The Future Is The Past: New Sega CD Games

Posted by timothy on from the i-don't-want-to-go-on-the-cart dept.

BenT of PlanetDreamcast writes: "The Sega CD is very, very dead. Or... is it? Michael Thomasson of Good Deal Games thinks the old add-on might have some life in it yet, and he's backing up such claims with some action: his company has released two brand new, never-before-seen Sega CD games! We talked with Michael about these games and a whole lot more, and it makes for an interesting look at the fringe of the console game publishing world." Fringe, indeed. Can someone please make some new games for my Atari 2600, too? ;)

  2. FMV Isn't A Game! by BRock97 · · Score: 3

    Sorry, but both those games are full motion video games. Please, those don't even count as a game! Watch video, press button, watch video, move left, watch video, press button. You win. I was hoping for something a little more impressive....

    Yes, they can. Development software is here.

    Alternatively, type "Atari 2600 VCS Development" into Google. Ah, bless that Web!

  4. VCS programming by mirko · · Score: 3

    French Editor ACBM has issued a long serie of programming articles about VCS programming in the magazine Les Puces Informatiques.
    It seems its programming is quite easy and you can quickly enough get good results such as your own version of Space Invaders that you'll run on top of an emulator.
    So the answer is do-it-yourself.

  5. Definitive Atari 2600 Programming Information! by mactari · · Score: 3

    For downloadable homebrews (since the first request was for new games for the author's Atari 2600): http://www.io.com/~nickb/atari3.htm

    Try Oystron and This Planet sucks, two of my favorite new games. Emus are on-site
    as well.

    Nick Bensema's site (follow link above) also has programming tutorials (many that he wrote) and tools to program the Atari on everything from your DOS box to a Commodore 64 (no lie) -- except for a Mac. For that you have to go to my site...

    http://homepage.mac.com/mactari/mactari/mact.htm l
    (yes, the URL is pretty repetitive)

    This page has tools for Classic Mac OS. I hope to get around to compiling the tools under Darwin soon.

    To _talk_ about Atari programming, head over to www.biglist.com and sign up for the "Stella" listserv. Low but interesting traffic on our favorite classic console!

    It's all 0s and 1s. Or it's not.
  6. Atari2600, Vectrex, Coleco....etc.etc. YES! by curtisk · · Score: 3

    People have been making new games for old systems for quite a few years now...or ports of exsisting games (ex. Tetris on 2600) a good number of which are made into limited production carts, which naturally, some collectors go nuts over :)
    There's a guy in New Jersey that creates new titles for Vectrex, Coleco and Oddyssey2 and is a pretty good guy all around.....you can check out his stuff at http://www.classicgamecreations.com/
