Baseball

in "the big leagues" while playing with "ghost
players" because your pal Mikey was grounded and little
Johnny couldn't come out and play. No fielding and base running
here, you get the glory of pitching or being always at bat.
For one or two players. Limited to only 20 copies.

experience.

2nd
Dimension, The
Todd wants to go back in time by any means possible to
attend a Black Sabbath Concert in the 1970's. Todd acquired
some rare earth crystals from a witch on Whyte Avenue and
some S.E.T.I. technology he found disposed of behind his apartment
building. Todd journeyed to mountain in the south to open
what he thought would be a time portal. Little did Todd know
that in fact the portal would open up a gateway not to the
past, but to the 2nd Dimension. You are Todd and with
your (ahem) found laser rifle have entered the 2nd Dimension. There
you must do battle with various flying 2nd Dimensional
Entities to save Earth from this most hostile invader.
This is an unreleased homebrew title from 1995.
I refer to it as a "poor man's GORF!"

Ghost Attack
They say the mansion is haunted. But nobody really knows
for sure. And you've just got to find out. Armed with your
photobeam, you begin your search. Suddenly, there's a flash
of light. Then another. And another. They're all around
you, coming from walls, doors, windows, everywhere. You
reach for your trusty photobeam. Now somebody knows for
sure...
This was originally planned as a pack-in cassette game for
Amiga's Power Module peripheral, and would have been the
first-ever 3-D game for the Atari VCS/2600… and it still
is! It was later planned to be 1 of 3 "3-D" games on Power-Play
Arcade cart #1. It was programmed by Mike Glass, and Jerry
Lawson implemented the use of 3-D. 3 different prototypes
exist – each being a different level of the game. Unfortunately,
none of the prototypes are 100% complete, but 2 are playable.
Everything is included on this cartridge for the sake of
completeness. The cart utilizes the same menu program that
was originally created for the Power-Play cart, and modified
to run the 3 Ghost Attack prototypes separately. As an added
bonus, each game includes a set of 3-D glasses!
Only
100 boxed & numbered copies were produced. This is a
16K cartridge.

PEACE
THROUGH SUPERIOR FIREPOWER!
In the far future, the planet is overrun with enormous,
super insects, who fiercely battle each other for survival.
You've chosen a side to fight for, and the enemy has been
funneled into a deep crevice, but now you're outnumbered.
You put their numbers to the test.
They
say the meek shall inherit the Earth, but how long can you
defend it?
This
is a Tempest clone, but with some unique differences. It
was originally planned to be 1 of 3 "3-D" games on Power-Play
Arcade cart #1. A screenshot was shown in a catalog for
Amiga's Power System, but no description was included. It
was programmed by Dan McElroy and Jerry Lawson implemented
the use of 3-D. The game appears to be complete. As an added
bonus, each game includes a set of 3-D glasses!

is to blast your way out. And you'd better start now...
This was originally planned to be a cassette game for Amiga's

Acid
Trip
You have just taken a hit of some experimental acid found
in a recently uncovered US research lab from the 1960's. Suddenly
you find yourself transported from Earth to the micro-universe
on the Atari 2600 Plane of Existence. You find that your body
has changed from that of a human to an undead ghost. You have
the ability to shoot power pellets out of your head at the
various villains who wish to rid you of your unlife. Adventure
Dragons chomp at you with their decapitated duck-like heads.
Combat tanks approach you as you wonder what this all means.
Why does E.T. want to destroy you? And why do the other undead
ghosts attempt to eat you? This micro-universe is quite strange
and exciting. Perhaps there is a meaning to this after all.

Alien
Attack
You
are defending the colony from Alien Attack.
You
must defeat 16 waves of 6 aliens to save the colony,
and win 3 mother ship battles (every 6th level).
The
aliens will try to knock out your laser cannon
and your laser cannon energy batteries.
Your
laser cannon power supply will only last for a count of
60, so each wave must be defeated within that time so that
the power supply can recharge between waves, or else your
laser cannon will be rendered useless.
You
have a shield which can be activated by pulling down on
the joystick.
The
shield will last for 1 second, but cannot be activated again
for 4 seconds. The shield also puts a higher drain on your
power (5 units).
Left
Difficulty switch toggles between
multi-cannon (B) and single cannon (A) options.
Can
you defeat the aliens and save the colony?
Alien Attack was created by ace programmer Edward
Smith!

Alien
Revenge
This
is a sequel to Alien Attack.
The Aliens are back and they are intent on destroying
the colony!
Since the last attack, you have constructed a planetary
shield defense, but they have discovered the orbiting
power station that controls your planet's shield. You
control the power station's lasers that will defend the
station. You can fire in 8 directions with joystick. Once
again time is important, you must defeat each wave within
40 /25 seconds (difficulty B/A) because your station must
recharge its power supply. Also, your station cannot withstand
more than 10/7 hits per wave (Difficulty B/A). Defend
the station by destroying the aliens. You can also shoot
the alien missiles. You have a shield which can be activated
every 4 seconds by pressing the button.
You have unlimited shots,
but placing TV Type switch to B W limits shots to 40 per
wave!
You have 2/1 shields per wave and cannot fire while shield
is on.
If you can survive 99 waves you have defeated the attackers.

Edward Smith!

we lost communication with the 'Explorer' spaceship yesterday
shortly after it entered an asteroid field. We need you to

of the crew and retrieve the precious cargo which was on board
the ship. This is an extremely dangerous mission which will
require all of the skills that made you the best pilot in
the force. Good luck and God speed.
You pilot the rescue spaceship as it travels through the dangerous
asteroid field. The aim of Asteroid Rescue is to avoid the
asteroids and hostile ships, whilst maintaining your fuel

Astronomer
Astronomer
is a simulation game of sorts that allows the player to
get into the shoes of an astronomer and observe stars with
the world's largest telescope.
The goal of the game is to aim the telescope beam at a star
and observe it throughout the night. This is achieved by
filling up an 'observing bar'. However if the astronomer
takes pictures of clouds while observing a star, the entire
observation will be ruined and the astronomer will have
to start over. This can make his or her life difficult as
there is only a certain amount of time allocated to this
one observer. Once this time is up, the game is over.
Just like in real life, the observer who can do the most
with their time will be considered the best, but this will
partially rest on some luck. How high of a score can you
get?
Astonomer comes with cartridge and full-color manual.

Crack'ed
This game was developed concurrently for the Atari 2600 and
7800, but only the 7800 versiono was released. The 2600 version
only has three levels as opposed to six on the 7800, but those
three levels are well utilized considering the limitations
of the 2600.
As
an Ornithologist, you must protect the eggs of the South
American Hornbill that are nested in your tree. Various
predators attempt to steal the eggs from under your nose.
Using your slingshot, you must defend the eggs until the
timer runs out. If a predator steals an egg you still have
a chance to save it, but you risk losing other eggs from
the tree while you are distracted.
Next
you must protect the Hornbills that have chosen to nest
in the sewers, where the gameplay is the same as the tree
level. Finally you move onto a bonus round at the Rooster
Ranch, here you must shoot roosters that pop out of windows.
This
version of Crack'ed was released at the 2002 Classic Gaming
Expo, complete with a unique label, box and instructions.

Dark
Mage
If you've ever played a classic text adventure, a genre made
famous by Infocom in the early 80s, then Dark Mage
will be an unexpected pleasure for you. Greg Troutman managed
to squeeze a text adventure into an 8K Atari 2600 cart, and
although it's much simpler in execution than Infocom's offerings,
it's an enjoyable game nonetheless.
In
Dark Mage, you play the role of a jester banished
from your kingdom and your goal is to find and return the
king's black rose. As in most text adventures you explore
the game world by moving through the four compass directions,
find and use items and talk with characters you encounter
along the way. This is all accomplished with relative ease
through the use of the joystick controller, there's no typing
here!

Depth
Charge
THE WOLF IS LOOSE!
As a U-boat Commander, your orders are simple: Sail the cold
Atlantic waters and engage in unrestricted warfare with Allied
supply lines, firing torpedoes at anything that moves. But
now you're separated from the wolf pack and running silent,
surrounded by an enemy convoy carrying plenty of depth charges.
Nobody gets medals for sneaking away...
This
was originally planned as a pack-in cassette game for Amiga's
Power Module peripheral. The game was billed as the 1st
"machine-interactive video game“ offering head-to-head play,
with one player the submarine commander and the other the
destroyer captain. Each player would have had their own
screen display and set of commands. The Power Module was
dropped in favor of the Power-Play carts, and the game's
development only went as far as this version.
The
half that exists is the submarine commander part, and is
similar to Sea Wolf. The missing half would have been similar
to Atari's Depth Charge or Sega's Sub-Scan.
Only 100 boxed & numbered copies were produced. This
is an 4K cartridge.

Drakon
Croisade
This adventure game is based on the original Atari 2600 game
by Warren
Robinett, but it has more rooms, improved graphics, and even
a few bonus
features. The castles look more like castles, the dragons
look more like
dragons, and the rooms are less blocky. The backgrounds are
colored which
further enhances the graphical improvements of the game.
The game play is very much the same. The object is to find
the chalice and
return it to the gold castle. That pesky bat is still around
and he has a
new trick up his sleeves. He now has the power to revive dragons!
So even
if you have killed all the dragons the way home may still
not be safe. In
order to gain this ability the bat had to give up his stealthiness.
He is
silent no more! Whenever he appears on screen you will hear
the flapping of
his wings. The sound will bring terror to your heart, especially
if you
happen to be carrying the golden chalice at that time.
There is a nice bonus to opening the gold castle. Inside you
will find a
magical doorway which will transport you half way across the
kingdom. Since this kingdom is larger than the original game
this warp device will come in handy from time to time. So,
if you like the original Adventure game, you
will certainly like this one. It's more of the same fun in
a different
kingdom. |

Entity
"What you can't see CAN hurt you!"
Force the Entity to move to the highest possible level of
existence, through portals in horizontal barriers that continually
keep scrolling down. This must be done as fast as possible
to prevent the Entity from being pushed into the vat of
liquid helium at the base of the screen.
The joystick controls 2 vertical containment walls. You
must move the walls to the edges of the portal. When a wall
is in position, it locks in and turns red; when both sides
are locked, the Entity will pass through the portal. When
you lock the first wall, the Entity will then sense that
you are about to trap it, and it also turns red and speeds
up. This makes it harder to lock the other side!
Can you avoid the Entity's chilling destruction before running
out of energy?
This
version of Entity was released at the 2003 Classic Gaming
Expo, complete with a unique label, box and instructions.

FAILboat
FAILboat is a beer and pretzels game -- you play
it with a bunch of your buddies just for laughs. You
control the boat that starts in the middle of the screen.
You have about two minutes to rack up the highest score you
can while not touching the top or bottom of the screen (which
freezes your score) or the runaway boat going the other direction
(detracts points from your score). There are also currents
to watch out for, as they can push your boat into the obstacles
and you have to compensate for that. Since the score
racks up so quickly and the obstacles are hard to avoid, determining
the winner sometimes comes down to just a few points.
It's everything a party game should be -- simple to pick up,
over with quickly, and keeps the players bunced up enough
that you don't know who's ultimately going to win.

Each

You have to connect tiles of your color vertically or horizontally.
You can move every tile of every color, this means that
you could connect a row of tiles of your opponent's color
if you don't move carefully enough.
To prevent deadlock situations you can't undo the last move.
If you complete a row of your stones your opponent will
lose energy.
If one player runs out of energy the battle is over.

MissADVENTURE
We don't typically deal with hacks, but this one we found
very worthy of a physical release. It is harder and much
bigger than the original Adventure game. The catacombs
in the cave take a while to figure out, and with over 100
rooms, there are a lot of places to look when searching
for a needed object. The dragons have hit points; it takes
several tries to kill one and things can get interesting
fast with five of them roaming the kingdom.
The
randomizing routine in the original version did not separate
the objects very well, and there was a screen roll issue
when played on original hardware; both of which have been
addressed. The room connections have been moved around in
an attempt to make the bat and the dragons move more freely
about the kingdom. A warp room has been added and the fractured
tunnels were changed into a forest to improve mobility.
You can tell what forest you are in by the color of the
trees. Two rooms have been added - a lake and a pyramid.
The object is to find princess Penelope and bring her back
to the Emerald Palace. She is locked away in one of the
3 original castles or the cave. The red key opens the cave,
the Emerald Palace, and the red castle. There are 5 dragons.
A blue dragon named Bargle is intorduced, as well as a baby
dragon named Squeak. Every game is winnable. The keys should
not appear randomly in places where you cant get to them.
There are no secret rooms beyond the solid lines. There
is one room that you can only get into with the bridge.
The bat can pick up the original three dragons, but not
the other two. Bargle likes to guard the red key. The magnet
does not attract the princess, but it will attract the red
key. The magnet only works when it is on the screen. Plus
more!!

loose that item and the girl's platform drops one notch.
If the platform touches the ground, you loose a life. Sometimes
a falling item will flash, which means you must shoot it
quickly or you will be penalized. Once you have shot each
type of item once, you run over and "Pick Up" the girl and
take her off the screen.
Next
is the hotel screen, where you and the girl enter the hotel
and close the blinds. The hotel sign then displays your
"score", and level starts over.
Originally
designed by 20th Century Fox, Pick-Up was eventually released
at the 2002 Classic Gaming Expo, complete with a unique
label, box and instructions.

Hostile aliens are looking for trouble--and they've found
you! Race to your spaceship, it's time to defend against wave
after wave of alien invaders, attack the mother ship, and

Poseidon
In ancient times, there was a mighty god named Poseidon who
ruled the sea in peace and harmony. One day an imposter snuck
into the palace and spiked Poseidon's power drink. He drank
more than his usual fill that day and soon was smashed and

dumped him in a remote part of the sea. With the great Poseidon
gone, the ocean soon fell into the hands of the Evil Sea Creatures.
The entire ocean was covered in a depressing, murky darkness.
You, as Poseidon, soon wake up with a terrible headache. Luckily,
the Evil Sea Creatures left you with your Trident. Now it's
time for payback!

Sunset
Drive
This
is the world's first Atari game featuring a high
resolution 96x96 scrolling bitmap. It uses just
about every VCS trick in the book from bank indexing to
interlacing and even flicker display to achieve the first
game of its kind on the Atari 2600 console!
You
are the Candyman and you have just found out your girlfriend
is a user. You are sitting in a dive bar infamously known
as Lusters located on the mean streets of Edmonton,
Alberta. You look around the smokey bar and see users, losers,
and chain-smoking boozers. You finish off your beer and
it leaves a bitter taste in your mouth. It is like you are
looking at a room of living corpses who don't know they
are dead yet. You get up to leave, and a random gal asks,
"Hey babe, can I catch a lift?" You smile, shake your head
and answer, "I don't look back." As you leave Lusters,
you just can't wait to get back to the country. You get
in your old and rusty F-150 Pick-Up Truck and drive into
the country. You feel the gritty road beneath you as your
tires crunch over the gravel road. Wind flies through your
hair as the AM station plays a familiar song. You are going
too fast, but you don't care. "Death makes angels of us
all...", you remember. You just need to clear your mind.
The sun is setting, so what a better time to go on a Sunset
Drive.
You will encounter all sorts of crazy things on the lonely
country road. The longer distance you drive, the more CANDY
you will get as indicated by your CANDY COUNTER. Remember
how much you like giving CANDY to the waitresses at the
bar, so drive well. You will find GAS CANS that will give
you fuel so that you may continue your wild drive and fuel
your TRUCK and lawnmower. There are SLEAZY HITCHHIKERS who
want to catch a ride, but look out, they will rob you of
all your CANDY and slow you down. Beware of those tempting
BOTTLES OF BEER. They will get you drunk and you will lose
1 CANDY for each BOTTLE OF BEER you drink. Also, BOTTLES
OF BEER can slow you down, if you drink too much. Even if
you are wasted, please stay on the ROAD. If you drive on
the GRASS, you will use up more fuel. So keep on truckin'.
You are the CANDYMAN.

King Bill has twisted the land to meet his own wicked ends.
You have been summoned by Prince Kori of the under kingdom

As a tribute to both role playing games of the 1980's and

of a black and white Timex Sinclair 1000 dream, enter into

Originally written and submitted in 1985 by a writer using
the pen name Kim Ryan, The Realm of No! started out
as a 10 copy module submission to a well known publisher
of role playing game modules. This module was never published,
and never returned to the author, but somehow the 10 copies
made it into private collections. Over the years, various
The Realm of No! modules would be discovered or
rediscovered. Considered vastly unpopular my many modern
role-playing historians, people still seemed to be fascinated
by the history of the module and the strangeness of the
module itself.

Wedding
Cart
Customers have been requesting this for years. While it
may be odd that anyone would want a cartridge that contains
a cartridge that displays a wedding photo of my wife and
myself, it is a technical achievement that hasn't been surpassed.
The Custom Image Cart/Memory Cart has a long documented
history. Here goes...
Back in the late 90's, Greg Zumwalt came up with a code
to produce Image Carts © that used a stretch 32x24 image.
It wasn't very nice but it was a start and it led to the
creation of the Photo Carts © from 2002-2008. These Photo
Carts included improved color palettes and resolution now
at 48x64 pixels. Davies and Rideout vastly improved upon
the code while Greg took some time away and created multibank
versions that basically created animated GIF's. Upon returning
to the scene, Greg began work on increasing color display,
and following the works of several others, he was able to
produce my own 460 colour palette display. YES, on the Atari
2600!
While all very impressive, especially for the Atari 2600,
they all lack one major aspect, they are nothing more than
demos with no interactive function. In short, they are not
games. Another major setback is that these all require special
chips, SuperCart or TigerVision, to work and that translates
into increased costs. So much so that most of these were
released in ROM format only. Greg decided to start anew.
Greg would create a high resolution multi-colour display
that is interactive and works in an 8K chip. His first successful
demo is Luna. It is simple, in display, not code, but worked,
if not a little buggy. It is only a single layer B&W with
vertical scrolling and a single sprite that moves horizontally.
Over the months, Greg improved upon the code and was able
to produce a 96x140 display. But now Greg was back to the
issue of no room left to do anything more.
It was at this point in time Greg was able to juggle around
some code and came up with a 4K demo! Not very stable, overscan
issues, but heading in the right direction. In 2008, Greg
worked on Gray Games releases such as the Tron Guy Picture
Cart and the Digital Photo Album which shows a series of
pictures at intervals. Unfortunately, these releases were
expensive to make utilizing customized Tigervision boards
and expensive board components to make these work on an
Atari 2600.
http://www.atari2600homebrew.com/tron-guy-picture-cart.html
http://www.atari2600homebrew.com/digital-photo-album.html
In 2014, interest was renewed due to Michael Thomasson's
(of Good Deal Games) wish to have his wedding photo to be
digitized on the Atari 2600. Charles F. Gray of Gray Games
felt it was possible to improve the image, so Greg went
back to 8K and corrected a number of bugs including that
ever troublesome overscan. The result, a clean steady 96x70
high-res 64 colour image with just enough code left to have
some fun. Back in 1995, Michael Thomasson attended a Mardi
Gras party and was meeting his friend Steve Seng. Steve
was running late and she was the only person that Michael
recognized. He went up to her and fumbled out something
like, "I know that your name is "something-Ann." and she
corrected him that it was JoAnn and not "SomethingAnn."
It wasn't until a few hours later when Michael was leaving
that she ran up to him and demanded that Michael dance with
her before he left, saying something like, "Aren't you going
to dance with me before you leave?" Her mother and friend
Barbara were visiting KY from Buffalo and told her mum that
she would eventually marry Michael that very evening...
and they did three years later on May 30th, 1998.
Michael was recently quoted as saying, "We make a good team.
But living with me, "Everyday is like Christmas!" so she
has it easy. Seriously, we are both very flexible individuals
and generally very positive thinking people. Like all couples,
we've had our share of misfortune but we prop each other
up and there for each other when either of us is in need.
Videogames have been a large portion of our time together.
While JoAnn is more of a casual player, she religiously
went garage sale hunting and flea markets with me every
weekend, scoured the Sunday newspaper scouring for deals
and would accompany me during the early dawn waiting for
store doors to open to nab a deal. We'd hit the store racks
as partners with a plan of action and then more time together
cleaning and organizing the treasures we found on our endeavors.
We've boxed up orders together and she has made more trips
to the postal service to mail out boxes full of games more
times than I can count. So, our relationship isn't based
on games, but a grand amount of time together over the last
several decades included them in one manner or another and
more than just sitting on the couch cuddled together pressing
buttons."
In the future of 2014, Charles and Greg both knew that the
code had to be better. More detail and a larger size in
the images had to be realized. The pixel had to be made
smaller or somehow cut apart. Michael's 1998 Wedding Picture
began to be worked on again. As Greg coded, Charles researched
and came up with the following:
Hi Greg, you are utilizing what is now known as a Zumwalt
Pixel. This was copyrighted under the Artistic Copyright
of 2014. To my knowledge no one has ever even theorized
a smaller pixel, much less has created one for the Atari
2600. I've theorized a smaller pixel "Gray Pixel" and even
a smaller one "Thomasson Pixel" after that. I think the
Gray Pixel can be done. Any deeper then you will destroy
reality as we know it.
1/4 of a bit using 16 Zumwalt Pixels
1/8th of a bit using 32 Gray Pixels -theoretical but possible
1/16th of a bit using 64 Thomasson Pixels
-entirely theoretical
-deals with string theory itself.
This is what could happen ;)
Bang bang. Bang bang. Bang bang. There it was again. Greg
woke up from his dream. His mind clouded with horrible images
at the sub-atomic level.
If you keep going deeper and deeper, you said it can
look ugly, something which I have not seen. But then you
can go deeper and deeper into the subatomic layers and deeper
still. Then you hit the bottom. It is there but almost to
the depths of what holds reality together itself.
At the bottom of the code, you see an image, crystal clear.
You see your landlord which half a bottle of whisky and
a thawed bowl of ice cream. The image starts to move and
you can actually hear sound. "Greg, get that damn furnace
started. My bitch sister left the damn door open again."
Suddenly you see the contents of his room melting and then
he begins to melt, then everything on the screen begins
to melt, then your laptop begins to melt. You've broken
through the last barrier between fiction and reality. Hours
later in outer space the Earth melts in upon itself. The
a few hours after than the entire universe and all existence
melts into one single square pixel. the camera zooms back
and the entire area is white except for one tiny black pixel.
Greg has destroyed reality. -- Charles
Greg made more advancements with the code, far beyond even
what Charles or Michael expected out of a machine built
in 1977. Charles needed something that still worked with
standard boards and standard chips. This meant no Tigervision,
no Sara, and no Custom Boards. Greg had this to say in early
2015:
I am working at the sub-pixel level! In terms of physics,
I am working at 1/4 of a bit using 16 sub-pixels per screen
pixel and 8 pixels per row that may be interlaced with 8
or 16 more for colour. Hell, Nolan never even thought it
was possible.
The alphas/betas and Michael's came in at the end of 2014.
All version 4+ are 2015.
In programming, you go from WORDS (too smart for the Atari)
to BYTES (machine code) to BITS (1's and 0's) to NIBBLES
(fractional BITS). That is the level I am working at. Lower
than that an you are into FLAVORS (atomic particles) that
require a special Neutron laser to move electrons around.
This is what was used to write the entire content of the
Encyclopedia Britannica on the head of a pin. It cost $2.8
million. I don't see any Atari enthusiasts paying that much
for a new game. Although, it would make for one hell of
a huge Twisterplot.
Again though, fractional pixelization code has been explored
before. I've just taken it a step further, like my code
was advanced by others, and round and round it goes.
I am already using pixel sizes that are 1/32 of the original
and only 4 times larger than modern computers. The real
issues are scanline timing which is CRT technology; Lack
of vertical colouring which must be done in a very tricky
fashion; And space within the banks. The smaller the pixels,
the better the resolution, but the more data is required
to fill the same space. Take 10 large balls, place them
into a box. Take 100 small balls and place them into the
same box. You are still only filling the box, but it takes
a lot more balls This is why my newest image cart code now
requires 16Kb.

Like Michael and JoAnn's amazing marriage, the image technology
is better than ever. in 2015 the image software was expanded,
tweaked and refined to create a defined digital image which
will display using an Atari 2600. The Wedding Image now
uses 8k and looks fantastic. Any picture can be put onto
one of these Custom Image Carts. These are about capturing
a specific and important moment in time on an Atari 2600
cartridge.

Political 2-Pack:
MacIver and Balloon Protest
Programmed
deep beneath the surface in the Homebrew Heaven underground
lab, these are Good Deal Games EXCLUSIVE releases!
One game features the Wisconsin
union protestors
and one based on the RESPONSE to the Wisconsin union protestors.
Cartridge 1: MacIver
The story... The game author works for a think tank in Madison,
called MacIver, and during the major protests this year
they were taking pictures and documenting it. There were
some real screwballs that didn't like them hanging around.
There were zombie protesters that interrupted a ceremony
for the special olympics, a guy on a segway who staged disruptions
during committee meetings, and finally there was this guy
in a pink dress who chased their intern around the Capitol
for taking pictures. That's where the idea for this game
came from.
Cartridge 2: Balloon Protest
During the Madison protests this year, protesters started
bringing heart shaped balloons into the Capitol and releasing
them in the rotunda. Their goal was to fill up the dome
with these balloons. One day a staffer, who was going crazy
from the months of protest chanting and singing in the building,
snapped. He grabbed a letter opener and tried to pop these
balloons. So in the game, you try to navigate heart shaped
balloons up into the Capitol dome, while dodging the enraged
staffer.

Wizard
The player plays as a wizard from Irata (Atari spelled backwards)
and battles Imps. It takes place in a maze
, but it's not a symmetric
battle: the player is faster than the enemy, but the
enemy can go through walls and fire faster than the player
can.
Wizard
was innovative in several ways. There was no need to
aim, as the angle of the player's fire was automatically
sent in the direction of the player's enemy. The enemy remained
invisible when it was behind a wall, making it one of the
first games to implement a line-of-sight algorithm. It also
had a very realistic (for the time) heart beat, which would
become louder as the player got closer to the enemy.
