Alice in Wonderland for the 2600

[SlithyMatt]

One of my newest projects is a homebrew game for the Atari 2600: Alice in Wonderland.

If anything makes you appreciate the power and speed of the X16, it's 2600 development!

I have a new demo video of the game on YouTube: 

This game will be free and open source and you can check it out on GitHub right now:

Very cool. I don't have a working 2600, but I'll try it emulated ?

 

Just as a production note, your microphone is clipping. Maybe a little further away from your mouth.

Yeah, it's the built-in mic of my laptop, and it was not behaving nicely when I recorded. I just need to re-adjust the gain, but I didn't want to shoot this one a second time!

Very cool! You know I loved this game and bought it for the C64 when I was about 12.

Interesting to follow. There is something special about limited resources. Despite the simplicity - when Alice reaches the bottom of the hole  I find myself immediately wondering about what will come next :  ).

New video, now with music and sound effects:

 

As you can see, the 2600 sound is not the greatest to work with, especially when it comes to music. Really makes one appreciate all the options on the X16.
