I created the new levels many years ago with the Orson Editor and did send them to Homesoft. He was so nice to put the Orson main game + original levels + my new levels into one single (stand-alone) file. If you download the Homesoft file of Orson, it already contains my levels." A few weeks ago I asked him if I could have a fileversion that contains only my new / self-created levels and he did send me a copy - I used that file for Abbuc magazine as diskfiller...

shanti77 Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Slight correction: Quote Last Squadron by Janusz Chabowski @ shanti77 (code / gfx) / Michal Szpilowski @miker (music / sfx) (ABBUC 2020 Entry) | Physical Release: Jun 23, 2021 | NOTE: Completed in 2020 | Listing Updated Dec 8, 2021 The game released in 2021 is "The Last Squadron", it is not just a physical edition of the game from 2020 and it is also not ABBUC 2020 Entry.

+ZeroPage Homebrew Posted January 2, 2022 Author Share Posted January 2, 2022 LAST CALL for 2021! I believe that all the games that were physically released, completed or had an updated WIP in 2021 have been accounted for! The cut off for being on this list was 11:59:59PM PT Dec 31, 2021. Please let me know if there are missing or inaccurate listings or if there is additional credit needed for a game that isn't there. Thank you all for your help in making this list as accurate and up to date as possible and catching errors when they appeared! ? All the games from 2021 will now be processed for eligibility for the 4th Annual Atari Homebrew Awards and any new games this year will be added to the 2022 list! Happy New Year! - James 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrathchild Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Not a game per-se but a homebrew none the less is my Atari Pokédex. Also it was released as part of the New Year Disc 2022 although as I finished coding it in 2021 I think it should still count. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked through the New Year Disc 2022 and didn't notice any games included. This list I maintain is limited to only games and doesn't include things like graphics, demos, text information, databases, hardware, hacks, utilities, music, etc. I would say the Atari Pokedex would fall under a utility rather than a game itself, sorry about that. I know there are some other listings that include more than games such as https://a8.fandal.cz/ - James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Adam+ Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 @ZeroPage Homebrew James, "Adventure II XE" seems to be forgotten by you and others in 2021 Physical release took place in 2021 and there was no earlier possibility to get this game, so in my opinion it should be counted as a 2021 game. Also in 2020 you wrote: "Adventure II XE by @Cafeman (Note: previously released for 5200) (Pre-Order Physical Release)" - "previously released for 5200" may suggest that it was a straightforward conversion - but it's not exactly the case here, there were many changes, some of them listed here. That's why it took several years to create Atari 8-bit version. Joel Goodwin is the creator of the original Orson game, and should be mentioned in "Orson 2" credits. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Unbelievable but true.) Homesoft created a standalone DOS 2 ML-file of it. Packed with Exomizer the filelength is now approx. 4.5 KBytes.

+CharlieChaplin Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Maybe I should not do these kind of things, as they only confuse people at AtariAge ? The game itself is NOT new, it is a type-in listing from the german Computronic magazine, released in 1986. If I remember correctly this game was originally a hybrid of BAS+ML and did only run under DOS 3, so I did send it to Homesoft many years ago, who did a single/stand-alone ML-file of it that also runs under DOS 2.x. Think the unpacked file had a length of approx. 200 sectors, so I packed it with Superpacker (Exomizer) and now it only has a length of 36 sectors. And yes, I also wrote the short note in german and english, that you quoted above... (You know, I am creating the disk magazine and filling it with programs, both Orson 2 and Expedition were only small disk fillers.) This game has nothing to do with the other Expedition games that were also mentioned above. original Expedition listing The game on that DOS 3 ATR image uses the filenames Loader.BAS (3 blocks) and Program.OBJ (22 blocks). And here is the Homesoft version on disk 335. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
