Game Panic LCD (23-06-2014) (A2600 Game)

Although we have seen many homebrew games around the net the past years Game Panic LCD seems to be different. In how far different you may ask? Well it has a LCD game / Game & Watch game feeling, but is for the Atari VCS. Responsible for this piece of work is theloon along with John Hancock. The game is explained quite easy: Dash to the other side of the screen for points!

Thanks to theloon himself for the news via e-mail!

Touchdown Challenge v2 (A2600 Game)

Atarius Maximus makes Atari VCS users happy once again with his new game Touchdown Challenge. The object is to run past the defenders and score a touchdown. The pattern changes when you score. Most of the players run slowly down the field, but there is one who will relentlessly chase you. If you get tackled, the score resets. It needs a lot of polish but is very playable and kind of fun.
