I have been making a new game for the Atari 2600 called "4-Mula." Here is its backstory:

Alien Professor McScooper was hard at work creating the successor to 3-Up called 4-Up. This was, of course, the days before 7-Up. The humans wanted to try 4-Up for themselves. They had heard it was 1,000 times better than Coke or Pepsi and wanted it so badly they sent a guy into space. Bob Lbjsdfk, donning his spacesuit, snuck into McScooper's lab and got the bottle of 4-Up. The only trouble is he doesn't know how to get OUT.

So now you have to guide Bob out of the lab. But it's a huge lab. It has several parts to it, each part bigger than the last. Not only that, the other aliens have come to see if they could get a taste of 4-Up. And they'll stop at nothing to get it. And since you have the 4-Up, you've become the target!

What I have so far game programming wise is in the batari Basic section.
