Developer: John W. Champeau

John W. Champeau runs Champ Games, a homebrew label for the Atari 2600. In 2006 he released Lady Bug, a version of Universal’s 1981 arcade maze game written from scratch and sold through the AtariAge Store. A 2600 version had appeared in a 1982 Coleco catalogue but never came out, so his cartridge filled a gap of more than twenty years. The site has two builds:

Lady Bug, the NTSC version
Lady Bug (PAL60), for European televisions
