I've seen quite a few people saying things like "oh, now I can write that 2600 game I have always dreamed about!" Then you look at their design description and it's obviously not going to happen they way they think it will. As you say a compiler isn't going to help them make better games than David Crane. :D |

A little more than a graphical hack, but nothing too fancy. I'm more excited just writing stuff that actually works on the Atari 2600. |

It makes me wonder why we don't have similar fan programming languages for the NES and other 8-bit consoles. I need to look into how to shift memory locations programmatically. A open-source 2600 multi-cart should be possible.... the thing that was holding me back was learning how to program on the Atari. |

I haven't shared much so I guess this is a good place to start. I built a cabinet based on Lusid's design several years ago. I got out of the hobby and now I am back in. I have never posted pics so we will see how this goes. I just picked up two machines in really good condition. Defender is one of my favorites. |
