24-Hour Atari 2600 Video Game Design Contest

Posted by Zonk on from the quick-hacking dept.

morcheeba writes "Retro Redux was a 24-hour video game programming contest held last weekend in New York. Nine teams worked through the night to produce new Atari 2600 compatible games. Awards were given for the most innovative game, best visuals, and best sound. The best game overall was "Ninja Garden," and it will be featured in a future version of the Atari® Flashback(TM) Game Console. The New York Times was there with event coverage."

  1. In honor of the Atari 2600 ET game by AtariAmarok · · Score: 5, Funny

    This contest should be named in honor of that old Atari 2600 ET game, which, from looking at it, must have been designed and completed in two and a half hours.
