AtariAge at PhillyClassic 4
PhillyClassic 4

At this year's PhillyClassic we'll be unveiling two new reproduction carts of unreleased prototypes, as well as two new Atari 2600 homebrews (one being an update to an earlier game). The two repro carts are complete with professionally printed boxes, and all games come with beautiful, glossy labels and full-color manuals!

3D Rubik's Cube
 
Rubik's Cube 3D Box

 

3D Rubik's Cube is a completely different version of the Rubik's Cube game that Atari eventually released. The version Atari released is a pretty simple 2D affair, but this prototype is an astonishing 3D version of the game. This prototype was recently found by David Winter and came as a surprise as its existence was not previously known. This version of the game includes a solve option and will also allow you to change the colors of individual tiles. We can only speculate as to why this version of the game was passed over in favor of the 2D version eventually released. 

3D Rubik's Cube will be sold with a professionally printed box, manual and label. Use of the Rubik's Cube® is used by permission of Seven Towns Ltd.

     
Revenge of the Apes
 
Revenge of the Apes Box

 

The last thing you remember was a terrible solar storm which caused your spaceship to crash land on the planet. You desperately tried to contact your home base but received no response. After scouting the area you have noticed that there are apes everywhere. And to your surprise they are armed and hunting down all the humans they can find!

Your task is to locate the last human stronghold before you are captured by the apes and then turned into a slave for the remainder of your life!

This unreleased prototype is reproduced from an original prototype owned by Marc Oberhäuser with permission granted to reproduce by the original programmer. The game is fully playable and has been enhanced from 4KB to 8KB with additional graphics and an awesome soundtrack. Revenge of the Apes will be sold with a professionally printed box, manual and label.

You can listen to a preview of the music composed by Paul Slocum for Revenge of the Apes here.

 
Kablamo!
 
Kablamo! Cartridge

 

Kablamo! is a 2600 game based on a card game called Boom-O. However, rather than using cards, programmer Chris Larkin opted to use symbols instead. Each player starts the game with three bombs. Players play cards in turn trying not to get the bomb timer over 60 seconds. If you do manage to bring the timer over 60 seconds...you go Kablamo! and lose a bomb. There are a few other things that can make you go Kablamo! as well, but as long as you are the last player with a bomb remaining...you are the winner!

Kablamo! will include a stunning label designed by David Exton as well as a full-color manual.

 
Space Treat Deluxe
 
Space Treat Deluxe Cartridge

 

In Space Treat Deluxe, you control a ship that must reach the top of the screen, collect the tasty treat located there, and get it back to its base at the bottom. The original version of Space Treat was released at the 2002 Classic Gaming Expo. This new version adds several improvements to the original, including:

- Scoring
- Hi-Score feature
- More stable graphics
- 7800 compatibility
- Wider emulators compatibility
- Various cosmetic and audio improvements

Space Treat Deluxe will include a beautiful Atari silver-style label designed by Dale Crum as well as an eight page, full-color manual.
