+Atarius Maximus Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Marble Craze never grew on me. I even downgraded it after I wrote that review (although the AA store doesn't support 1/2 point increments). I enjoy reading your reviews, Nathan, and have gone back to this post more than once: http://www.atariage....y-homebreviews/. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandmountainslim Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 As the AUTHOR of Ature (that's me) I'd like to distantiate myself from Yuppicide. The game is free and open source, and anyone can play it with an emulator, or can make a ROM out of it. I'm just as dismayed as you that hed didn' t come trough with the carts. I think he over-sold himself and ran for the hills when it bleww up in his face. But, tha game is still there for anyone to enjoy. I hope you are willing to look past this incident, because I think the game is very enjoyable in itself, and most people who play it think so too. As a person who plays emulators now more than my original hardware I want to thank you. While at work I generally play Atari and NES on my Android phone and Ature is one of the modern games in my regular rotation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariBrian Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 I think its time that another toyshop trouble 2 or similiar type game is made with it being so popular and awesome . :grin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I do it for, to bring some fun in other people's lives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
float.bridges Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Does anyone know when we should expect a 2600 cart of Panky the Panda? I'm tired of playing on my phone and would really like a copy, personally. xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny_boy Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Gingerbread Man is a nice classic Jumpman-esque single screen platformer. I quite like it. Makes good use of the limitations of the single-button Atari joystick. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Cafeman Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 I enjoy reading your reviews, Nathan, and have gone back to this post more than once: http://www.atariage....y-homebreviews/. I never noticed Nathan's review or the re-scoring. I'll be here a while reading it all. That's because I don't frequent the 2600 section, I assume.

BassGuitari Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Not one mention of Swoops!? C'mon, guys! It could probably be disqualified, though, since its three games are, I believe, adaptations of old/obscure/generic games (correct me if I'm wrong!). Splatform 2600, for instance, bears a resemblance to games like Springer on the TRS-80...only better-looking! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LidLikesIntellivision Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Just a little off topic here but today I was talking about Christmas Carol (an awesome original Intellivision homebrew) and I asked if there was a classic game original homebrew that was ported to another classic system. So I think it's a good place to ask it, especially because we have some programmers with skill in more than one platform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Algus Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Just spotting this topic, how intriguing. I have wanted to buy Dungeon for some time, but I was waiting for melody boards to be available again. I don't think it is the best but A-VCS-Tec Challenge blows my mind on so many levels. And I hope cybearg gets some of his stuff in the store because I've been playing his stuff on my Harmony and he makes some superfun games.

enthusi Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Heya, reading this thread and some other things, I ordered Toyshop Trouble and Oystron some time ago. After a couple of aeons (thanks to german customs), they arrived this week. Weee, both are pretty stunning. Seeing how old ToyshopTrouble already is, I feel nostalgic for a homebrew, hehe. Too bad its NTSC only(is it?) though the colors are still pretty playable on PAL if you dont mind a magenta dinosaur (my 2 year old daughter sure didnt). A game free of violence without beeing totally lame or chess. Hats off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must have ordered the NTSC version instead of the PAL60 version then. http://atariage.com/store/index.php?l=product_detail&p=873 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Algus Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Oh man. I ordered Toyshop Trouble because of this thread too. Is than an Imperial Walker? LOL! This game is awesome! I noticed that AA has done several Christmas themed homebrews. Pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gorgofdoom Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 I've enjoyed Space Treat Deluxe and Skeleton + quite a bit. Simple games, quick to understand and each game doesn't last that long. Skeleton + makes me unnerved as it ramps up, which is a good thing. There was a Jack & the Beanstalk homebrew - I think it was in batari basic. I always enjoyed that while in-progress, and I think it was greatly improved by the time it was done. You might have to just get the ROM if available because I'm not sure it got released. And just in case you want a "port" homebrew - Ladybug is AWESOME. I spent many hours playing it. Hi, I programmed Jack and the Beanstalk. It was released in very limited quantities at a retro gaming show (I don't remember which one, nor was I present.) Thanks for mentioning my game. I think the ROM is available somewhere here, search for Jack in the homebrew forum. ...I actually happen to have a copy of this. Does anyone happen to know the going rate for it?

ClassicGMR Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Wow... I usually hate to resurrect old threads but I have to say this thread has shown me quite a few excellent homebrew games I never knew existed for some reason! Thank you all for sharing! I now have some new games to play this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enthusi Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 (edited) I wonder if someone is up to the task to list all 'memorable' homebrews along with the author, size, year, screenshot Oh and with a BatariBasic flag out of interesst. And yes, not me Edited May 2, 2014 by enthusi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
