Release date: 2005

The three cartridges on this page are Atari 2600 homebrews from 2005. Chris Walton’s Hunchy II is a platform game in which Quasimodo works his way through Notre Dame to rescue Esmeralda, based on the 1982 arcade game Hunchback. Aaron Curtis’s Fall Down is a head-to-head race down a stack of rising platforms, with a capable computer opponent if you play alone. Both were sold through AtariAge. The 2005 Minigame Multicart collects seven small games from that year’s Minigame Competition, where each entry had to fit into just 1K of code.
