This is a program that lets you play with sounds and sound effects using loops. It can simply be used as a toy or you can use it to think up possible new sound effects for your games.

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:

With each new version, the code gets more convoluted and harder to follow. But there are two things that aren’t wrong with that: #1 – I understand it, and #2 – it compiles. If you find any bugs in this latest version, especially at the screen with the horizontally moving platform, please tell me.

jbs30000 updated his recently released Tron game for Atari 2600.

Release notes:

I’m through working on this game. It’s better now, but still has a bug or two that I no longer have the patience to try and fix.

Improvements from what I posted a couple of days ago:
-Enemy light cycles now include a light cycle sprite, instead of just showing the light wall.
-Timer in grid spider game cut to make it harder to play. Score increases when you kill a spider.
-You usually can make it to level 2 after clearing all 4 games in level 1, and even usually get to level 3.

Bugs:
-The light cycle game can mess with your life counter when you win or lose.
-It happens rarely, but in the tank game and grid spiders game, the missile you fire might just pass through an enemy.

Anyway, that’s about it. The main menu in each level changes, just like in the arcade game, so that if you go up for example, on the first level you’ll get the tank game, but the second level will get you a different game if you go up. Also, just like in the arcade game, when you complete a game, you can’t play it again until you advance a level.

And for the heck of it. When the game first starts: 1C PP = 1 Coin Per Player; C 0 = Coins 0

I’ll post the source code, but any of you who haven’t looked at any of my code before will run for the hills when you see it . It’s not the neatest and this is a pretty big program. I started making notes but decided, what’s the point? I’ll post everything anyway and if somebody actually wants to make an improvement or two but has no idea what the heck I was thinking, or is just confused by my sloppy programming , go ahead and ask, and I shall answer.

Edited to add – While in the main menu, if you press the Start button it will add more lives. You can have a maximum of 6 I believe.

Release notes from jbs30000:

I’m pretty much done with my Tron game.

There’s one glitch left, and the scoring system, well, I gave up on that a while ago.

For those who don’t know, about a year ago I started working on an Atari version of the Tron arcade game. My bigest problem was the light cycle game.

What I have now works, but is a little tricky in that sometimes you can go right up against a wall without crashing, and other times you can’t.

Anyway, the glitch is that after completing all 4 games, you’re supposed to advance a level (there’s 3 levels all together).

After completing all 4 games on the first level, one of the games in the second level caused the game to completely start over. So, I’m posting 3 games, one for each level.

atari2600 land picked up one of his older releases and sort of improved it.

Release notes:

Basically the same program, only I fit it in 4k, well, sort of. The computer player is kind of stupid. I’d like someone to go through the code and redo it so I have more room to make the computer AI smarter.

x=player 1 ; o=player 2/computer
game 1 = 2 players (x goes first)
game 2 = 1 player (computer AI, computer goes first)
game 3 = 1 player (computer AI, you go first)
to switch between the games, press the select switch.
to start a game, press the reset switch.

during a game, to go to the menu, press the select switch.
It’s totally in black and white (there’s no color.)

Simon Quernhorst has released a 4k intro/demo for the Atari VCS at Breakpoint 2008. It’s really worth a check!

The point of the game is to collect all the water that has been stolen from your planet by the Turgots, and bring it back home.
