durden26 Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 I'm a recent addition to the atari community. However, I'm quite impressed by the continuation of Home-brews. What are the best games that recent publishers have produced? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supercat Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 What are the best games that recent publishers have produced? 902769[/snapback] THRUS+, worth every penny. My only complaint is that it's not available in the nifty clear cartridge case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jussts Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 (edited) Go Fish! and Gunfight are also very good. I was wondering... are you only interested in games that have been sold on cartridges, or just any homebrew? Because there are plenty that haven't been.

durden26 Posted August 2, 2005 Author Share Posted August 2, 2005 I'd prefer carts because the developer would be able to be rewarded for his efforts. I'm not interested in ROM's because I feel the author is entitled to a profit if they believe that their product is worthy of financial compensation.

+Nathan Strum Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 (edited) Star Fire. Can't go wrong with that one. Fall Down is a great game, too. Especially two-players. Edited August 2, 2005 by Nathan Strum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 I'd prefer carts because the developer would be able to be rewarded for his efforts. Thanks for your support. I'm not interested in ROM's because I feel the author is entitled to a profit if they believe that their product is worthy of financial compensation. But you know, you can playtest almost all homebrews before buying them this way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 THRUS+, worth every penny. My only complaint is that it's not available in the nifty clear cartridge case. Thanks. The "CCC" exists, because I am bound to my promise, that Thrust+ Platinum is the final release of that game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vdub_bobby Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Go Fish! and Gunfight are also very good. Thanks. I'll put in votes for Thrust+, Qb, and Seawolf. And I also really enjoy the puzzle homebrews. Jammed, especially. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kisrael Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 At the risk of being a shill for my ownstuff... I'd say FlapPing is at least worth a download looksy...especially if you have a friend to play it against, but even the one player modes can be fun.

Jess Ragan Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Fall Down and Seawolf are both great games, rich with color and addictive gameplay. JR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djmips Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Thrust and Jammed are the two that stand out and I so I purchased them. Hunchy II is quite a treat and I would get that if it was on a cart. I also like 'Go Fish' and 'Gunfight' For some reason, I've never tried Marble Craze but that one has always had my eye... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killersquirel Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Get marble craze. It will not only get your eye, but it will take all of your free time also. -mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omegamatrix Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 I have to say Gunfight. I own both Gunfight and Marble Craze and they are both quality titles. Love those games! All the homebrewers out there please keep up the fine work. This is one person who appreciates your hard efforts. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjk7382 Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 IMHO Thrust and Marble Craze are the best, most in depth 2600 homebrews. BTW isn't it time for another "beat thrust contest"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmpddytim Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 BTW isn't it time for another "beat thrust contest"? 904848[/snapback] I'm working on Thrust. I'm getting pretty close but there a a few tricky spots I've got to figure out. You can't go wrong with any Xype game in my opinion. -Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mos6507 Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Oystron is still my favorite. It isn't as flashy as some of the more recent homebrews, but I enjoy its gameplay the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
