Welcome to the official topic for Groundskeeper 2

208,385 with a Modern. This was a personal best and my first time completing arcade mode! Still a bit back from @D.joe, but we have a lot of days left in May. 😉

Mail Call: I just received my copy of Garbage Pail Kids: Mad Mike and the Quest for Stale Gum from iam8bit! I love the digital version on Steam and I'm so happy to have the physical release. Only 4,000 were made and only one in eight (500) are the pink "stale gum" cart. Those were randomly shipped so I lucked out!

Apparently Tailgunner is no longer available from the VCS store. The Dec closed up shop and removed the game from all platforms. If you have it, don't delete it!

Looks great! Are you planning a release through Songbird?

Yeah, the high score boards with tournaments have your name all over it @D.joe !

There was an update to the game and it's now fully playable again. If you value original content from these creators, please support this FANTASTIC game. Do not download the leaked 2600 ROM.

Here's my first look at Avian Knights for the Atari VCS! Fans of the Williams classic Joust are bound to love this modern homage...

Out now on the VCS!

Just a note from Twitter RE a temporary locking of Alien Abduction: There is an issue with a new encryption we had to put on the file due to piracy attack. To make sure the games are secure we can't roll it back. The game will be down for a short time until we can fix all this. You can thank a jerk on YouTube for the drama. This is why we can't have nice things. 😒

@nosweargamer posted a solid review of the game.

Honestly, it plays like a sequel to H.E.R.O. with different sprites to avoid licensing issues. It's really cool to seen this kinda digital release in the modern VCS. Well done @Davpa and team for making this happen. It's a big win!

@Caleb Hick88 , check out Geek Battle Gamer. He's a U.K.-based YouTuber with VCS content. He may have some content and/or advice on this matter. https://youtube.com/@GeekBattleGaming There is also a video on importing a VCS to Europe here: In terms of compatibility with PAL, this is a modern HDMI console so there shouldn't be an issue on modern sets as HDMI is a global standard. You may need a power adapter though as the VCS would ship with a U.S. power supply/plug. I couldn't recommend any sellers in particular. I hope that helps!

Gameplay only footage of Alien Abduction! This is the new 2600 game developed by H.E.R.O. legend John Van Ryzin and released as a digital exclusive on the modern Atari VCS!
