Atari 2600 RPG Gets Homestar Runner-ed

Thanks to several readers for pointing out that Paul Slocum's new, in-development Atari 2600 RPG, which we've mentioned previously on Slashdot, is now revealed to be using the official Homestar Runner license. According to the newly-released info, "Mike and Matt Chapman (creators of Homestar Runner) will be contributing story, graphics, and creative ideas to the game", and you will be able to "...play as Homestar, Poopsmith, or Strongsad" and, as before, "...fight enemies from other Atari 2600 games" when the game is released as an actual cartridge, early in 2004.

Well, I was going to issue a fatwah that you be flamed for not knowing who Strong Sad is, but I figured given the nature of the thread, it would be more appropriate to call for your...BURNINATION!

TROGDOR! TROGDOR!

Seriously, though, Strong Sad it Strog Bad's little brother who is always - you guessed it - sad.

Make ROM Available

I'd like to play it, because most everything the Chapmans have done until now has been a scream, but I don't have a console, nor do I want to buy one. I've got no problems with buying a ROM file and trying an emu, and I think there are a lot of HR fans that are in the same boat. Here's hoping they just sell the ROM file from the cart alongside the cart itself.
