justclaws Posted February 1, 2021 Author Share Posted February 1, 2021 Now, new game, Nib! I have been told by "Games Just Wanna Be Fun" another game in on the way. Nib is an indie game which certainly looks like no other! Hand-drawn graphics. I don't think there's a home-page, but this is the author's channel on YouTube, and he's on all the Indie developer sites. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-cVM5sNE2EiDBl1uddT_ZA 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justclaws Posted February 1, 2021 Author Share Posted February 1, 2021 NOW RELEASED! Ato is also coming soon, from Tiny Warrior Games. No official release date yet. It's on Steam, but only for Windows, and in a new version for the Linux AtariOS. "A world of Beauty and Mystery, Emotive Animations, Atmospheric Environments, Visually Driven Story, Metroidvania Exploration and Memorable Sword Duels." This is from the same developer as "Frog Hop"; this game already has a fan base. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justclaws Posted February 11, 2021 Author Share Posted February 11, 2021 No official announcement for this... I just read (via Facebook) about another game coming for the VCS. No ETA yet. (Honestly I'm not a fan of the "art style", but I can see it could be a lot of fun.) "Muffed is a fast-paced top-down twin stick shooter for 1-16 players! Enter the Co-Op Campaign as a test subject to take down Dr Wolfe and anyone else in your way, or fight your friends in PvP games. Over 50 weapons, giant headphones that give you slaying power, and... is that a drone?"

Since that game was so popular recently, doesn't surprise me to see other take "inspiration" from it :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justclaws Posted February 14, 2021 Author Share Posted February 14, 2021 Plutonium Pirates (update) Pixel Games (Sigi, and Sir Lovelot) released a new video for their WIP game "Plutonium Pirates". As with other games, it will also be on Steam, but only for Windows there. Plutonium Pirates on Steam (steampowered.com) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justclaws Posted April 10, 2021 Author Share Posted April 10, 2021 The developers, who also released Boulder Dash for the VCS, have confirmed that this game will also come to the VCS when it's complete, but it's still under development at the moment. Dynablaster, the legendary Bomber is back. The developer web-site is here.

justclaws Posted April 10, 2021 Author Share Posted April 10, 2021 The developer of this game intended it specifically to be for the VCS, but indeed it's also release on Steam at this point. It is pending approval for release on VCS. Apolune2 needs to be played, IMHO, to understand the couch-coop element too. The developer web-page is here. http://lostastronaut.com/apolune2/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justclaws Posted June 3, 2021 Author Share Posted June 3, 2021 There is a new video-trailer for Atari Games released for June 2021 Most games are released, but new footage of "Spirit of the Samura" is included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I LOVED Fort Apocalypse on my 1200XL. It's funny, a lot of people understand that Desert Strike was influenced by Choplifter and Zaxxon, but they don't know how much I wanted Fort Apocalypse in there, too! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColecoGamer Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 The Atari VCS is looking more attractive as time goes by. Plus, Atari’s promise to focus more on game development is a good sign that VCS owners will have plenty of first-party games to play too. The Recharged series is one good example of this happening. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. It is weird to think I have had mine close to a year now. (Well close to 11 months). It definitely took some time for it to pick up steam... though still needs to add Steam. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am hopeful the next 3 months we can see some new games. I want the Flashback Friday releases to be from different consoles that Atari released too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should make a new 5200 controller with USB adapter. I would buy one. Then they could release 5200 games. Also if they do a Star Raiders: Recharged, they need that controller's support! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SabertoothRetro Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 I'm not sure how much further Atari can go with Flashback Friday. They've already released most of their non-7800 IP on Vault and Vault 2. Very little is left to pull from without licensing. I suppose they could release the A8 versions of this stuff. Their 2021 IP list is viewable from here: https://www.atari.com/atari-games/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their 2021 IP list is viewable from here: https://www.atari.com/atari-games/ Curious about something, and I'm sure it's come up 'somewhere'. But there is for sure a difference between currently owned IP, and Published history. Atari was a games publisher for a LONG time, even outside of the stuff they had developed. Like I think most of the things on the Jaguar likely fall under Published vs Developed. So the real question is, do they still have rights to republish the old things. I suppose it'd be in the contract of 'you're allowed to publish title X for platform Y', which means any of the Jaguar stuff (for example) would not be releasable on the VCS. Same would go for those on the Atari 8bit computers. I think it'd be awesome if they released Atari Writer80 on the VCS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classics like Moon Patrol, Dig Dug, Q Bert, Joust, etc. have never made an appearance to my knowledge.I seem to recall Atari inking a deal with Activision to get those titles on the Flashback. Probably not worth their $$$ to bring licensed titles to the VCS. I'm sure someone has a copy of an licensing deal from BITD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justclaws Posted November 18, 2021 Author Share Posted November 18, 2021 This article lists some games as coming releases (but they're already almost all out right now). I'd add anything new. https://bleedingcool.com/games/atari-vcs-launches-over-a-dozen-new-games-for-the-platform/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColecoGamer Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Now that 2022 is here, are there any updates on what new games we can expect for the VCS in Jan/Feb? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In addition to the list above, there are at least 2-3 more rumored: BPM Boy (details in other threads); a new game from Janni, who made Guntech/Utopos; and a racing game called Rally Racers, which I am near positive is the racing game ported from Xbox described above. To be even modestly viable as a console/mini PC I suspect Atari needs to release 3-5 games a month, so they better hop to it. Games and playability are what people gravitate to, so they have work to do. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mockduck Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 I think short term we will see some new Flashback Fridays of either 7800 or maybe Atari computer games along with two confirmed games on the horizon: Donut Dodo and Breakout: Recharged. No exact release date for either but both likely in January/February. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+swlovinist Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 I would love to see the VCS share some release date windows of upcoming games. They are in desperate need of it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kris1977 Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Food Fight Breakout Recharged Donut Dodo Tempest 4000 Can't wait for these. I still haven't played tempest 4000. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
