Draconian (13-05-2014) (A2600 Game)

SpiceWare is on the way to teach you how to destroy space stations in their new game Draconian. Use the radar, located at the bottom of the screen between the score and lives remaining, to find the stations in relation to yourself. Destroy the stations by taking out all six pods.

This game is still “work in progress”.

Snappy (15-01-2012) (A2600 Game)

The goal in Snappy by Sebastian Mihai is to get as many men across Snappy’s pit as possible. Each game starts with ten men, and each of them gets parachuted at a random spot, so you have to time your jumps well. Only one button is used – fire. It will start a new game when on the menu screen, and it will cause a man to start running, trying to make it across the pit.

Flappy v6 (A2600 Game)

Seriously… is there any reason the Atari VCS should be not having a Flappy Bird style game? Oh wait… thanks to iesposta there is actually a game very similar to it named Flappy.

Point Zero (23-01-2014) (A2600 Game)

There is not only a Michael Knight in TV, but also in Atari VCS development scene. If you are in the mood for a little shooter you may try Point Zero. The ultimate goal of this game is to get a score of zero!

Use the joystick to move around and pressing fire when moving increases your speed. Press fire while still to shoot your missiles and blow up bad guys. Not everything is a bad guy there are also power ups to obtain. Every thousand points you remove from the score a boss like ship will appear… Don’t get hit by its missiles!

Hunger Shark v0.2.4 (A2600 Game)

In Anthony Luna‘s game Hunger Shark you navigate a hungry shark desperately in the search for food! But be aware… you are not the king of the sea, you do have enemies as well.

Release notes:

-Removed Vertical and diagonal drift
–This has the added benefit of freeing a ton of space, I kept horizontal drift (that never completely stops) because of many shark species tendencies to never stop swimming. Vertical and diagonal drift didn’t add much to the game. Along with a small speed boost to the shark the movement feels more ‘unique’.
-Treasure Spawns now last twice as long.
-As a result of a ton of removed code saved for movement, the game is, as far as I’m aware, 100% stable in scan line count.
