Before I got into Atari programming, I used to think up of little games I could make. And after watching the "Time Machine" episode of The Brak Show, I knew Headkicker was a must. Zorak and Brak are playing this Atari-2600-graphics-like game called Headkicker where Brak is laying down and Zorak keeps kicking Brak's head. I didn't care if it would turn out to be a boring game, I must own it! Fast forward a few years later, and here I am making my own Atari 2600 games thanks to Batari and his wonderful software. And I made Headkicker. And I love it. I also changed Sunday Drive to Sky Drive where instead you're driving on clouds in the sky. My mom remarked that it looks like you're driving to Heaven. And I just got started on a top-secret game for next year's Minigame Compo. I can only tell you two things: #1: I hope this game makes Ants look like ET and #2: I just got started designing the sprites. It's about, oh, 5-10% finished, and I'll begin working on it again around November because 2007 is a long ways off yet. I am so excited because I get to watch Pee-Wee's Playhouse on Cartoon Network, and then Jay Leno's headlines come on after that! There should have been a Pee-Wee's Playhouse game for the 2600 (or NES) because that show was a hit! It ran from 1986-90 so it could have had a really decent 2600 game. It's a shame that they didn't release Klax or Ixion, cuz both those games rock!
