Great Homebrew Outside of AtariAge

[Silver Back]

I know many of us are anticipating the new homebrew titles from AtariAge that will be (supposedly) shipping the end of this month.  I think for a lot of people AtariAge is the beginning and end of 7800 homebrew. Well I'm here to tell you, there are some fantastic titles that can be found for those willing to seek them out. 

So I'm going to list a few of my favorites from 3 alternative resources.  If I miss any then please share them with us!  Also, while they aren't technically apart of AtariAge proper, I won't be listing items sold by users on AtariAge either. Although there are some great games to be found this way, you still have to visit AtariAge and search the forums for those, which is a likely next step from the AA store. 

And also, for the purposes of this list, I will be listing hacks and unreleased stuff as well. Ok onto the list. 

Let's start with Video61 Atari Sales offerings:

Putt 18 Miniature Golf - This game won't be for everybody, but you do get a lot of bang for your buck. 5 courses full of unique holes and obstacles await you.  The graphics are on the basic side but if you can get beyond that I'm sure you'll be pleased. 

Venture 7800 - Once again this arcade conversion is complete and adds 2 more levels with more unique rooms to conquer.  I feel that video 61 packs good quantity into their games and I haven't felt cheated yet by a short or shallow depth game from them. This is probably my favorite of theirs. 

Animal Keeper - Okay this game is nuts. If you enjoyed zoo keeper then you'll know what to expect. The game is chaotic and crazy and super addictive. The poopy brown labels on the physical cart was an odd choice though...

Ok onto another favorite of mine, Good Deal Games and their Homebrew Heaven!

Plutos / Sirius - These were two unreleased titles that were found and finished by the community and they are great space shooters to boot!  Right now GDG is the only place to find them. Get them while you can!

Scramble - This is technically a Hack of another homebrew but it's a fun challenge.  Challenge is the keyword as you'll need the skills to see anything past the first level. 

And finally, 2600connection has some offerings. Well 2, but I'm not gonna talk about the game Pineapple...

GoSub - But I will talk about this fantastic title!  GoSub is a maze game where the walls mean death and the enemy(s) is relentless.  It's capped off with a great final boss and its a great time all around!
