Conjoined Atari 2600 Game Kickstarting Now
June 6th, 2016 Carl Williams Okay, I will be honest here. When first contacted about covering the upcoming Kickstarter for a new Atari 2600 game, I was apprehensive that it would succeed. I mean, in this day and age? I am used to people making illegal ports of games to the Atari 2600- stuff you cannot easily take to crowdfunding […]

The Five Dumbest Mistakes I’ve Made As a Gamer
March 16th, 2016 Michael Crisman Everybody makes mistakes. We’re human, it’s OK to admit our flaws and imperfections. Most of them, hopefully, are momentary lapses of judgement: small errors easily rectifiable without too much blood loss. Then there are the times you do something so moronic it makes you question your beliefs about how intelligent, sane, and sexy you really are. […]

Bandit Gaming- Castlevania Coming to Atari 2600
March 12th, 2016 Carl Williams Konami never brought Castlevania to the Atari 2600. That is not stopping fans though. While this is a work in progress, an early one at that, it is impressive already. This is definitely shaping up to be an interesting homebrew release, from the music to the graphics as they stand. This is a must see.

UPP! Homebrew Released for Atari 2600
January 11th, 2016 Carl Williams To say that the Atari 2600 is dead is only half right. If you are talking about going to Walmart and buying games then yes, it is dead. If you are a little more open minded and know where to look (around here at RGM is a good start) then you can find a plethora […]

Bandit Gaming: Mortal Kombat for the Atari 2600 Work in Progress
January 6th, 2016 Carl Williams In the early 1990’s we saw the release of Street Fighter II a title that changed arcades till their last days. Midway couldn’t stand idly by so they released a one on one fighting game that took things a few steps farther. While Street Fighter II was a cartoon style game like most arcade games […]

Revenge of the License: 2600 Trilogy of Terror!
October 18th, 2015 Michael Crisman Whassup all my retro gamer bro-dawgs? It’s October, in case you hadn’t noticed, and round these parts, October mandates that gamers start rounding up the carts and discs with a decidedly creepier theme to them. We at Retro Gaming Magazine are happy to admit we’re not immune to this infectious desire to splatter some blocky […]

Pac-Man on Atari 2600 Receives Much Improved Version by Homebrew Developer
September 7th, 2015 Carl Williams The original Pac-Man for the Atari 2600 was a crappy game, no doubt about it. Atari probably knew very well that they shouldn’t have released it like it was but they did anyhow. Call it greed, call it stupidity, call it whatever you want. The point is, it was a crap game. Leave it to […]

July 25th, 2015 Carl Williams Everyone that is reading this knows that Mortal Kombat never saw release on the Atari 2600. If you didn’t, now you do. That has not stopped indie developer and Atari Age forum member, Facemeat, from creating an action adventure title set in the Mortal Kombat world for the classic Atari console. Mortal Kombat Netherrealm Journey […]

Atari Memory Match Now Available, a Card Game for Retrogaming Fans
March 18th, 2015 Carl Williams Okay, everyone reading this has at one time or another played a variation of the classic game, Memory. Either via official means or through variations that used just about anything that could be paired up. One of the most popular variations of Memory that I know of uses playing cards. Thanks to an Atari Age […]
