It's crazy how Champ Games games makes me feel like a kid at the arcade again, but I get to play them on the 2600. Life is good.
They are amazing games for sure!
I played many homebrew's, and I especially like the shooters including Draconian, Scramble, Super Cobra, and Juno First.
I videoed me playing all of those games on my 2600 console, and the video was corrupted so I couldn’t publish it. I’ll try again this week. I love all of those games on the 2600
Scramble is a good game that didn't get many home ports in the 80's. But it has a number of homebrew releases on systems including the Atari 2600, 5200, 7800, and NES. Scramble is the precursor to horizontal space shooters like Gradius and R-Type.
Yes, and I love those other shooters as well. Those other ports of Scramble are pretty good. Thanks for watching and commenting!! I may do a review of the different versions of just Scramble… I like that idea, thanks!
Most of these games are very ambitious and incredible that they are on a 2600.
Yeah, somehow John Champeau takes advantage of newer tech that wasn’t available back when the system was out. Love these games!
Unbelievable. I wish I could take these back to 1982 with me. Then again, I'd probably never sleep nor eat.
Lol! I hear ya! Yeah, these are great, and I probably wouldn’t sleep either. Thanks for watching!
@@RetroBlissGaming You're welcome! PatmanQC tipped me off to Champ and the homebrew scene. Perhaps you're familiar with his videos on UA-cam. Fun stuff.
I have a copy of the original playable prototype version of AVALANCHE by Champ Games for the Atari 2600 VCS, that I received from its programmer as a download through the AtariAge forums. Even being an early version it is fun to play.
Yes, Avalanche is a fun paddle game for sure!
You split the QiX! Ballsy QiX gaming!
Most of these game look awesome
A blind squirrel gets a nut every now and then!
😮 man if they were to release games like this back in the day there would have been no video game crash
I couldn’t agree more!!!
Amazing games. I have digital copies of some of them.
Yes… they are almost as fun as Space Pac-Man! I can’t wait until I review your new game!
Man I hope all of these work on the Atari 2600+. Sure I could play these on my MiSTer, but I would like to own these physically.
I’m not hopeful that they will, but I will be testing them in my review!
I like the added cut scene!
Which game?
Thanks for putting this video together Phil, you did a great job! It's quite a thrill seeing all the games one after the other, and the bonus previews of Qyx, Gorf Arcade and Turbo Arcade! :)
I’m so excited to get the new ones! Gorf Arcade and QYX is a must have for me. I’m also anxious about the other games that you are working on!
@@RetroBlissGaming Thanks Phil! Qyx will be available in the AtariAge store this month with Gorf Arcade released in October at the Portland Retro Gaming Expo and available in the AA store after that. We typically make the ROM available soon after the physical release. Thanks again for the support, we appreciate it! :)
ROBOTWAR 2684 - that is awesome!
It’s a great game!!!
Racing game looked fun 👌
Yes, I’m excited to get Turbo Arcade, when it’s released
Lady Bug Arcade is actually a current release, too. (Lady Bug was a release of theirs from many years ago, but they've massively revamped it.)
Yeah, I featured both of them just because they are available for purchase. I do like the improved arcade version better also! Thanks for watching, Chris!
these are amazing i want elevator and mappy
You can now order them from champ.games!!!
I already own all but those not yet released. Although it's not a game by Champ Games I've been playing the Atari 7800 homebrew FailSafe by Bob DeCrescenzo (sold by AtariAge) a lot lately. I'm determined to beat it.
I’ll have to check that one out!
@@RetroBlissGaming It's an unofficial sequel to the 1982 Atari 5200 game Countermeasure.
Oh, these are so amazing. Pretty sure they do not work on new 2600 Vcs?
I’m pretty sure they will not, also!
These games are so incredible. I grew up with the 2600, and the games may have been low-quality compared to the arcade games they were porting, but they were fun.
If I were to create a game, I would like to use some of the peripherals that were available, but underused, especially the Video Touch Pad or the Keyboard Controller. (I lean toward the Touch Pad because then I would try to come up with overlays for the games.)
That would be amazing. I think the reason that it’s not happening is that most people don’t have those peripherals. It would be cool to see new games for them, though!
I want to see a video of 2600 games that homebrewers have improved on.
That’s a great idea. If you have any particular ones that you know of, let me know!
@@RetroBlissGaming I know there the OG pacman that's been improved on, I know of Donkey Kong that's been improved on, I think there was work being done on the original Mario Bros. I know theres others out there, just not sure what.
@@RetroBlissGaming there is also Chaotic Grill which is an improved version of burger time. There are many I'm also not aware of.
All of these are beyond impressive and would have blown my mind when I was a kid. I wonder if the rom sizes were feasible.
They are all amazing... but, no, they would not have been possible back in the life of the console. Most of these games are 32K. Most of the Atari cart were between 2K to 4K, with some 8K toward the end of it's life.
LOL!! Come on. It's not just "rom" size! LOL. They're using a cpu 50x more powerful than what was available at the time.
Elevator "Agent" is a dead ringer for the original
I’m chomping at the bit to get it! It looks amazing!
Was all the flickering from the emulator or the game display you where using or is games actually like that eg pacman.
The flickering shows more in the stream than it does when actually playing the game.
This is the 1st time I hear about the Turbo conversion. Scramble and Super Cobra were already witchcraft, if they pull off Turbo it'll go even beyond that.
The demo is nice. You can download it to check it out at the Champ Games website!
not witchcraft. Good programming and a cpu that could actually run multiple simultaneous emulations of the real arcade games.
How do you get such good video quality 2600?🤔
I actually bought the ROMs from Champ Games and did video capture through my computer.
Wow, wizard of war and "galagon" are 100%
Yes Sir!!
