Albert Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 Cat and Leo, two young and brave siblings, were playing in an enchanted forest near an abandoned castle, when they fell into a trap made by the Melee-Bat to capture our heroes and trap them in the castle for all eternity! Now they need your help to escape the castle as they face various challenges, but not before defeating the mighty Melee-Bat and his gang of outlaws! Escape from the Castle is a new Atari 2600 game by Eduardo Vilarinho, available soon in the AtariAge Store! You can learn more about the game at escapefromthecastle.com. ..Al 18 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/328883-escape-from-the-castle-new-atari-2600-homebrew/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

insertclevernamehere Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 Wow. It's weird how these after market games work. Sometimes you learn of a work in progress and years later....nothing. No sign of it. No more progress made. Then you get something like this arriving completely out of the blue. I like the look of this. Reminds me a bit of Montezuma's Revenge, probably my favourite 2600 game. Interesting variation on the usual Atari silver box colours too. Really like the purple. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/328883-escape-from-the-castle-new-atari-2600-homebrew/#findComment-4974664 Share on other sites More sharing options...
King_Salamon Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Interesting to see the availability of digital versions being available... I like it! Does this mean Atari Age will be selling the digital versions of this game in addition to the physical collectors edition? Regardless, this looks like a fun title that just appeared out of the blue! 2 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/328883-escape-from-the-castle-new-atari-2600-homebrew/#findComment-4975258 Share on other sites More sharing options...

fluxit Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 (edited) Challenging. I've only escaped 5 times total, so far. This was the first run where I was able to escape more than once. There does seem to be a bug related to the end boss, where you will bounce up after defeating Meleebat, and if you land in the hole there will be a beep, and the game does not advance to the lower level escape screens. Instead, the game clock continues to run, and the game can only be reset, so far as I could tell. I was playing on Stella 6.7.
