and features a growing repository of comprehensive prototype reviews for
the 2600, 5200, 7800 and Atari 8-bit computers. Each prototype is vigorously played until enough is learned that a thorough review accompanied by many screenshots can be written, and

Baroque Gaming
Baroque Gaming was founded in late 1999 by a group of three people who thought it would be cool to right a video game of some sort as an educational and fun project. This would eventually lead to the release of two Atari 2600 homebrew games, Warring Worms and its sequel, Warring Worms: The Worm Returns. You can learn more about Warring Worms and Baroque Gaming's other classic gaming projects over at their website. |

batari Basic
batari Basic (bB) is a BASIC-like language for creating Atari 2600 games. It is a compiled language and the compiler runs on a computer, but it creates a binary file that can be run on an Atari 2600 emulator or used to make a cartridge that will operate on a real Atari 2600. batari Basic started as a vision to create a simplified programming platform so that one could learn the intricacies of Atari 2600 programming and one day move on to programming in assembly language, but its goals have since expanded as the language has evolved. |
