Homestar Runner Atari 2600 RPG Nears Release

Thanks to Atari Age for pointing out an updated demo of the Homestar Runner Atari 2600 RPG has been made available on their forums, and an attached message notes "...new bigger tiles, bigger map, ability to move between different maps and enter some buildings, [and a] partially done inventory screen." There's more information on this previously covered title at the official Homestar Runner RPG site, which lists pertinent features for the game, which is due to be released this May, including: "Will be released as a cartridge for the Atari 2600", and "Strongbad is not playable because he is the villain!"

How'd they get it on a cart?

What's more interesting to me than the game itself (though as an avid Strongbad fan I can't wait for the game either) is how are they going to produce an Atari 2600 cartridge? If this process is easy (which I can't imagine it would be) then why haven't we seen more Atari/NES/(S)NES games come out from the indie scene. If this process is difficult then I wonder if there would be a tutorial/HOWTO on the process somewhere?

Duck?

[FubarPA]

So, soes Homestar get to release a duck to go after Strongbad?

Somebody get this freakin' duck away from me!.

For those that don't know, one of the menus is gaming themed, and selecting one of the options displays Strongbad with a trophy running from a dragon from Adventure. Good stuff.
