Skjutpung (A2600 Game)

Skjutpung by tjoppen is a mix of Pong and a shooter. While you have to take care of the bouncing ball you, or you opponent, can also shoot bullets. It’s not the most fancy idea in history of video gaming, but here is another game for our beloved Atari VCS. This game was another production entered in the competition pool at Revision 2012. It ranked 6th in the game development competition.

Self Portrait (A2600 Techdemo)

Self Portrait by tjoppen is a procedural graphics entry released at Revision 2012. It was actually disqualified as the organizers probably did not get the point behind it. The motivation was that it’s a converted picture, not actually a drawn one.

Plotcube (A2600 misc)

Tjoppen, who has made several Atari 2600 already, comes up with a small 3D experiment. The effect is table driven, 95 frames and sadly uses the entire 4k ROM, leaving no room for anything else.

Seaweed Assault (26-10-2011) (A2600 Game)

Seaweed Assault is an Atari VCS game by Random Terrain.

Your name is Captain Nalad Modnar and you are part of an advanced underwater civilization. It’s your duty to patrol your section of the ocean in a semi-organic submarine called the Manatee. Highly aggressive seaweed surrounds you and it keeps trying to replicate faster than you can shoot. Use your torpedoes to blast any bits of seaweed that appear before they clog up your sector and spread to others, making it nearly impossible for anyone to travel. Don’t let the seaweed strangle your civilization to extinction.
