Hadn't seen this on the board yet and thought it was pretty cool...

In June, the creators of Homestar Runner will be releasing a brand spankin' new RPG (in cartridge form) for the Atari 2600. Talk about retro fanatics. The ROM will also be available for all of those without an actual 2600 console.

This has been discussed at length on the Atari Age forum if anyone is interested in more deatails from the developer:

I will definitly be buying this. I don't know this for a fact, but my guess would be that it will be available to purchase at the Atari Age store.
