There's so many great homebrews in the AtariAge store that if you ask 5 different people you're likely to get 5 different responses, but for my tastes I'd go with:
Dungeon
Lady Bug
Lead
Wolfenstein VCS: The Next Mission
Zippy the Porcupine
Lead is awesome.

Thanks! Yes, there will be a PAL60 version available when the game is released this year.

This year? You better hurry!

That's great to hear, I'm glad you're enjoying it!
Dave Dries did an exceptional job on the manual, as well as Nathan and Mike with the graphics and sounds.Once you've had a chance to play a bit, be sure to leave a review in the Atari Age store!

Will do!

Just got my copy of this. All I can say is that I'm blown away at how gorgeous the whole package is. From the beautiful box art, to the manual, to the game itself. A perfect 10.

Well that settles that...I need to start a "Champ Games" budget.
You guys never cease to amaze. 
You’re not kidding.

Update: Thanks to Nathan, we now have animal sprites (and I got them running around the cage). He's also updated the bonus item graphics (and I have the timer semi-working).
Here's a link to the WIP in action:Zoo Keeper (2600) WIP - animals in action!
Up next: having the animals spawn in the middle cage and have them try to break thru the bricks.

Looks awesome, Nathan!

Love it!

I think you managed to place your order before I even made my above post!!
..Al
I think it was just good timing.

You're welcome! I've updated Scramble in the store, so you can now order it with a box:

Enjoy!
..Al
Ordered! Thanks again!

Is there any way to buy Scramble with a box via AtariAge?
-
Eat lots of worms.
Under any other circumstances that would be terrible advice.

I don't know how you guys did it, but the game play is very smooth. It’s easy to make the tongue go where you want it to.
I like the animated aardvark intro and would leave it as-is. Also like the built-in pause that the Bonus provides between levels.
Like John, I made it to the 2nd hill, the 2nd time around, but I didn't lose my high score in the subsequent game.
I played the ROM on my 7800 via Harmony Encore.
I'll try to play some more this weekend.
How the hell did you get a score that high? I got 10,000 and was psyched.

That's for sure! One tip: kill the BURWORS (blue monsters) early before they speed up as the monsters they spawn take on the speed of the monster that was killed.
Also, since STANDARD is meant to be like the arcade (ie. a quarter muncher), you can try NOVICE for a slower ramp up of the speed (plus less monsters to start).
Thanks for the feedback!
Thanks! The quality of your games is amazing.

Hi Moonsweeper!
Thank you so much for your input. Yes, I plan to have a limited edition of signed games with a color manual, box and poster. We'll also be adding a complete set of the Collectible Trading Cards for the game. You can view the first card and subscribe to my mailing list at https://www.dankitchengames.com. The game will have almost 75 enemies and obstacles which will be highlighted on these Trading Cards.
The game is now called DAN KITCHEN'S GOLD RUSH!™. In my upcoming newsletter I'll be releasing images of the train cars and obstacles.
Thank's again for your kind words!
Dan K.
Sounds awesome!
