  3. Now that the AtariAge forums are down, @Justin you should start pushing this forum as a replacement for the AA forums!!!

  6. My sixth book was just released yesterday and is now available thru Amazon! The Atari 2600 Homebrew and Hacks Checklist books are now available in full color or black and white paperbacks. "The Atari 2600 is alive and well, with new games being released all the time through the power of Homebrew! The Atari 2600 Homebrew and Hacks Checklist book covers all titles released on cartridge over the past 25 years (1995-2020) for Atari’s legendary console. Inside this book, you will find every title listed in a checklist form to keep track of your collection. Each title has pertinent information about the release with the programmer, publisher, original price, quantity made and so much more. From the first homebrews like SoundX, Edtris (1995), Okie Dokie, Stell-A-Sketch, Cubis, Tetris26 (1996) to the latest and greatest releases like Zoo Keeper, Avalanche, Tower of Rubble, Venture Reloaded (2020) are covered in this checklist book. This edition is in full color on white paper and contains 150 pages covering every release for the VCS/2600 console. Cartridge labels are pictured after every letter chapter to show the differences between releases over the past 25+ years." My plan is to have an updated checklist book every year (by Christmas) with the latest and greatest Atari 2600 homebrew releases all added within the current book.

  8. I bought the game new, late in the existence of it..... probably 1987. So I had the game manuals, but I never knew til now what the building icon did AND that you could eat the Reese's Pieces for more points! That changes the game for me!!! That makes sense now! Thanks!
