Bitsized Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 (edited) Hello, @Albert, I know you are busy. I tried emailing support to the AA store but received no response, so I am trying here. I purchased Ninjish Guy from the AA store and got Knight Guy instead. I enclosed the game and invoice. My rationale for purchasing Ninjish Guy was it looked like a killer game that was supported by the 2600+ at the time. Kinght Guy remains closed in case it isn't supported and I really am interested in NinJish Guy if you still have copies.

LSpixel Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 (edited) Hello everyone Just got the Atari 2600 few days ago too. Do you think the homebrews by Champ Games will never work on system or there is some hope with a future update ? Thank you !

+Intellivision Master Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 My Raptor homebrew for the 2600 arrived. It works well on the 2600+. No need to update the console as the game works without the update. I like the game. It's fun but challenging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When using the arcade stick, I couldn't make much progress. But using the custom 7800 gamepad I was able to go further. I'll try getting to the high score of 1,000+ points but not sure if that'll happen. I just have fun playing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glorkbot Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 It would be great if there was a list of Atariage 2600 and 7800 homebrew carts that are compatible with Atari 2600+. Or if their product pages could be updated to include this information. I don’t want to spend $$ to order games only to discover I can’t actually use them. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I will be updating the product pages in the AtariAge Store, as well as on eBay and Etsy, to state if a game is compatible with the 2600+. ..Al 4 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The updates sound like they enable new orders when you're still busy busy busy fulfilling orders that are now several months old. Just considering your work load, that's all. Not that I'm getting impatient for my order or anything. Perish the thought.😜 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But looks like many were games that would be considered copyright violation and thus a significant liability to Atari as the new owners of the site. It was pretty risky for AtariAge to have ever been selling some of this to begin with, I guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But times have changed since then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you’re talking about Sega as one of the rights holders; I don’t know who owns the Nichibutsu catalogue, but I own Hamster’s Arcade Archives release of Moon Cresta, so it’s not dead İP, clearly.

If I ever got the chance I'd love to look at re-releasing F1 Circus, I have many fond memories of that game, the names of the drivers were hilarious.
