Screaming Wings 2020 is an interesting creation. At its core it is mainly a graphical improvement. What it represents is just how cool computer gaming can be. Sure, there have been graphical improvements for console games. Sadly, most of those require a specific emulator to run. Worst case scenario they run on original hardware but […]

Rol’An’Go is a New Turn Based Strategy Title for Sega Genesis
September 21st, 2015 Carl Williams New Sega Genesis games are still coming out, not as often as the Atari 2600 receives them but still better than nothing. One new titles that I just found out about is Rol’An’Go by Atari Age forum member, Vetea. What is unique about Rol’An’Go is that it is a turn based strategy game, similar to […]

Near Arcade Perfect Port of Galaxian Released for Atari 2600
September 12th, 2015 Carl Williams Homebrew developers are a unique lot, they do things that the professionals claim is impossible. Homebrewers also do it without official development kits, most of the time, and are at a severe disadvantage compared to the professionals as far as standard education on how the hardware works. That lack of education just may be what […]

New Version of Mario Bros Coming to Atari 2600, Already Obliterates Official Version
September 7th, 2015 Carl Williams Man, the guys over on the Atari Age forums sure do keep themselves busy with creating new and improved versions of classic games. Specifically classics on the Atari 2600 that didn’t exactly receive a stellar port in the first place. Previously I looked at another improved port in the form of Pac-Man 8K Edition, also […]

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 […]

Atari 2600 Q*Bert Improved to be More like Arcade Version
August 30th, 2015 Carl Williams The Atari 2600 sure did try to be the arcade in your home, and for a while it was. The problem is, as time went on things improved in the arcade such as the hardware and challenge provided to the gamer. Gamers wanted more challenge, more colors, more sounds and the poor Atari 2600 just […]

Street Fight World to Bring Street Fighter II and Alpha to Atari 2600
August 29th, 2015 Carl Williams Street Fighter II was the one game that sealed the success of the Super Nintendo in the early 90’s. Sega simply had nothing to compete with it other than pitiful attempts that are best not mentioned in the same breath. Capcom knew they had a gold mine on their hands based on the success of […]

Alex Kidd is coming to the TI-99/4A Computer Thanks to Homebrew Developer
August 29th, 2015 Carl Williams The classic, and completely forgotten by Sega, game Alex Kidd is being ported to the Texas Instruments 99/4A computer. This is not an official port but one by a homebrew developer who just happens to be a huge Alex Kidd fanatic. Some things were sacrificed for this port, which is to be expected as the […]

August 25th, 2015 Carl Williams Not too long ago we mentioned that there were over 50 new Atari Jaguar titles coming in the next year or so. Keeping with that comment I am bringing news about another Atari ST game coming to the Atari Jaguar, Starquake. Atari Jaguar gamers will soon be able to take control of their own Bio-Logically […]

New Colecovision Homebrew Title, Cave, Brings 3D Rogue-like Adventure to Dead Console
August 24th, 2015 Carl Williams The Colecovision was a platform that was one of the unfortunate fatalities that occurred due to the 1983/1984 video game crash. The console, up to this point and for a while afterwards, was doing quite well but things dropped off considerably as we neared 1985- to the point that Coleco, the parent company of the […]
