Yep, this review is out of order due to it having been the game for HSC Season 5 Week 42. If you're not currently taking part of the 2600 High Score Club then I highly recommend you check it out as you'll get exposed to...

Gingerbread Man, by Fred Quimby
5/5

In the Gingerbread Man you take on the title role of the classic children's tale and must make your way through 20 levels to earn your freedom.

The game consists of 5 distinct levels, with well varied goals for each. In level 1 you find yourself in the oven and must pick up pieces of other baked goods...

I've had a couple interesting opportunities come up that's going to delay further reviews for a bit, possibly until early next year.

2005 Minigame Multicart,
5/5


The 2005 MiniGame MultiCart is a collection of 7 games from the 2005 MiniGame competition. All these games are 1K, with the exception of M-4 which clocks in at 4K. As such, these games are an exercise in minimalism and reminded me a lot of the BASIC games I wrote on my...

AtariVox Speech Synthesizer, by Richard Hutchinson
5/5


When the Atari reigned supreme, there was something other systems had that it didn't - voice synthesis in the form of The Voice for the Odyssey 2 and Intellivoice for Intellivision. With digitized sound, kids today can't imagine what it was like when arcade games first added speech, and...

Ho! Ho! Ho! It's Christmas Time at Atari Age and you've been tapped to take on the role of good ol' St. Nick! For some reason, instead of preparing for Christmas Eve, you're solving puzzles by sliding blocks while collecting goodies and avoiding baddies.

Krokodile Cartridge, by Armin Vogl
5/5


As a developer, emulation is great in that it allows you to quickly test your VCS creations on a computer system. The only downfall is that no matter how good the emulation is, it's not yet 100% accurate. I found this out the hard way when writing Medieval Mayhem - a change that worked just fine on the...
