DeathFlag (A2600 Game)

Joseph Simoneau, Joshua Strully and David Sponaas intention was to create a 2-person game based loosely on capture the flag with some new twists. Firstly, players will be able to shoot each other to immobilize them for some period of time. Secondly, a large portion of the playfield will have players concealed, so that each player will not be able to see the other player’s motions while in this area. Scoring will be based on returning a flag from an opposing base to your own. There will be no limit to the number of rounds played, and score will be kept as long as physically possible on the Atari 2600 system. Maps will cycle through a predetermined set of playfields for each round.

Copter Commander (A2600 Game)

The goal of the game is to pilot a helicopter through a treacherous cave by controlling its height with the spacebar. The further into the cave you progress, the harder it gets to stay alive as the cave size and helicopter velocity change. As in all good games there is no winning condition, just survive as long as you can.

Chillin Out (A2600 Game)

Tatum Clanton, Robert Norman and Ari Velazquez made a game called Chillin’ Out, where the user is Poncho the penguin, who must successfully traverse the playfield. Poncho also must watch out for the murderous Serge the sea lion, who will eat him at nearest chance. We did not include solutions to the game because we thought it would ruin the fun and the levels are fairly simple so it should not be too difficult.

Cave Race (A2600 Game)

The object is to collect the fire, found at the end of the maze, in as little time as possible. The timer on the bottom records your progress, and will reset to zero when you make contact with any of the walls – something you are not allowed to do. The trick is patience and coordination, you are doing well if you can reach the end in under half a minute.

Catch The Ball (A2600 Game)

Our game will be a 2-player game in which the players are puppies, and the objective of the game is to throw and catch a Frisbee at each other. The game ends after a set time or if one of the players fails to catch the Frisbee and the player who did not drop the Frisbee is declared the winner. The puppies will be able to move freely on the horizontal axis, but cannot go beyond the invisible vertical line drawn in the middle of the screen. There will also be treats falling from the sky which the puppies can catch for extra points.
