Passthrough 2600 v1.02 (A2600 Game)

The main goal of the game is to get through 10 levels before your timer runs down to zero. To climb through the levels, you need to hit the fire button when the ship is in the black space. If the ship hits the playfield, you will be sent down a few lines and 25000 points will be taken from the timer. If you get to the top of the level, you will receive 200000 points and ascend to the next level. Make it through all 10 levels and you escape, getting a score that you can brag to your friends about. Screw up, and you get zero… and cooked!

Pig v0.90 (A2600 Game)

Pig is a simple game with the goal being the first player to reach 100 points. It’s a game of luck and some strategy.

Release notes:

Updated version with these changes…

I’ve changed the way dice rolls are determined to give a better distribution
Fixed an issue where the game would sometimes use more than 262 scan lines.

If anyone could try this on an actual NTSC 2600 I’d really appreciate it.

Trashmania (08-08-2010) (A2600 Game)

The local garbage plant has been shutdown after a series of unintentionally hilarious lawsuits (to sum it up, the workers were eating the garbage to help cut down there trash). So, you go out to take care of it yourself. You. Are. TRASHMAN!!!

Blocked In v2.06v2 (A2600 Game)

A mad scientist decided he wanted a pet and bought a fish. Being that he’s a mad scientist, he can’t just have any normal tank, though. He built a special one where the coral attacks you, the walls close in to crush you, and the water slowly drains out! Beware, the mad scientist will only revive you three times before he gets bored and leaves you dead for good!

You guide the fish with the joystick and navigate through the coral gaps. If you hit the coral while in the left half of the screen the left side of the tank closes in on you. If you hit the coral while in the right half of the screen the right side closes in on you.
