You should check out what the homebrew scene has made. I bought an old system, and garbage picked a CRT, just to play them. Started with Medieval Mayhem, a Warlords remake closer to the arcade version. Then I went on a years long obsession. Champ Games makes great stuff and has taken over distribution of some games AtariAge doesn't do since "Atari" bought them.


Oh I have. I find the homebrew and demo scene for the Atari to be extremely impressive.

I don’t think it works on real hardware but I’m quite partial to Bad Apple : https://youtu.be/Ko9ZA50X71s?si=Ds7WuMgPHeubBNNz


Someone ported Thrust in 2002: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EeQCIDCod8c

It's quite a feat.


I have that one. Even got the foot pedal, I have no other use for it :) That dev is still petty active, he helped me with a few dev things in the AA forums. Him and a ton of other devs are active in the chat during episodes of ZeroPage Homebrew on Twitch. Nanochess is here on HN quite often too.
