+ZeroPage Homebrew Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 (edited) This year for the 2019 Atari Homebrew Awards (co-presented by AtariAge) we've added the "Best Atari 7800 Homebrew" award category!! Completed in 2019: Rikki & Vikki by PenguiNet aka @TailChao - Retail Boxed Release in 2019 Baby Pac-Man by Bob DeCrecenzo aka @PacManPlus - Retail Boxed Release in 2019 Draker Quest II by Clark Otto aka @frankodragon - Video Released, Photo of Cart, Orders Being Taken for Cart Merlain by gambler172 (Missed from list before nomination voting but developer doesn't want it added) Works in Progress (with updates in 2019): GoSub by Chris Read aka @atari2600land Rider of the Night by @frankodragon Dragon's Descent by Todd Furmanski aka @Revontuli Cyb Ur by @SIO2 Death Merchant by Steve Engelhardt aka @Atarius Maximus Frogus by @SIO2 Spire of the Ancients by @SmittyB Arkanoid by Matt Smith aka @mksmith 1) Can anyone (or the developers) verify the "possibly released" three games above if they are completed in their current form? 2) Are there any other homebrews we missed for the 7800 that came out in 2019 (Jan 1st-Now) or are set to be released before the end of the year?

You forgot Arkanoid, though Thanks for the update on GoSub, we'll be watching to see if it's completed by the deadline of Dec 31st for 2019! Doesn't look like Arkanoid is going to make it for a 2019 release but you never know! Ugh, doesn't look like I can edit the top post... I'll update the information here: Completed in 2019: Rikki & Vikki by PenguiNet aka @TailChao - Retail Boxed Release in 2019 Baby Pac-Man by Bob DeCrecenzo aka @PacManPlus - Retail Boxed Release in 2019 Draker Quest II by @frankodragon - Video Released and Photo of Cart Works in Progress (with updates in 2019): GoSub by Chris Read aka @atari2600land Rider of the Night by @frankodragon Dragon's Descent by Todd Furmanski aka @Revontuli Cyb Ur by @SIO2 Death Merchant by Steve Engelhardt aka @Atarius Maximus Frogus by @SIO2 Spire of the Ancients by @SmittyB Arkanoid by Matt Smith aka @mksmith If anybody has updates or corrections to the information above , please let me know!

+mksmith Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 @ZeroPage Homebrew Hi James, no Arkanoid won't be finished before the end of the year - I haven't had much time the past few weeks to work on it due to my real job. @atari2600land Thanks for the mention - good luck with GoSub ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
