8-bit classics homebrews

[littleman jack]

Has anyone ever played any of the homebrew 2600 games listed at the 8-bit classics site?

 

They have no screen shots and a video clip player that doesn't seem to work on my computer, so I'm in the dark about these games.

 

I am looking forward to seeing some homebrews that may be released this holiday season, hopefully several by Atari Age as usual. The homebrews here at the Atari Age store have been some of my favorite games for the 2600 (Sea Wolf, Oystron, the hack/virtually homebrew Wolfenstein VCS to name a few).

As far as I can tell the are all just hacks.

 

At AtariAge you can download almost all binaries before you buy the games, there you can't.

Thanks. That's what I suspected, that they were hacks.

 

I've seen other hacks around the web, but the best quality stuff seems to come from right here at Atari Age. I've really enjoyed the hacks, homebrews, and repros from the Atari Age Store, for my 2600, 7800, and 800. I'm hoping to be able to snag a few more this holiday season. Holiday Qb and Reindeer Rescue were both excellent past holiday finds, and a number of homebrews have been regulars in my playing rotation. There are still quite a few from past seasons I still hope to buy eventually as well, such as Melbourne Tatty, Squish Em', Blip Football, Fall Down, and Medieval Mayhem to name a few.

 

Like a kid in a candystore. I'll have to patient though, and pace myself. Unfortunately, there's a lot of other places such as bills that require my attention as well.

Yep, all the homebrews from 8-Bit Classics are hacks. Acid Trip is a graphic-hack of Beany Bopper, AFAIK the rom for this one is not available.

But here are the roms for the other 3.
