Hi chsxf, 
it turned out, that Arlasoft was not the only Atari 2600 developer who liked your game very much. I have added some of my own ideas to it, therefore I call it "Top&Tom 2". You can find my version here.
We now plan to release the game on cart in the AtariAge store. Would that be OK for you? If you want to continue to communicate in private, please let me know via AtariAge. My Username is "Thomas Jentzsch".

Thanks for the heads up. I have obviously no problem with derivative works based on Top&Tom. However, just to let you know, my company and I will launch the game on mobile very soon and there may be an issue with the “Top&Tom 2” name in itself. I haven’t tested your game but I’m sure it is perfectly fine. I would only require a change of name I guess. Do you think it would possible on your side?

Thanks for the quick reply. I like the name, but if you prefer something different, I can vary it. Would something like Bot&Tom or Tom&Bot be OK for you? 

Here is a video of the gameplay from a WIP version.

BTW: I think the game will work very well on mobile.

Anything that does not contain « Top & Tom » or « Top and Tom » will be fine.

I am very pleased to see people making these games based on the original. I hope that our final product will be as pleasing to play as the current version. :)

Cool. Working on an alternative name now...

BTW: Please let us know when you launch the mobile version.

Thank you for being so understanding.

And sure, I’ll post here when the mobile version is released.

What happened to the mobile version? I was looking forward to it.

The mobile version has been made but the market being what it is today makes it very difficult to bring the game to any kind of profit. But we are looking for releasing Top & Tom elsewhere at some point.

Fortunately I can do all my projects just for fun. Good luck and thank you for your inspiration again!

BTW: My version just won an Atari Homebrew Award. :)
