    At least the label is halfway decent. It's sort of a cross between Atari's text labels and picture labels amd looks good.

    When the best compliment you can give a game is "Well, the label looks good" there is cause for concern

    A lot of Bit Corp. games are pretty lousy. Dancing Plate is one. The game is about spinning an increasing amount of plates on poles. And... that's it. Really. Horrible music is the cherry on top of the minimal gameplay.

    slight bump here...

    I just purchased this here game for a whopping $3.18 (tax included)

    just spent the last 30 minutes playing, and it is indeed a very low quality game...

    but… but… I kind of like it in a strange way! I am having fun playing it
    I am going to seek the other Mythicon games now as well as a few other games mentioned in this thread!

    You could even film yourself playing them and get some fellow forumites to provide commentary, ala MST3k. I'd watch.

    Well, the brilliance of Mythicon's game line-up is that they're exactly the same code base, just slightly altered graphics and sounds along with minor tweeks in gameplay. So if you've played one of their games, you've played all three and you don't know it yet. The guy who programmed the original game (I read an interview with him years back) said that he turned in the first game as a demonstration of his ability to program the 2600, and they wanted to publish it. Then they had someone alter that game and make two variants on the original so they could have a fuller catalog. It was all a ploy to get their slice of the market and try to get companies to hire them to manufacture cartridges for them, since they came up with a way to make Atari carts dirt cheap in comparison to the other manufacturers.
