So, the Boom Bang does contain the coding of Motocross, but it doesn't fire up in any way on a console? In that case, I have to change the info on the gamepage.

Many thanks, Spriggy. Well, I don't know what to think of all this. Seems that both Boom Bang and Gorf from HES only display one game after all, although the instructions suggest something else. I will keep both ROMs in the database. If someone comes up with a different version of Boom Bang or Gorf, please let me know.

Please do. The ROM on the Atarimania site is most probably not the one that's on the cart. Let me know if you start up with a menu and try different difficulty switches. Thanks in advance!

Yes, I know. But that's not the ROM that IMO belongs there. I would like to know what is on the actual cart.

http://www.atarimania.com/game-atari-2600-vcs-gorf_15653.html If so, can you please check for me which games are on the cartridge? The manual states that there may be more than one and that the cart even contains a menu. I think it may contain the same games as Mega Funpak from HES, but I need proof. Thanks in advance!

Will let you know if/when I find these.

This is what I have, Shawn. KVB1.WAV KVB2.WAV KVB3.WAV KVS1.WAV KVS2.WAV KVS3.WAV KVSHARED.WAV

Nice find! I'm pretty sure it contains the final release, but if you spot any differences, let us know.

Yes, that was the WIP name. It was just a publicity stunt to sell more carts of a crappy game IMO.

It's here: http://www.atarimania.com/game-atari-2600-vcs-decatlon_19669.html

Let creativity rule.

Thanks, Thomas! Off Your Rocker shares coding with Gopher? That's interesting. Or was Off Your Rocker put on an old Gopher EPROM or something?

That must have been an insane amount of work Hats off to you. Very impressive.

Nope. Contest was never held. Octopus is just the name under which Carrere Video released it

No, you're not dreaming. I created a Hacks & Homebrew collection many years ago. It contained every hack and homebrew between 1993 and 2007. Then another AA member took it over from me and tried to keep up with all the stuff that was released. Alas... His latest attempt must be downloadable somewhere.

I have this pictures from many years ago. As you can see, it comes with a black & white manual.

Great! Thanks for sharing!

Excellent article. Many thanks for sharing, Rob!

These last third party PAL ROMs have never been dumped: - Coco Nuts (Telesys) - Plate Mania (Home Vision) - Stargunner (Telesys) - Stronghold (CommaVid) - Topy (Home Vision) - X’Mission (Home Vision) The Home Vision ones are PAL originals. If anyone with a dumper has the chance to .bin these, please let me know. Also interested in a ROM dump of Air Battle: http://www.atarimania.com/game-atari-2600-vcs-air-battle_19390.html

Great catch! No coincidence here IMO.

It's a good game, but A+ is IMO overrated. After playing several rounds it becomes repetitive IMO and the gameplay wears off for me.
