Random Terrain updated his Maze game Ruins.
Release notes:
Although the code is embarrassing to look at, I updated it so it will now work with the latest version of batari Basic. The code is unnecessarily bloated and hard to understand, so I’ll try to fix it up one of these days, but until then, at least the .bas file will run now.

Do you remember the two farting guys “Terrance & Phillip” from South Park? Now those two guys have their very own computergame on the Atari 2600 platform.
Release notes from atari2600land:
Changed level 5’s background color to gray. With it red, it was kind of hard to tell where Terrance’s shirt was.

Release notes from atari2600land:
Here’s a more polished version. In level 3, the health bar turns white, same as the background color. Since I can’t control the color of the health bar, I changed the background color to a semi-dark blue. I wish it was white, and I wish level 5 had a black background, but the health bar’s color is black, so I made it red. So, what changes should I make now, if any? I’m all done level designing, unless you think the game is too short as it stands right now.
By the way, I solved the hair problem by making Phillip’s hair shorter.

atari2600land released a new game for the Atari 2600. It’s a first beginning and will for sure improve over time.
Release notes:
Alien Greed 3 is done, GoSub 2 is done, Asses of Fire is almost done, so i thought i’d start another game. it’s along the lines of the classic 2600 game Star Ship, but with much better controls. It started out being a Duke Nukem parody, where Duke’s neerdowell brother Clem gets a starring role in “Clem Nukem”, but scrapped that idea since Duke is getting a new game, so I’m naming this game “Star Fleet Omega”, where you shoot at spaceships (which haven’t been implemented yet.) Go on, take a shot.
You are looking through the windsheild of one of the earth’s best spaceships. You have infinite missiles thanks to the latest weapon regenerator technology. You are the last hope against the earth’s greatest threat. You are a part of Star Fleet Omega.
I don’t know. Sounds kinda dorky, huh? I’m not that great about writing serious storylines.

Release notes from atari2600land:
Added 3 more screens. You start at them. All the level designing should be done by the end of this week. Then, it’s bug hunting time.

Phillip has updated his game “Last Mobile Space Battalion”. It’s a mix of Space Invaders and Yar’s Revenge.
Release notes:
Due to time constraints and major computer problems, I have not yet started on my second game, wallball.
I’ve done some more work on my first game, mainly so I can refamiliarize myself with Batari Basic again.
This version of LMSB includes shields and the UFO firing at its discretion. Sound effects were overhauled.
There’s also a title screen 🙂
I’m hoping to get started on wallball in the next couple of days. Tons of potentional, but it won’t be an easy project.

Release notes from atari2600land:
Three new screens. Since they are in the middle of level 4, I made the game start at the first new screen. When level 4 is done, then I will begin work on level 5 (the pigs’ “fartress”), and once that is over, the game will be for the most part complete.

Release notes from atari2600land:
New version.
+Put the ending in. To see it, at the title screen, have the right difficulty switch be A.
+Put two new screens in level 4.
+if the right difficulty switch is B, you will start at level 4.
Once level 4 is finished, it will justify the cart having 32k (the game itself will be around 17k.)
