+Charlie Cat Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 (edited) Hi guys, I'm interested on purchasing some Atari homebrew games for the Atari 2600. I joined Atariage in mid-2007 and didn't know much about them. There still all new to me. I unfortunately never purchased a homebrew game before either. I purchased hacks & reproduction cartridges, but that's about it from an Atari system (or any classic consoles). Is there any in particular that you fellas like to suggest for me that I should consider purchasing. Any recommendations would be useful. Thanks. Anthony....

My own favourites are: Oystron, Thrus+, LadyBug, Strat-O-Gems, Medieval Mayhem, Crazy Balloon, and Go Fish! Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are TONS of homebrew recommendation threads all over the place here. Here's one in progress in the 2600 forum: http://www.atariage.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=137825 Also most homebrews in the store have reviews too so you can read those to help you decide. Or use the search engine here and find one of the other dozen or so "homebrew recommendation" threads. P.S. Toyshop Trouble and Thrust.

Impaler_26 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Just download a 2600 emulator and try out the homebrew games yourself. The ROMs for most of the homebrews in the AA-Store are available. My favorites are Medieval Mayhem, Toyshop Trouble and Lady Bug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littleman jack Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 There's also a post running in the 2600 forum today titled "opinions on some 2600 homebrews" with a lot of suggestions and input. It may help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickybaby Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 I second these games among others! Bean also loves them. But we all know my heart and hers are with 7800 homebrew games.

vdub_bobby Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 (edited) I'm always up for a homebew recommendations thread! Shooters: Thrust+ Oystron Colony 7 Seawolf Platformers: Fall Down Gingerbread Man Paddle: Medieval Mayhem SCSIcide Other: Lady Bug Toyshop Trouble Star Fire But, really, you'd have a hard time going wrong with any of the ones for sale in the AA store. And, well, I'm partial to Reindeer Rescue and Squish 'Em, but I am a bit biased with regards to those guys.

Shawn Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Gunfight Conquest Of Mars Reindeer Rescue Those are the best ones IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
