Six new games for the Atari VCS/2600!

[Video Soft]

Six previously unreleased Atari VCS/2600 games that were developed by Jerry Lawson’s company, Video Soft, are at last being released! The games were mentioned in press releases from the early 1980s and were long thought to have been just one of the many vaporware titles that never materialized. Not only do they exist in prototype form, but all were far enough along in development to be playable, with half of them considered to be complete!

Thanks to Jerry Lawson and the efforts of a few, dedicated Atari fans, the prototypes were archived, new artwork was created, and cartridges were produced. Each includes both a box and manual, and production is limited to 100 numbered copies of each title. Only 100 of each will ever be produced. This is the single-largest cache of unreleased Atari VCS/2600 prototypes to ever be released at one time!

Orders are now shipping! See the Digital Press webpage below for more information:

I trust you will post other material of interest to our members as this post is close to being spam. Due to the content I will let it go though.

Everyone here has a special place in their hearts for the 2600.

Go Crusty , should make a good investment for the future. I cant afford to spare the $, need it all for next months hosting fees.

That sucks HT. Somehow I wonder and feel if it's a ripoff, but at the same time... wow. It's almost like when they came out with Mega Man 9 and Mega Man 10 for the xbox 360, but they were exact NES games. :3

I know these games were produced 30 years ago, so maybe my post here isn't totally relevant, but I can't believe that a 35 year old system is still being programmed for today. I hate the "dispsable" mindset we have today.

Yea, I've been begging nintendo to start re-producing the NES and all of it's library for sale again, only with an HD upgrade so that it runs better on today's televisions. Will they do it... no... >.>'
