By chance I found some pictures in Google which looked unfamiliar but definitely Atari 2600 style. So I went to this website (German only). There I found two homebrews (Hugohunt and Pilot X, the latter was unknown to me), which are down ports of German Atari 8 Bit (Hugojagd) and C16 (Pilot X) games. Have a look, pretty cool stuff!

I’ve seen some YouTube vids about this Donkey Kong PK, having 4 stages and being closer to the Arcade in other respects too. Looks very nice indeed. But where to get it? Or how to get it? Anyone? -
Following this post I thought it would be a good idea to discuss how to preserve the Atari 2600 and all things around it for the future. The people interested into Atari 2600 are getting older on average. Eventually most of us will be gone. What happens then to our legacy? Who will take care of the numerous collections? Who will look after our homebrews, the documents, our tools etc. And last not least AtariAge (and other websites) who tell the stories of Atari 2600. Accidents can happen to us everyday and sooner or later we have to face the end of our lives. How many of you have taken care of? And what can and should we do now?

Hi AtariAge, I just was recently introduced to Atari 2600 development and wanted to share a few things I came up with... BitQuest An adventure-type game with a fairly large over-world along with some randomly placed dungeons to explore. Fishy A simple two-player competition to collect points and power-ups NanoWing A random "don't crash into things" space type game. PotHole Basically, driving in New England. In any case, the games are attached and ready to go, along with some "labels" I made up. I'd also be happy to share any source code with anyone who's interested! Have fun and let me know what you think. Thanks for letting me join in the fun on AtariAge. bitquest.bin fishy.bin nanowing.bin pothole.bin

Feeding My Atari Video #1: Over $500 Dollars Worth Of Gaming Goodness
cessnaace posted a blog entry in cessnaace's Blog
In this video, just uploaded to Youtube, I show over $500 worth of Atari Homebrew gaming goodness for the 2600 VCS, 7800 ProSystem, and Jaguar. Even so I missed some, so I'll need to do another video. Technically some of these games are Homebrew ports of Arcade games, but there are many that are totally original as well. Most were purchased from Atari Age. I purposely left out the Custom Reproductions that I have ordered, as I'm saving them for an upcoming video. While the above video was uploading, I discovered that I now have a second supporter on Patreon. Supporters get exclusive content, which I plan on expanding what I offer as I go along. https://www.patreon.com/user?u=11084981 -
Hi folks, As stated in the title, I'm looking for a couple Vectrex homebrews by Revival Studios that I missed out on. 1.) Debris Revisited 2.) Rush Hour If anyone has either one, or both of these titles, please hit me up if you're willing to part with them or perhaps let me borrow them. PayPal ready! *Note - I have some items I could possibly trade for them as well.. See my for sale thread over in the marketplace. I finally found Dead of Knight & Nox/Death Chase and have replaced those two titles with a couple more that I don't yet have. Thanks!

In my latest episode I discuss some of my favorite Atari 2600 Homebrews. I know there are A LOT of them, probably in the hundreds, but these are just some of them. I give all the credit in the world to the programmers who make these games, as I can't even imagine the amount of time and effort that goes into making the simplest games. I have a lot of ideas for games myself, but I lack the patience to do it! There are so many talented programmers out there, and I know that someday I'll have to do a followup. If you have any suggestions for homebrews that I missed, please let me know. Also, please don't forget to subscribe to my channel if you haven't already. Thank you.

So I'm new to retro gaming, having recently purchased my 2nd ever Atari last December with a gap of 33 years in between the latest one and my last. I was blown away at the concept of homebrews, not even aware of such a thing prior to doing research. When I discovered AtariAge and their online store, it wasn't long before I ordered a copy of both Super Cobra Arcade and Draconian, both of which are completely awesome. Now I assumed that the 3 new homebrews available for the Atari 2600 in October and the previous 7 made available in the summer was an average number that I could expect each year. But going back to earlier years, it seems that 2017 had a bit of a bumper crop. Was 2017 an anomaly and I shouldn't expect as many homebrews released on cartridge and boxed in subsequent years, or is the homebrew scene getting larger and I can expect as many or more homebrews each year in the future? -
Well dont' get nervous, it's just a small problem and it only accures to very little of homebrews when i play them on the Intellivision using LTO Flash (99% are ok). First John D's "Old School", i'm sure this problem won't appear on a cratridge because i have a idea where it comes from and since the machine had to be shut off before you can play another game their wont' be nothing which can produce this. however, if i run "Old School" (Old school High, Kid Robin Hood), the screen is garbled up and the sprites and background cards display something weird. to sad in this way it's not playable, or no fun to play it, you can see what happens but erm... Second, decles whole StudiVision project shows something quite similar on the background, the playfield itself is clean. here it's to see where it comes from (at least for the Studiovision, the problem of "Old School" could be caused by something else), you can define the characters used in the LTO Flash menu. for StudioVision it's not a big problem, you can still play the games, it's really only the background which shows this problem. but well it's a tiny bit sad. what you can't see: if you start any StudioVision game the screen will show a "faked" b&w "Mattel screen" (the palette), emulated all stripes appear, played via LTO on the real harware only one of the stripes is left. To say i expect it's not a problem of the LTO flash, i expect the games didn't proberly blank the graphical ram? (should i send out TRON to fix this? clearing the flags?). It will be no problem if it's the sole game in a emulator or a sole game as a cartridge, there will be no remnants of a former program. but maybe i'm wrong and someone has a solution for this. decle can certainly update his stuff, for "Old School" i'm not certain about. also i'm not sure how far the once downloaded "Old School" is identical to the released cartridge. these two are all problems that accured to me so far with the LTO Flash and homebrews. ...so far, i haven't tested all of them, "Old School" was randomly selected by me "let's see..." and StudioVision i certainly played. Star Wars, which is damned to easy anyway and even easier on my slower PAL console. while the concept of "Star Wars" i like, this sort of dogfight together with a docking sequence (move crosshair, correct velocity, imo the docking sequence should be no simple intermission scene) and buy this good - sell this good (e.g. king of the mountain, need so and so tons of hydrogene, food supply etc) can make a good game (do you remember "return to earth"?). well you can't procedural generate planets and whole systems, or maybe... if the idea is reduced to the non graphical stuff. a little of "star wars", a little of "lunar lander", a little of "King of the Mountain" and a little of "trollish comment generator" makes.... Elite for the Intellivision? Further: you can see that i have on my mothers TV the same "tearing in" issue, i still believe it's the VSYNC. as i reported on my old tube TV i can fix this by screwing on the proper variable resistor until the tearing vanishes. my mothers flatscreen i didn't like to open, also it seems more problematic to me to run and modify it because first i have to dismount the socket, but without a socket i can't put the TV upright to get on it's back and watch at the same time what happens on the screen. well the good old days when a tv's back was covered with tared cardboard and fixed without a single screw... yes it's dangerous this guy manipulates on the high voltage parts, blindfolded... (you have to watch the screen and fumble around in the guts of the tube, or use a mirror). it was stated that a manual adjusting of the channel can help. yes i know even this i know from the past, but as soon as the teraring vanishes the picture is bad and full of ghosts. I have no idea what's the proper solution for a digital TV, except to open it and hope that there is still this vr to adjust VSYNC.

Hey guys, I just thought I would try to clear something up with you since the people in this forum probably know more than anyone about this subject. There has been some discussion lately within a certain group (I promised them that I would not say who) that are claiming some higher-profile programmer is working on a Resident Evil-type game for the 7800. I'm fully aware of the limitations of the system, but have heard this over and over again. Is it possible? I mean, we have games like Midnight Mutants and such, so maybe a Resident Evil is not too far off? What do you think? Have you heard anything about a project like this? I asked Al, and he hasn't heard about anyone attempting this. It would be cool just because of the title (like Halo 2600, and a well-made game I might add) What do you all think?

I know that this may cultivate a divisive discussion around here--the old ColecoVision was meant to be played with its native controllers argument. I've paid attention to that argument, and I've seen the truth in it! Especially with the ball-knob enhancement. But now, finally having a drop-in PCB for the Famicom NTT Data controller, there is at long last a compete solution in using a fantastic D-Pad type controller for the ColecoVision!! This was a quiet little release by atariguy1021, but I hope to keep the torch burning in support of this killer homebrew product. Thanks goes to him for his fantastic work! I'd like to add that I was a fortunate kid, in that I grew up in the 70s and 80s, loving video games throughout the decades. After the U.S. market went bust and 2 years of home computing went by, the NES came on the scene and the rest is history. With that, I'm skilled and fluent in both traditional controllers ("Joysticks") as well as D-Pads. For certain game programming the pad just feels right! ...So here is a short list of some games and gameplay that I've tested with my new ColecoVision Super +Control Pad™ Please feel free to add opinions, write-ups, and reviews of your experiences, likes, and dislikes to this list. Games that Play Better with the Control Pad: A. ) Classic games: Lady Bug - can move around corners much easier, but the game mechanics put in place by the programmers are still prohibitive. Buck Rogers - maneuver your ship with ease. Can blast saucers with less effort and far better gliding skill. Gyruss - this game was designed to use the D pad. Gameplay is now utterly phenomenal, fully playable, and you'll go much farther if you're an experienced "pad professional". Looping - Another game where the D-pad breathes new life into it. Maneuver your airplane with ease. Was able to get to the "End" for the first time! Omega Race - I could go either way on this one, but the pad does help with fluidity in the movement of your ship. Spy Hunter: much more fluidity and the super action controls are much easier to use on the pad. Root Beer Tapper: so much easier, it makes for championship game play. Must play on skill level four! Montezuma's Revenge - A great example of what the pad can do with rigid game mechanics. At the risk of overemphasizing, plays far more like Super Mario Bros. (without the jumping mechanics of course) Star Wars - plays better, but this would do well with a game hack. Ultimately this game needs smoother controls, and up and down directionals could be (re-) reversed. [Also a hack of the music to be louder and multi-tonal would be awesome!] Burgertime: much better gameplay--just like with Lady Bug--eliminates the rigidity of turning corners, etc. B.) Modern games: Wonder Boy: allows the game to be actually playable. I'm pretty sure this game was meant for a pad because it was designed for the Sega SG series of gaming consoles. Much better control over your character and better maneuverability. Twin Bee - Along with Star Force, these vertical scrolling shooters were meant for the pad. Much better maneuverability and control over your ship, and much more fluidity when it comes to fire power. Mario Bros. - another game where you could truly go either way with the controllers, but the pad gives it that classic Nintendo feel. More like playing it on the GameBoy. Star Force - Very similar to TwinBee in its ship's control improvement. Road Fighter - Level mastering freedom! Way easier to maneuver your vehicle and pass levels. Ms. Pac-Man - Again, this one could go either way. Depends on your preference, I think. With your thumb on the pad, you'll have to lift it a bit (rather than rock the pad with your thumb), in order to precisely press each direction. Joust (Team Pixelboy release) - Amazing improvement! Excellent fluidity and control. I could play this one for hours vice using the standard controller. These are just a few games that I've had the chance to experience since I got my Super +Control Pad put together last night. I know there are many more experiences out there, so again, let's hear yours!- 6 replies

Hi guys, I'm new is this forum and I've searching around to find some homebrews for Genesis/MegaDrive but I had no success. Could anyone please help me?

Hi Guys, I am pretty new to Intellivision. Thanks to some recent Craigslist scores, I now have an original Intellivision, two Intellivision 2's, 2 voice synths, and about 50 games. I am really enjoying the system so far and I'm having a blast with it! I feel like i've "clicked" with it much faster than with some other retro systems i've picked up. At any rate, though I have plenty of the regular library I need to enjoy still, I am interested in picking up some of the home-brew titles for the system. I know the AA store has a few. I also realize that a flash cart is in development but not quite available yet. That being said, i'd love to know if any of the following titles are available ANYWHERE other than ebay for like $150; which I cannot abide. -Christmas Carol -D2k Arcade -Space Patrol -Ms. Pac Man -Ms. Night Stalker -Donkey Kong Arcade -Stonix -Super Chef BT -Super Pro Tennis Any other good homebrews out there I am missing? Thanks, and if these are all out of print and unavailable I suppose I can wait for an SD cart Thanks!

I was wondering if anyone knew of anyway to put an atari rom on to a cartridge. I'm not looking for a flashcart or any emulation systems or programs. I have heard about things that you can plug a cartridge into and load it from a computer, if anyone has information about anything like this or anything else that would work please let me know.

Mario Bros Elevator Action Lock N' Chase Heli Fire Side Trak Don't have anything to trade so just looking to purchase, hope to hear from somebody......

Hey there everyone! After taking a few weeks to evaluate my gaming hobby and where I want to put my collecting focus in the future I've decided that it's time to liquidate my Atari 2600 collection to bring in a little cash and help me focus my collecting efforts over the next year on the systems I really love the most: Nintendo handhelds and the GameCube. I will be a little sad to see all this Atari stuff that I've spent so much time and money collecting go, but honestly I just don't really play them anymore and I'd rather they go to good homes that will use and appreciate them more.

Are these both the same game? Are they even legit? I'd like a Jr. Pac-Man, but I'm not sure what I'm getting here. One of the labels looks like the 7800 Jr. Pac-Man. http://www.ebay.com/itm/ATARI-5200-Jr-PACMAN-Junior-PAC-MAN-NTSC-VIDEO-GAME-CARTRIDGE-/201537020276?hash=item2eec8ae174:g:HdoAAOSwZ8ZW3eyt http://www.ebay.com/itm/ATARI-5200-Jr-PACMAN-Junior-PAC-MAN-NTSC-VIDEO-GAME-CARTRIDGE-/191821666517?hash=item2ca97658d5:g:g7kAAOSwh-1W3exR

Hi guys, Making that final push to clear out my collection. I've really enjoyed having these rare games and I've displayed them for many years in my office. I have two young children and I want them to be able to play with anything in my office. So, I'm clearing out my entire collection finally. I have the following rare items that may be of interest to collectors. League of light and robot rubble. The boxes are not even built and are flat. Minehunter number 26 This auction is ending soon. Same game and robots #26 Stonix #26 4-tris (LTO) Cuttle cart 3 (no cart shell, but includes labels , cable and cart board. ) System changer (Going up today) -PENDING SALE Orphan overlays series 3 MIB Rocky and bullwinkle Adventures of tron Space Patrol Donkeykong (homebrew) Stadium mud buggies Congo Bongo Mountain madness super pro skiing Pending Sale All the other normal games CIB the hardware (console, voice etc) If you PM me, PM me with a reasonable offer unless I have it listed on Ebay. That reasonable offer will be slightly lower than what I think it might go for in auction. But let's be reasonable. And I'm more inclined to try to take my chances on ebay unless someone just HAS to have something I listed. :-) I will probably not get back right away as I only visit the forum occasionally. just watch my ebay "nicepurchase" Thanks guys and good luck! -Duane
