Some Kind Of Bombjack v0.1 (A2600 Game)

Michael is working on a “some kind of bombjack” remake for A2600.

Release notes:

You can already jump around and collect bombs, but no enemies and a couple of other glitches. I am currently working on the platform part of the game, so you cannot jump from a platform, nor do they hinder you. The walls dont work as well yet. Should be done around the next days though.

StarHawk (27-08-2007) (A2600 Game)

s0c7 has updated his game StarHawk.

Author notes:

So my tweak has turned into a rewrite. The good news is I’ve been able to add in several more things – levels, a better way to keep track of how many misses you have remaining, etc. Right now I’m fighting with it over the last 20 bytes or so. Hopefully I’ll have a final version in a day or two.

GoSub 2 (22-08-2007) (A2600 Game)

atari2600land has kept on developing the second part of GoSub and released another early preview.

Release notes:

I added being able to shoot the enemies. But what I need help with now is the mini-game. I’m thinking Combat for this time, and I need your people’s opinion on one thing: When the sub hits the wall in the minigame, should it A.) keep ramming the wall; or B.) bounce off and go in the opposite direction? version 18b has the first option and version 18c has the second one. Many thanks to Mike Rideout for helping me with this part. To get to the mini-game, at the title screen, press the select switch until the first digit gets to 2, then press the reset switch.

GoSub2 (17-08-2006) (A2600 Game)

atari2600land is probably going to make a sequel of his game GoSub. He already started but some feedback to him can’t hurt if you loved the first part and want to see another one.

Make the frogs cross the street without getting squished by cars. Like Freeway, but with left and right movement, too.
