It is interesting to me how much companies will go out of their way to protect an intellectual property in certain areas. Take Sharknado for example. AtariAge forum member, “neotokeo2001” was working on a game that used the name “Sharknado” and it was “similarly” based on the movie of the same name. I say similarly […]

Scramble is a New Side Scrolling Homebrew Shooter for the Atari 2600
November 17th, 2015 Carl Williams The Atari 2600 was no stranger to 2D side scrolling shooters. We saw a few iconic ones released on the console.

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 […]

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 […]

Take Your Commodore 64 On-Line with Upcoming Wi-Fi Cartridge
July 18th, 2015 Carl Williams The Commodore 64 featured a lifespan that was somewhat unique, especially considering how popular it was (and remains to be). Particularly, it missed the Internet (as we know it) and it missed “affordable” Wi-Fi options that we enjoy today. Those things have not stopped independent developers from creating a Wi-Fi cartridge for the little Commodore […]

New Game: Alien Pinball Coming to the Atari 2600
February 24th, 2015 Carl Williams Pinball. A staple in most arcades and a genre that is quite misunderstood by most of the, dying, arcade going public. There is more to pinball than what players see as they pass by on their quest to put quarters into the latest one on one fighting game. There is finesse, strategy and technique mixed […]

New Game: Princess Quest Ported to the Mattel Intellivision, Release Imminent
January 20th, 2015 Carl Williams The Mattel Intellivision is a console that was not all that well received by the gaming community of the early 80’s but that has not stopped homebrew developers from continuing to support it. One such homebrew publisher is Collectorvision (we like these guys as evidenced here). Princess Quest was originally a Colecovision title, another console […]
