This page is not a company. It groups Atari 2600 homebrew games that their programmers released themselves, long after the console’s commercial years. The site has four of them:
Vault Assault (2001): Brian Prescott’s take on the arcade game Space Zap, first sold at the Classic Gaming Expo.
Pressure Gauge (around 2000): John K. Harvey’s one-button timing test, written as a college exercise.
Vong (2008): Rick Skrbina’s Pong turned 90 degrees, with the paddles at the top and bottom.
Bell Hopper (2011): Tomas Härdin’s version of the Flash game Winterbells, made for the Assembly demoparty.

Vong is a 2008 Atari 2600 homebrew by Rick Skrbina. It plays like Pong, but the court is turned 90 degrees, so the paddles sit at the top and bottom of the screen and the ball travels up and down. It is a simple, quick paddle game for one player against the computer or two players against each other. You can play it here in your browser.
Vault Assault is a homebrew Atari 2600 game written by Brian Prescott and released on cartridge in 2001. It is based on Space Zap, a 1980 arcade game licensed to Midway: you sit in a vault in the middle of the screen and fight off enemy ships attacking from all four sides. It starts slowly and becomes very fast, so a game rarely lasts more than a few minutes: a quick test of your reflexes. You can play it here in your browser.
Pressure Gauge is a homebrew Atari 2600 game written by John K. Harvey as a college exercise. It is a pure timing test with a single control: press the button at exactly the right moment. The idea came from a mini-game in the PlayStation title Brave Fencer Musashi. The graphics are just a few coloured bars, but it is the kind of game where you keep pressing Reset for one more try. You can play it here in your browser.
Bell Hopper is a homebrew Atari 2600 game by Tomas “Tjoppen” Härdin, released at the Assembly Summer 2011 demoparty, where it placed fifth in the game development competition. It is a “demake” of Ferry Halim’s Flash game Winterbells: a rabbit jumps higher and higher into a starry night sky by bouncing off floating bells. You can play it here in your browser.
