[The 2018 Atari Awards!]

I'm looking forward to check all the 2018 homebrews i missed.

[My first book is now available! "Atari 2600 Homebrew Companion" Vol. 1"]

 

Amazon finally OK'd the cover and posted it on their websites!!!!

 

The Atari 2600 Holiday Homebrew Companion paperback book:

 

Just ordered.

[PS2 turns 20 next year, isn't that crazy?]

Jeez, time flies. The PS2 is the newest console i own.

 

Now i feel really old...

[2018 Homebrew Tournament - Stay Frosty 2 - Final Round]

My lame final entry...

[100 cartridge club]

I haven't bought any 2600 games since years. I have around 170+ carts, mostly loose carts with ~20 boxed ones.

 

I'm quite happy with my collection but maybe i should go hunting again next year to get to 200...

[My first book is now available! "Atari 2600 Homebrew Companion" Vol. 1"]

 

The ebook/Kindle version is now available of my Holiday Homebrew book!!!

Update: There's been issues with the paperback version of this book, so I might be awhile longer.

 

 

The hand drawn cover looks awesome and it's a perfect fit for a book about homebrew games.

 

Can't wait to grab the paperback version as soon as it gets released.

Have a look at the Zombie Chase code in the bB "samples" folder.

Thanks for your continued effort and Happy Holidays to you!

[Best boxing games that _aren't_ in the Punch-Out series.]

Star Rank Boxing 2 and Fight Night for the C64 are not too shabby.

 

 

 

[Problem with player1color and pfscroll - need help]

Rise from the grave!

 

After 10 years i forgot most of what i knew about bB so that's a perfect opportunity to try my hands at Down the Chimney once more.

 

I'm looking forward to learn bB again and implement some improvements and new elements i have on my mind. Maybe i can make it a fun to play game this time? Find out one day in 2019 only here at AtariAge. I'll post a new thread in the bB forums once i have a playable demo.

 

For starters here's the last version from 2009 as featured on ZeroPage Homebrew:

[2018 Homebrew Tournament - Stay Frosty 2 - Final Round]

Awesome game! Hope i can do better than my humble first entry:

[2018 Homebrew Tournament - Juno First - Round 6]

Awesome game but playing with a joypad sucks! It's probably much more fun with a joystick on a real 2600.

 

First entry:

[VideoGame Golf]

I don't like real golf but i love Leaderboard Golf on the C64. It's a great game to relax and i don't mind the slow pacing.

Jeez, this game is as infuriating as expected. My best score so far is 13...

 

 

[Warren Robinett's book about making ADVENTURE]

If you're just interested in the creation of Adventure watch this video (without any politic rambles):

 

GDC Classic Postmortem: Warren Robinett's Adventure

 

[Warren Robinett's book about making ADVENTURE]

Someone should tell Warren Robinett that his easter egg in Adventure was not the first easter egg ever. Other people had the same idea before and apparently the first easter egg was in the Channel F Demo Cart (1977) or if you only count games the first one was in Video Whizzball (1978) for the Channel F.
