Months ago, BBG Entertainment confirmed Dynablaster confirmed the game is coming for the Atari VCS, and almost all other platforms, including the delayed Intellivision Amico (in another "exclusive" version). https://dynablaster.com/ I'm wondering if the game is delayed pending the release of that console, but that seems unlikely, as it's coming out for so many platforms. The ability to play cross-platform online would be very good. There's been a lot of interest in the game for the Amico. How do you feel about this game for the VCS? UPDATED: Relates to newer thread, which supercedes this.

I read in the recent financial report from Atari they’re going to port Citytopia and Days of Doom to PC and Consoles, removing the micro transactions and sell at a premium price.

I have not seen this game announced by Atari, but the developer posted videos of the game. The developer web-site is here. https://pixel.lu/ There are videos posted by Pixel Games on YouTube.

If you go to the VCS store at the moment, and select Missile Command, the background image is still showing "Atari Combat Tank Fury" which must be a forthcoming game for the VCS, too. Oops. The previous mobile version is described here. https://www.atari.com/games/atari-combat-tank-fury/ The VCS version, and the release-date for this is unknown, but it ties with the Atari statement that they intend to bring other Atari games from other platforms to the VCS too. (e.g. Pong RPG)

(Now confirmed by the developer.) According to this article, "Bite The Bullet" is coming to the VCS soon. https://screenrant.com/atari-vcs-september-games-joust-guntech/ Graffiti Games is a publisher, for Indie titles, and was mentioned by Atari earlier. https://www.graffitigames.com/

Interesting status update and info from a quarterly financial filing by Atari: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/atari-annual-results-2020-2021-170000106.html?guccounter=1 Here in particular are things that seemed worth breaking out into their own discussions: 1. Sounds like we are finally getting Tempest 4000 and Rollercoaster Tycoon. 2. "Native" retro emulation is very interesting, mentioned on their web site as well. Could be super sweet. 3. The "homebrew initiative" sounds ambitious. Also sounds like a project that could easily fail and be tough to do right. But maybe? 4. Cloud game streaming with "direct" access along with "direct" access to the G-Suite. Does this mean more than just front end links in AtariOS? Maybe, maybe not? 5. "Streamlined" access to PC Mode with easy to use USB thumb drive accessories. I'm - guessing - this means you can buy an Atari/PowerA or something branded Windows 10 USB on a stick? -

Some months back this announcement was made by Ultra, and it just seemed to drop into a hole, with nothing apparently happening so far. Also, it wasn't exactly clear what Ultra was, or what it might be useful for, but recently there has been more information, and it seems very interesting. Ultra have an amazing range of partners, of whom Atari is only one, but it's coming to the VCS. https://medium.com/ultra-io/atari-partners-with-ultra-to-add-games-communities-and-services-to-its-atari-vcs-home-f48d3c970cca From the announcement made last autumn... Ultra is creating an entertainment platform that enables gamers to play, discover, buy, trade, earn, stream, compete, and socialize with zero friction. Having already partnered with software and hardware giants such as Ubisoft and AMD, Ultra now teams up with Atari to make their platform accessible through the new Atari VCS “PC/console hybrid” games and entertainment system, which launches this fall. Atari, known globally for some of the most beloved video games in history, will likewise be part of the Ultra experience. Ultra users will have the ability to join an Atari dedicated community and play classic Atari games including Asteroids®, Centipede®, Missile Command®, Pong®, and RollerCoaster Tycoon®. Hot Property The eagerly-anticipated Atari VCS video computer system will launch later this year, and also be available to purchase on Ultra using UOS or Atari Tokens — giving crypto and gaming enthusiasts the perfect platform to purchase the new hardware. Atari is also exploring the use of Ultra’s technology including its NFT framework as a way to update many of its most-popular titles with new technologies. The Ultra platform will directly integrate within the Atari VCS, allowing users to purchase, download and play PC games from Ultra on the system, and give gamers instant access to a huge array of titles from triple-A games to lovingly-crafted indie gems.

To me, Indie game development is a good route for games on Atari VCS. It looks fun to me, and made in The Netherlands.
