Promising New Hombrews For VCS

[sandmountainslim]

Some VERY interesting new games in production down in the Homebrew forum, I don't know how many of you pay a visit there daily.

 

 

Jack and the Beanstalk

http://www.atariage.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=118991

Chris has been working almost non-stop on this one lately and has now finished with the second level and began work on the third. Been playing this one for days as he works on it andif you haven't played it you should give it a try.

 

 

Circus Galacticus

http://www.atariage.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=136119

Jarod is putting together a futuristic style gladiator battle and this is also a very fun game to play even in incomplete condition.

 

 

Dungeon

http://www.atariage.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=127378

A good D&D Style dungeon crawl which plays alot like an advanced Pirate.

 

 

Cave In

http://www.atariage.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=116030

An adventure style Indiana Jonesish game which is VERY impressive and appears to be finished and just waiting on production of carts.

 

 

Spider Game

http://www.atariage.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=135482

A good platformer in developement.

 

 

Debro Pac-Man

http://www.atariage.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=81989

Dennis has managed to squeeze a good port of Pac into 4K and it looks and plays unbelievably well. Hack 'Em quality in the same size package as the thing which Atari and Tod Frye gave us.

 

 

 

 

If I have left any games out I apologize, these are the ones I have been playing recently and which have captured my attention.

yea i love watching stuff in the homebrew forum, but i'm sure many who don't will appreciate this all-in-one repository of sorts.

 

cave-in is my fave so far. kinda reminds me of an old 'exploring' arcade game where u had a whip, had a c=64 port and I can't remember the name... the home versions had nothing on the arcade game tho. (I usually prefer home versions )

This game isn't new but the ROM has just been posted yesterday:

 

Cold War (from Stella's Stocking)

http://www.atariage.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=136411

[ls650]

That Juno First is an awesome space shooter. I will want a copy of that if it ever becomes available on cartridge!

[sandmountainslim]

Let's not forget LEAD! Now that is a good space shooter!

I dunno how I forgot KO Cruiser, it could possibly be the best boxing game on the VCS when finished.

[+TrekMD]

Hey, thanks for collecting all of these in one post. Makes it much easier to search for them!

[toymailman]

Great post!! Nice to have them all together like this. Now just need to playtest 'em. Can't wait for the big Winter Sale. Looking forward to lots.

[ginnidog]

I need to try some of these out now..nice way to spend my xmas

Like I said, a lot more than I thought I only stopped my post because I ran out of time

[sandmountainslim]

Amost forgot one of my most played of the new homebrew games.

 

ZOMBIE CHASE

http://www.atariage.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=132344

 

It is a 2600 adaption of the arcade legend Death Race which works with either joystick or driving controller. Programmed by Batari himself.

All it needs is a title screen.

Wp

[sandmountainslim]

Lot's of great new offerings out there.

About the only thing missing is Fonz

http://www.atariage.com/forums/index.php?s...st&p=854215

Too bad that so many programmers do not think themselves cool enough to attempt to bring Arcade's Golden Treasure to the small screen.

Wp

[Mayhem]

Lead, Dungeon and Juno First I'm especially looking forward to... though I do often just play ROMs on the CC2. If a game is THAT good, I don't mind buying it also. Ballblazer, if it gets finished, is really gonna be something...

[Godzilla]

I'm amazed someone is tackling my number 1 game of all time on the 2600, sentinel/sentry... I hope they can figure out how to squeeze 10,000 levels into the game :-) I'm up to the 4,000s on my amiga...

[+Nathan Strum]

Too bad that so many programmers do not think themselves cool enough to attempt to bring Arcade's Golden Treasure to the small screen.

Perhaps Fonz's coolness is too lofty of a goal for mere mortals to attain. Maybe only Fonzie himself would be cool enough to program the game.

 

But then, Fonzie would probably say, "Programming is for nerds", so he wouldn't program it in the first place. Hence the dilemma you're facing.

 

[lucifershalo]

Matchie is quite an interesting cube/puzzle game

it should be finished and put on cart....

Supercat, why no progress, got fed up?

[Lendorien]

If Cave In came out on a cart, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. That game is really neat.

[sandmountainslim]

You know it is really amazing that a console released when I was 7 years old has so many new games in production that you cannot even keep track of all of them!

That really is amazing to me.

VIVA ATARI!!
