Garry Kitchen wannabes, here's your chance

[Fort Apocalypse]

I think there is a good chance that the new flashback console will support the 2600, and even if there is a glimmer of hope that it might, and if the cartridge format that they choose is actually just an encased memory stick, or even in the very remote chance it supports USB, then there will be a lot of people that will be interested in new homebrew games for the 2600.

 

That said, for those that aren't aware (there may be a few) Batari Basic is a really great way to get into Atari game development, and you can create some pretty neat games with it (it's not just a stepping stone to asm anymore). If you are interested, please check out the Batari Basic (bB) forum in AtariAge: http://www.atariage.com/forums/index.php?showforum=65

 

There is a really great tutorial to get you started and a really great page for reference when you start writing code. Folks like SeaGtGruff (Michael), batari (Fred), and Curtis on the bB forum are always helping people out. It has been really fun hanging out with those guys and learning how stuff works. Maybe you might like it too.
