Interesting interview with Zero Page Homebrew and @Davpa, as well as Bob DeCrescenzo and Dionoid on the present and future of hombrew on the VCS.

I would have been interested if this was the DE game in a cab.

Out now!

Releasing of Friday, July 28th! Here's the release trailer:

Here's a great Classic Controller teardown and rebuild by Podan of I Love. Recommended if you're having issues with your joystick!

In case folks have their doubts, Atari's community manager reconfirmed this morning: I think it's inexcusable of Atari to not have included a VCS port in the SOW for Lunar Lander Beyond. What do you think?!

It wouldn't be my list, but not a bad game in the bunch. WELL DONE, SIR!

I've played here and there throughout the month, but I'm staying with 7800 as my submission. 🙂

Be sure to sound off on our Twitter poll!

There has been a lot of confusion regarding Lunar Lander: Beyond and whether or not the game will be published on the VCS. First, the VCS was not mentioned in the press release, nor did the logo appear at the end of the YouTube trailer. The VCS logo did appear on the version of trailer posted to Atari's website. Second, in response to the confusion/speculation the above omission caused, Atari's Discord community manager posted the following clarification(s): All good, right? Not so fast! Enter Atari VP of Games who stated that Lunar Lander: Beyond is not "confirmed" for the VCS. Speculation ensued on both the Atari Games server and the Atari VCS server. Obviously, Atari diehards are rightfully upset. Time will tell what happens, but I'm curious, what are your thoughts? Will you purchase and play this game if not released for the VCS? What does this mean for Atari's support of the platform going into 2024? Sound off!

As these have started to arrive, one thing I've noted is that creator credits for arcade ports have been to the arcade designer/programmer and not to the programmer of the 2600 ports. For example: - Missile Command is credited to Dave Theurer, and not Rob Fulop. - Super Breakout is credited to Ed Logg, and not Nick Turner with Carol Shaw. - Crystal Castles is credited to Franz Lanzinger, and not to Peter C. Niday. While it arguably makes sense to credit the arcade originators as "creators" for these titles, not crediting the 2600 programmers is a serious oversight. This is especially true when lack of credit and compensation led many, including Fulop, to leave Atari. The XP line was the perfect opportunity to correct history and attribute these programmers for their work. As it stands, the XP releases may serve to further muddle history. It's a real shame.
