    Star Castle Arcade (2014) is the result of a cooperation with Chris Walton (Nathan Strum did the graphics). Chris started the game and I finalized it.

  2. Darryl, I tried to figure out how to do the Quadrant design, but without someone showing me what I'm doing, I'm lost. I don't have any programming experience so that's probably why I can't figure it out.

    I content just being the Atari 2600 Homebrew Curator of the "List".

     

    Still awesome work Darryl!!

  3. I found this within the AA forums awhile back.....explains the answers to your questions (somewhat)..........



    I assume the first number was meant to be a prefix indicating the type of game.


    0=Arcade/Action

    01 Combat

    02 Air-Sea Battle

    03 Star Ship


    1=Racing/Driving

    11 Indy 500

    12 Street Racer


    2=Sports

    21 Video Olympics

    23 Baseball (prototype)


    Not sure why they skipped 3


    4=?Miscellaneous?

    41 Surround


    5=Card/Casino Games

    51 Blackjack


    6=Educational

    61 Basic Math


    Some of those Sears game titles make me wonder though.

    Speedway 2? Where's Speedway 1?

    Breakaway 4? Where's 1 through 3?

    Re: Speedway II: Sears had dedicated consoles called Speedway and Speedway IV (designed by Atari IIRC). I guess Speedway II was supposed to be part of that succession.

    Re: Breakaway IV: Sears' version of the Video Pinball console was called Pinball Breakaway, so that jives, but the IV stumps me. For up to 4 players maybe?


    Sears versions

    01 Combat = Tank Plus

    02 Air-Sea Battle = Target Fun

    03 Star Ship = Outer Space

    11 Indy 500 = Race

    12 Street Racer = Speedway II

    21 Video Olympics = Pong Sports

    41 Surround = Chase

    51 Blackjack surprisingly = Blackjack

    61 Basic Math = (just) Math & also Atari re-titled it "Fun with Numbers"
