I think a few commenters are being a bit harsh on the poor old Atari 2600. The thing is nearly 50 years old and this comment would almost fill its entire RAM. It’s a miracle it can run anything more complicated than Pong imho.
As much as I like playing old games / systems (more than new games really) the Atari 2600 stuff is always the exception for me – I generally just find the games too basic and not much fun nowadays. This looks really great though – thanks for uploading George – I’m definitely going to play this one. Reminded me of bezerk on first look, but it’s actually quite different and looks fiendish! 😊
no problem mate ! there are loads of good new atari homebrews kicking about, some people have really gotten some great things out of that old technology ! the latest version of boulderdash in particular is incredible but, sadly, it’s only available on cartridge due to a deal with the original license holders who refused to allow a .bin to be released 🙁
yes mate it’s one of my all time favourites but i sold my 2600 last year so i would have nothing to play it on 🙁 the new atari 2600+ looks okay BUT it apparently isn’t going to be able to load homebrew carts which is really stupid

Love a good film about people hunting people. By coincidence i re-watched Battle Royale just last night. Classic. You’ve also reminded me of a straight-to-video film with Ice T called Surviving The Game that i must have rented several times from Blockbuster.
Btw, funny you mention going into a room in a video game and just standing there not doing anything. My niece used to do that and i always wondered what was going through her head. Thanks for the vid anyhow mate.
yes mate i would quite often just go into rooms and stand around :p surviving the game was funny there were a few films like that out around that time, i remember trespass (also with ice-t) and judgement night being others that were quite similar.
Congrats George. I normally vomit on the spot when I see Atari 2600 footage, but somehow your reviewing style allowed me to stay vom-free, and I didn’t need to ask the neighbour to kick the stool away from under me. Excellent work.

i like some of the modern atari titles and some of the old classics mate, there’s a certain inane charm to them and some can be good fun ! you can get the files for this game here: https://forums.atariage.com/topic/349045-fox-hunt-arena-game-completed/
Nice one – cheers! 😊👌

That’s a shame – boulderdash is a great game 😊

Of course mate but they didn’t steal him at the beach that’s where they lost him ! They stole him at Joe’s party ! 😛
Boner is basically the undoing of it all 😳🤦♂️
