Holiday Collections

[+Karl G]

I bought copies of Stella's Stocking and The Byte Before Christmas and played them over Christmas, and wrote reviews for each in the store. Both were very solid, and I enjoyed getting to try a bunch of new games all at once.

 

I was wondering if anyone was working on assembling (as it were) a new collection for 2018? It sounds fun to create and contribute a holiday-themed game for such a collection.

I bought

Defend your Castle

Give me my pancake

A I project

Atari Trak Ball (CX80)

Remote Control Joysticks

and some repros

[+SpiceWare]

and wrote reviews for each in the store.

 

 

Thank you!

While not a holiday-themed cart, it is wintry and with the recent cold snap here in Houston, I decided to break this cart out.

I'm working on The Gizzle Wap and the Terrible Blizzard of Firn which takes place during the Feast of Salubria. It's Christmas in a fantasy world.

@Atari Dogs, is this cart based on the movie?

[BigO]

Funny, when I saw that movie title a couple of weeks ago, my reaction that I posted in a status update was that it should be a 2600 game. Hopefully this means that someone is actually doing or has already done it:

BigO

"Santa Claus Conquers the Martians". Now that's a movie title worthy of being made into an Atari 2600 game if I ever heard one.

    It's a great title, except that it gives away the ending.

    Unless it's one of those titles like John Dies At the End...

    It's better when the Batman theme is dubbed over the fight sequence of the two aliens.

Any screenshots? Also, where can I buy this?

[Atari Dogs]

I made one for myself and one for a member here. Do a search for the game. The .bin is out there. My eprom programmer does not work anymore or I would make one for you. You may want to adjust one of santa's sleighs. One of the them does not align with the shot if I remember right.

How many Christmas-themed games came out back in the day? I'm sure someone out there made one. The concept is laughable today, but with games being so simple I'm sure you could make something out of the idea of Christmas.

Would you be willing to sell your copy...lol.

 

Just kidding, I already know the answer to that 😂
