Gizzle Wap 2 is a new Atari VCS game currently in development by Mountain King. If you are into sailing and exploring islands arcade style, this game might be something for you. It’s in early stages but don’t forget to give the developer feedback. Feedback usually results in motivation and results into more updates and a better game.

Release notes:

1. Started using the new version of Stella. Found and eliminated some Jitter I didn’t notice on the map view.
2. The Floaty Fin moves faster now and is able to out run the Culex a little easier.
3. Your cursor remains pink.
4. Implemented the Gizzle Wap’s sidekick, Camy with a few new tricks. Camy follows you the same way as in The Strange Red Tree. Press and hold the fire button to use Camy as a shield, He won’t stay there indefinitely. He will eventually fly away. Press and hold the fire button and press up to jump to make Camy fly vertically. He flies more vertically than he did in the previous game. He zig zags now. Jump/press the button and then pull down to do the jump drop. You can make Camy hover for a few seconds if you press up to jump first and then hold the button down. He won’t hover forever and will eventually fly off.

ORB is an Atari VCS game by winkdot. The planet Orb can be a dangerous place full of mystery. The Alliance has lost many ships while trying to explore the planet. Too many to count. It will be your mission to rescue downed pilots and return them to the mothership.

Release notes by winkdot:

A ton of code shuffling in this one. The game no longer exceeds scan lines unless you do a Select/Reset on it. I felt this is acceptable. Some graphic changes, some enemy logic changes, additional animation. The ground WILL now harm your ship so try and avoid it. As always, let me know if you see problems.

atari2600land picks up a new topic for a new Atari VCS game. Just in case you’ve ever had a dream to play Super Mario 64, this might get reality now with Super Mario 64 2600. Certainly in a slight modified version to match the capabilities of the target platform. Kindly note that this game is heavily in development.

Changes:

Just a quick update. Version 25 has a little tune play once you grab the star. I also discovered that you can move after grabbing the star. You can still move, but the wall has been removed from the level 1 painting room in the castle once the game takes you back there.

Well, I worked on this again while hearing the loud booms of fireworks. You must pick up the Bob-Omb, which is very much now active, and throw it to get the star. Not pressing fire and touching the Bob-Omb transports you to the beginning of the level. But you still can’t go into any of the doors except the first one.
