Okay, now I have no excuse to just own your entire catalog lol. Previously I'd been picking and choosing as I went along but now I'll just get the whole shebang.

This is a fantastic game! I found the CD release bundled with the other two games at a bookstore about 15 years ago. I believe this is actually the first "robot combat" video game as back in 2000 neither Robot Wars nor BattleBots were established enough to have etched any deals with publishers for a licensed game yet.

I designed this romhack 20 years ago when I was just getting my feet wet designing games for the Atari 2600. Unfortunately my life would take a wildly different course so this tech demo was the only thing I wound up officially releasing for the console.

I've since gotten back on the horse and I'm slowly re-learning how to program for the 2600 and I hope to share more games here in the future. In the meantime you can explore this once lost oddity. The BIN game image is hosted on this page and it is playable in any Atari 2600 emulator such as Stella. Likewise you can also load this ROM image onto any compatible flashcart to play it on real hardware. Certain newer consoles such as the Hyperkin Retron 77 and Atari 2600+ support the sideloading of game ROMs via a memory card so this is also an option for playing this game.

In the near future I have plans to commemorate this (and my future) games with collectible Game Cards. These will be very affordable trading cards featuring artwork from the games as well as being individually numbered for collectability. As the precursor to all the other games I want to make Pineapple 2000 will be card #00. Follow the page to be notified when cards are made available!

A lot of these look real sharp! Don't have any immediate plans for use but I couldn't pass up the offer and I'm sure these will wriggle their way into future projects!

I stream on Twitch every week and a few years back we did an installment of our "GAME HELL" series where I rapid fire short/bad games based upon The SCP Foundation. This game is something I created specially for that particular stream. "Escape From Flea Market Montgomery" is a survival game where you are pursued by apparitions of Sammy Stephens who is trying to capture you and take you to Flea Market Montgomery which is, allegedly, "just like a mini mall".

Don't think about this game too much. It's just a gag I made for my stream but since I want to get more involved with game design in 2023 I thought I'd share this game here as an icebreaker.

This game worked fine on my stream PC back in 2017 however there appears to have been a Windows Update or something that rendered this game incompatible with certain configurations of the OS. I personally haven't been able to get it working on my other editing/design PC but it does still work elsewhere. You might need to run it out of a virtual machine running Windows 7 or something if problems persist. Seeing as how I don't have access to this game's compiler I can't exactly update it that easily.
