There was this huge retro gaming expo in Gothenburg, Sweden today and i meet this cool indie dev that had made an awesome Atari 2600 game for the expo. I found it incredible addictive and told him he had to post it here, which he made note of, i appologize in advace if i'm stepping on any toes but i just gotta share this sweet game like right now. It was posted on Daniel Remar's twitter feed a couple weeks ago so i feel free to share it with you all. If Daniel reads this, please respond, i belive there's alot of people that wanna thank you for this wonderfull game.
By the way, yeah.. that's J.Ö.R.G.E.N with an "O" with two dots over the letter, we're swedish god damn it.
The game is made to be played in NTSC mode, I played it on a Atari 2600 Junior powered by a Harmony card. The superb looking cover made for J.Ö.R.G.E.N (i didn't take any pictures unfortunately) are made by steamgear and could be found here: http://steamgear.deviantart.com/art/The-Atari-2600-covers-451820185
The other covers seems to be for other new homebrew games by other authors, i dunno if they have been posted on here but they are mentioned on Daniel Remars Twitter feed: https://twitter.com/reallyremar
Description from the read me:
The game is made to be played in NTSC mode
STORY -----------------------
Piloting the lightning-fast SIV, you have entered J.Ö.R.G.E.N.'s dimension in an attempt to stop its terrible creatures from invading Earth. Collect the SUPER BOMBS to destroy your enemies, dodge the deadly raining LASER PLATES and face off with J.Ö.R.G.E.N. itself in the amazing finale! GAMEPLAY -----------------------
Collect the yellow SUPER BOMB to defeat your enemy and advance to the next level. Avoid the falling LASER PLATES and ENEMIES. Hold down the joystick button to TURBO BOOST. Boosting is the key to victory! You get an extra life when you're halfway to J.Ö.R.G.E.N., and another if you manage to defeat it. Each time you complete the game, the LASER PLATES will fall faster. After clearing the game three times, the enemies will be randomized and you get no more extra lives. After losing a life, you will restart on the far side of the screen. Don't worry, you will never restart underneath a falling LASER PLATE. When all your lives are lost, the game is over. Note: There is a short delay before you can restart the game after getting a Game Over.
