atari2600land's Blog - Remember Jack?

[RSS Bot]

About 8 months ago, I had completed a 2600 game called "Jack and the Beanstalk." It just sat there in the vast server of AtariAge just waiting for someone to remember it. Looking through my PM folders, I got a PM from someone mentioning this game. I had completely forgotten about it. Now with the releases of Juno First and Dungeon, I wonder if it would be possible once the store is back, to release this game. I PMed Al about it, haven't got a response yet, but I don't see why not, especially because it doesn't make use of the SuperChip (which would make the cost around $25 if it is indeed in the store - it's a 32k game.) I was browsing the Homebrew forums and found the last update was version 78a. So I uploaded a version 85 i found on my old computer in that thread. I hope many of the new people who joined since March will find the game amusing, and, if it ever gets in the store, buy it. Just for easiness, I'm going to post version 85 here too, so you don't have to go looking for it.
