+Karl G Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 What finished homebrews are out there that are 2K in size? It is immensely challenging to fit a complete game in 2K, so I'm curious to see what others have accomplished. The only example that comes to mind is SpiceWare's Collect tutorial.

Thomas Jentzsch Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 (edited) There are some mini game collections (2005 Minigame Multicart, SWOOPS!) which contain small games. Here is a short, incomplete 1K list: Automaton Cave 1K Crash'N'Dive Go Fish 1K Hunchy 1K Jet Man 1K Knight Jumper 1K Lead 1K Marble Jumper 1K Night Rider 1K Robot City 1K Rocket Command 1K Splatform 2600 Zirconium 1K 2K: Okie Dokie Edited January 11, 2019 by Thomas Jentzsch 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Karl G Posted January 11, 2019 Author Share Posted January 11, 2019 Wow, 1K games...I can barely draw the screen with 1K, much less fit game logic. Edit: of course, I suppose those are gigantic compared to RAM Pong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Gemintronic Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I made a game called Tornado Blast re-using the cut down kernel from Gate Racer. http://atariage.com/forums/topic/227982-tornado-blast-atari-2600-2k-homebrew/ Gate Racer by Atarius Maximus http://atariage.com/forums/topic/208953-my-2k-game-experiment-gate-racer/ I also took it as a personal challenge to re-create SpiceWares assembly tutorial 2k game in batari BASIC. Named it CollectbB. http://atariage.com/forums/topic/227708-collectbb-2k-demonstration-project/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s0c7 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 There used to be a minigame compo with 1k, 2k, and 4k categories that a lot of people from AA participated in. It was open to all platforms, so you were up against computers and other consoles. I participated a few times. Pirate (bB), but it was 4k. Star Hawk (2k bB game) http://atariage.com/forums/topic/112097-star-hawk/?p=1359450 Bifröst (It was 2k (asm) at the time, but is 4k now. It's more or less the exact same game, just has the speech sample now). http://atariage.com/forums/topic/143125-bifroest-2600/?p=1737232 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 My game called "Explosive Diarrhea" and another one someone else did called "Muncher" are both 2k. Also, my celery game which 10 copies of were sold is 2k too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
