Need a story for your game?

[Chadivision]

I love Atari, and I like to write fiction, so I got to thinking...I would love to write a story for an Atari 2600 game. Is anyone programming a homebrew that could use a good story?

 

If somebody else could do the art, we could create a comic book or an illustrated short story that could be packaged with the game. Or you could post the story on the web with a link to your game in the Atari Age store.

 

I'm pretty flexible as far as genere and I don't want any of the royalties from the game...just credit for writing the story, and I would still reserve the right to republish the story later if the opportunity arrises.

 

By the way, don't judge my writing talent by the story that I put in the Backfire manual. That was intended to be kind of cheesy (like all of the tacked-on stories in the original Atari 2600 game manuals).

Well, on what basis should we judge your writing talent?

 

Have any examples we can read?

I'm sorry. I had the link in my signature, but I should have also included it in the post itself.

Thanks, and no problem - I have signatures turned off anyway, so I would probably have never seen it.
