Hi All,

My name is Matthijs de Bruin. I'm a 31 year old photographer and graphic designer from the Netherlands. I briefly played UT99 when it came out. Because this was some time before we all had decent Internet connections we used to bring our desktop towers, monitors and boxes of cables, mice, speakers and other related objects to one of our homes, hooked up and terminated the coaxial cables and usually played Lava Giant or November over and over again. At least, that's what I remember. We must've played other maps, but Lava Giant and November where our favourites.

I joined this forum because I recently started developing a port of UT99 for the Atari2600. The Atari VCS is older than I am and has many, many limitations, but I hope to make this into the best UT99 tribute I can possibly make. :tu:

To do this, I will need some information from UT99 fans who clocked more hours playing the game than I did.

The game is still in early stage of development, but can be found on the AtariAge.com forum under the subsection '2600 programming'

You know I still had my Atari 2600, and a bunch of games, when ut99 was first released... but it's gone now.

Darn it.

That's supposed to be The Last Command (CTF-Command) :lol: I'll post some screenshots of the other maps tomorrow on the General Discussions board.
