AtariAge at 2005 Philly vgXpo

Adventure II is the much-anticipated, unofficial sequel to Atari's classic Adventure on the 2600. As the game is being written for the Atari 5200, it will be larger and more detailed than the original, while still remaining faithful to the traits that made the classic Adventure memorable even after 25 years. AtariAge will have a new demo of Adventure II at the 2005 Philly vgXpo, so visitors to the show will have the privilege of being the first to see the game's latest progress!

At this point the game is nearly complete, and we expect to start selling copies in December. The version of Adventure II we'll have in Philly will be very close to the final game! We recently held a Ye Olde Adventure II Contest on AtariAge to solicit alternate player icons as well as ranking slogans.

You can learn more about Adventure II by visiting Ron Lloyd's Adventure II Development Page.
