Developer: Thomas Jentzsch

Thomas Jentzsch is a programmer from the Atari 2600 homebrew scene, writing new games for the console decades after its commercial life ended. The site has two of his conversions of 1980s computer games. Thrust, released on cartridge by XYPE in 2000, brings Jeremy C. Smith’s gravity game to the 2600: you tow a heavy pod out of underground caverns. Boulder Dash, made with Andrew Davie over almost ten years and sold by AtariAge in 2011, is a faithful version of First Star Software’s digging puzzle.
