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.
