Fix-It Felix Sr. (27-03-2013) (A2600 Game)

Before the Magical Hammer was passed on to Fix-It Felix Jr., his father had to keep things in order. Fix-It Felix Sr. by Cybearg is a parody remake of the game Fix-It Felix Jr. featured in the Disney film Wreck-It Ralph. Fix-It Felix Sr. is a simple, colorful, and fun arcade game.

Avoid ducks and falling bricks while fixing broken windows by hitting the fire trigger. Broken windows in the row Felix, Sr. is standing in are indicated by blank spaces in the indicator at the bottom-left of the screen. If the window Felix Sr. is in front of is broken, the indicator will be red. If it is green, the current window is in good condition. Lives are shown with the indicator at the bottom right of the screen. Keep an eye open for the pies that get set out on window sills–they give you an extra life! You gain points for each window repaired, eating pies, and completing a stage by fixing all broken windows.

Heartbreak (27-03-2013) (A2600 Game)

Heartbreak by Cybearg is an colorful original arcade-style game inspired by Breakout. The game was designed and prototyped for the 2013 Global Game Jam competition and won Best Game Mechanics and Player’s Choice awards in the local chapter.

Use right/left or clockwise/counter-clockwise on the Atari Driving Controller to rotate the blocks clockwise and counter-clockwise, respectively. Each game mode has 9 lives before heartbreak (loss), with 3 hits per each of the 3 heart sizes. All heart sizes are restored at the beginning of a level. Red and Blue game modes give points for each broken block and bonus points for the heart size (600 for large, 400 for medium, 200 for small). Yellow and Green games give points only for cumulative ball bounces, so try to keep that ball moving! On the title screen, choose left/right, select, or rotate clockwise/counter clockwise on the driving controller to select the desired game mode.

There’s a clock timer at the bottom and the object is simply to survive on the road as long as you can. Your final time is displayed when you crash.

M.M.S.B.C. II (A2600 Game)

Monster Management Security Bureau of Cincinnati 2 (M.M.S.B.C. II) is a brand new Atari 2600 homebrew game from theloon ,creator of Nitebear on Sleepystreet.

M.M.S.B.C. II is a two player cooperative game. The objective is to rack up as many points as possible – which also means both players surviving as long as possible. RESET will reset game. SELECT will toggle between 3 difficulty levels: NORMAL, HARD and MANIAC. Each players FIRE button will launch a laser. Once a salvo has been launched no additional lasers can be fired from your ship. Lasers will damage and pass through enemies. Each player has a shield bar at the bottom left (player 1) and right (player 2) side of the screen. If too much damage is taken from collisions with enemies or fire then the player will be forced to land. Landing reduces the cities morale (topmost status bar). If morale drops to zero the game is over. At certain periods during the game a boss will appear shooting fireballs. Once the boss is defeated gameplay will resume at a higher difficulty level.

Thanks to theloon himself for the news!
