Were some of these games designed with Batari BASIC? I haven't used BB in ages... maybe it's reached a point where it can make games like this. That last game looks pretty decent. It's like GI Joe Cobra Strike, except, you know, good.
I dismissed the original Atari VCS back in the day. I was busy shoving quarters into the arcade machines and I was used to more sophisticated graphics. I was fascinated with computers and got an Atari 800 because its graphics and animation capabilities were better than anything else on the market. I've been impressed recently by what programmers have been able to do with the primitive graphics of the 2600. Even if the display looks simple the playability is still there. I'm looking for a multicart so I can play some of these on my 7800.
Uncle Hairy's Nosehair may be the best title for a video game I have ever heard++
Great stuff, John. I love that new games are boing made for the 2600. It's still getting love. Thanks for the video.
Thank you John! Always love your stuff fella! 👍🙏
Very nice! Thank you!
Check out Jutland Skies, it's pretty good too.
Cool! Some of those look like a lot of fun!
Nice video, as always, John. Loved it and the games.
Cool to see some new 2600 games! Plan B looked amazing! I'll be checking that game out for sure!
Awesome! More 2600 goodness.

Do you know which of these work on the 2600+ with a Harmony cart?
That Gate Racer game is begging to be played with a paddle controller. Would be instantly more fun.
Some great games there, great video
Thanks for the visit
The Fox Hunt game gives strong Odyssey 2 vibes.
If the creators could get together and release them on evercade I’d buy them right up
Cave Raider has an Odyssey2 vibe to it!
Fascinating ❤
This trend will only continue as modern gaming is going down the toilet.
I agree. I think we're going to see Sega will come out with mini consoles with sports games.
The only good modern games are new retro style games.
Will never buy PS5 or Series X. There”s enough retro for my lifespan. Up to PS4, i’m good. Never digital!
