this is awesome work. as one who has been involved in jag projects, its really some good stuff. and its something i would carry for sale on my site. i have always thought that the jag can do it. it just has to be done carefully as to not push it to hard.

Surround 'Em is one of our latest games in progress. We are starting this discussion for all to view to see what we have done. We are not done with the Atari 8-Bit computer game yet, it has to be beta tested first. I think Surround 'Em would make a great 5200 game, and we are also in internal discussions if we are going to attempt to port the game over to the Atari 5200 and potentially to the Atari 7800 if there is a demand.

hi peter,
 
 i am glad you posted this. its a discussion that's long over due.
 
 all through out the atari XE, 7800, master system, NES era. all i ever heard out of my customers was, when will atari get super mario bros. or something like that.
 
 its was daily, sometimes many times daily. so much so, that i had to call atari again, which one time ended after a two hour lecture to me, on the evils of videogames, from one of the owners of atari.
 
 the europeans had so many awesome side scrolling adventure games. when i imported them, they were many times a hard sell, the names of the games were foreign to americans, it made them a hard sell. nothing in english sometimes made it very hard. although, some buyers would cave, and come back very excited.
 
 but as usual, atari never made any effort to promote other peoples games, let alone their own.
 
 however, they were looking at those games for sure, i know, i have a few carts they did from some of those games. i sent them games all of the time, so somebody or somebodies, were trying.
 
 we hope to make this game exciting, and what should have been done from 1986-1991.
 
thanks,

made it through 19 stages last night, it took me hours to play them. what a game. one stage i lost four balls in a row, its a hard one. lucky i had racked up some points, and got a few free ball power ups. i think my final score was 120,000 plus points. you get a free ball every 20,000 points. sometimes its a nail biter as you come close to the 20,000 point figure.

Round two of Nintendo on Atari: Donkey Kong Junior on Atari 7800!
 

Before the Nintendo NES lockdown - Oh yeah!!  My first Nintendo game was Donkey Kong on Intellivision... even as a little kid I knew something was not quite right with that port. But it was all I had and I played it for years, thats what we did.

Nintendo on Atari - Mario Bros.
Before they were super, before NES, they were plumbers and they were on Atari.
 

Putting a new twist on the old game Steeplechase.

Continue to celebrate Star Wars this weekend with the Atari / Lucasfilm alliance and the lightning fast game Ballblazer!

Father and Daughter game of Kangaroo... Wow, its hard.

You want to know whats in the box?

What kind of feedback are you looking for on this? The game looks like a superb mashup of Breakout and Pinball! I'd love to see a 5200 version of it. If there were to be a 7800 version made I would like to see improved graphics on par with what the 7800 is capable of. Not to sound discouraging of anyones efforts but there have been too many 7800 homebrews that look more at home on the 2600 or 5200 and would be sub-par when compared to NES titles. Tile Smashers would be a great chance for an NES quality 7800 homebrew.

The fact that it scrolls is sweet, and I like the title screen. Arkanoid type power ups and downs would be nice..

So basically similar to Gee Bee and Bomb Bee. (cf. episode 10 of The Atari 7800 Homebrew Podcast.)    #ShamelessPlug
 
But anyhoo...Lance, I like what i see. I would recommend, if porting it to the 7800, taking advantage of some of the more advanced graphics that the 7800 could do or else some die-hard 7800 users would be turned off by it. Might want to look at Crazy Brix for some inspiration.

hi, and yes, they are in there, this teaser was made before we added them. so there are power ups, and some really cool ones to boot.
 
thanks,
