Loads of great games in this category! I hope they all get completed and released soon!

We have played the nominated games with my daughter today, and although we now have two clear favourites I am impressed by all of them, (and although she is more of a fortnite generation player she was positively surprised by most of them too!)

 

it’s very amateurish quality, but if you want to see a younger generation of players coupled with very bad gamer attempting to figure out the complexity of original Atari homebrew games please have a laugh at us here:

Just a little warning, as we are both epileptic - we sadly couldn’t play Runes of Moria here, and RubyQ in the port category, so just be aware that you may experience some headache and dizziness with these two if you suffer from a similar condition.

 

Great job everyone, happy to see the games for 2600 just getting better and better
