb2s is always a Pinball ...
Man: No ...
Kid: What the Hell, then what is it ?
Man: a Game and Watch
Kid: ...

Hello STAT,

now my enthusiasm for your publication a little more precisely
and an idea that has developed from it.

I play octopus on my laptop.
To do this, I change my screen background and ScreenRes.
With the help of WinSplitRevolution I let the table "disappear" from the screen.
That's the result:

gameandwatch-octopus(nintendo1981)_t.png

since the whole thing is a bit cumbersome I had the idea to put
the background image into the b2s.I get this error message:

error0_t.png

I know that I didn't ask for permission to change the B2s
but I only want it for myself. I don't want to publish it.
Can you still help me?

If you like this idea, I would be happy if you take it up.
Maybe you can even animate the buttons.I found this picture
while googling:

gameandwatch2-octopus(nintendo1981)_t.pn

Thanks again for the work
fisch

Hi, I´m again

I have made 3 different Octopus game and watch DT variants
by STAT of its publication.
If the publisher is interested, please report!

octopus(nintendo1981)b2sorginalmitbackgl

octopus(nintendo1981)b2sorginalmitbackgl

octopus(nintendo1981)fischmodmitbackglas

I use these ScreenRes
o_t.png
when the "table" is invited I just have to press TAB and i have the
result in DT mode of the images shown. However, I use additional programs.
I don't know if it works anywhere. But it can be a nice suggestion.

Here is a (Fantasy 2) Interview:

KID : Why would you do that?

MAN : I´m a game and watch fan and I love this STAT publication

Kid : But this is a not a vpx File ...

MAN : But it's crazyes, it is a directb2s File ...

Kid : 3 different Octopus files. Why?

MAN : I am an old retro fan ;-))

Hello and a late happy new year.

 

Is there any new information about Nintendo Game and Watch games that can be played with directb2s?

Are there any chances for another Game and Watch game?

OKAY. OKAY. I understand.

Unfortunately, I don't have enough time for my hobby either.

Hopefully when I retire in a couple of years I can take my time and learn
