New Additions to AtariAge Store

[Albert]

We're back from this year's Philly VGXPO where we released a new homebrew for the Atari 2600: Four-Play. Written by Zach Matley, Four-Play is a classic board game that has finally made its way to the Atari 2600. Four-Play has easy to learn rules, but don't expect to become a master as easily! Red and Blue take turns dropping marbles into an upright board. The first player to align four marbles horizontally, vertically, or diagonally wins! Pit your wits against the computer A.I. at four difficulty levels, or play against a friend in two-player mode.

 

 

 

Another new addition to the store is ABC To The VCS, the ultimate summary guide to the Atari 2600. Originally written in 1983 during the height of the 2600's popularity, the first edition of this book was finally released in 1996 thanks to an overwhelming demand from collectors. Now, nearly a decade later, the 2600 is still popular among collectors and programmers alike. Unreleased games from the eighties are constantly being discovered and released and new 'homebrew' games are still being written for this system that ceased production in 1991. In all there are 163 more titles in the 2nd edition than were in the 1st edition.

 

 

 

And finally, we've put together several bundles of Atari 2600 homebrew games, and for a limited time they are anywhere from 14% through 50% off! This is a great opportunity to pick up several homebrew games at a discounted price. Bundles include an Action Bundle, Arcade Bundle, Puzzle Game Bundle, Two Player Head-to-Head Bundle, and more! You can find all of them here.

Excellent work Zach - there are very few 2600 games that have reasonable AI. I am looking forward to getting this on a cart soon, and to seeing your future games.

Thanks Chris. I believe FP is the first board game with AI since 1980.
