A little bit better, made it to the second level. The game grows on you! 15,400

Impressive!

Just getting on the board. Tough game! 7150

That's the one! I didn't realize it was a homebrew, I was just in my list of roms and i was looking arond for a bonus game.

A game I've never played (that I can remember, it looks vaguely familiar, maybe I tried the rom at some point). I checked it out briefly, seems kind of like a ninja-themed Rambo. Nothing wrong with that. This round runs February 26 - March 10. For a bonus point, play a port of the c64 classic Bruce Lee.

Due to popular demand we'll start this up again. Let me know if there are games you want play! Usual rules apply - be sure to read the difficulty or settings to play on, no continues or save states, please post screenshots if at all possible. I'm going to try something different with the scoring, only counting the top 5 scores (5 points to the top score, 4 to the next, etc.). Bonus game will usually be one point just for trying it.

EA of course! It's in the game...

I'll look at starting up a spring season, my schedule is a bit crazy right now but I can make time for the Master System!

I'll think about it, thanks for letting us know you're interested. Anyone else want to see a spring round?

One of these days - I have some ideas for the torch mechanic. Glad you liked the demo.

I turned 50 last year and I still enjoy playing Atari games, no reason to think I won't enjoy them the rest of my life. Collecting? I'm not actively seeking out Atari carts anymore, but if I saw something I didn't have and the price was right I'd pick it up. These days it's tough to find those deals, so who knows if I'll ever buy another (non-AA) cartridge. That's kind of an interesting thought. I think the last cart I bought was Piece O' Cake a couple of years ago.

That's pretty cool!

10 Yard Fight on the NES

I always liked it to. Our local mom & pop arcade - Fantasy Isle - had a Space Fury cab and it was one I always played when I went there.

I've never tried 3D glasses with it!

One of my very favorite 2600 games: Ghost Manor!

Wow, Golden Axe looks a lot better than I had expected. Definitely interested.

Tell me what game you'd like to see released by Atari in the future for the 2600+ 4-in-1 Swordquest cart, with repro feelies. All four games in one cart with instruction manuals, comics, etc. I always liked the series, but I just got Fire/Earth loose through garage sales 30+ years ago.

It's the idea of a game I want to make - usually a general game mechanic paired with a setting. It's not really visual concept, more gameplay concepts (maze game with this feature, side scroller with that mechanic, etc). I (almost) always have a theme or setting as well, which goes hand in hand with it. Everything follows those two, but games always evolve along the way. I never start with a clear picture of the final product and work backward, I start with a general direction and see where the hardware and the game itself take me.
