Defend your Castle
My first game written for the Atari 2600/VCS.
The game is free to use for personal usage.
(Released 24-december-2016)

"Battle for the Kingdom"
(funny and fast 2 player game)

 
(Box, featuring "Castle Liverpool" )                                                                                              (Screenshot)                                                    

You are operating the catapult, defender of your castle.
Your goal is to destroy the opponents’ castle before he destroys yours.....

Defend your Castle, standard version
Defend your Castle, NTSC with PAL-colors
Box, manual and labels, with nice 1970's artwork.
Featuring "Castle Liverpool" on the box.

 The box can be printed out by yourself at any copyshop (it's included in the zip file) or ordered from Marc Oberhausen.
Marc makes quality boxes and reproductions for Atari-Age and others.
The immortal John  Hancock did a very nice review of my game :-)
 Affordable Homebrew: Defend Your Castle 2600

Numbered game PCB and 2 stickers: SOLD-OUT !

 There will be unlimited production, bought from me in person.
At a budget price of 12 Euro..
"Numbered game PCB and 2 stickers"

(You need a ATARI text/picture/silver/red-label cartridge, so NO 3rd party cartridges).
You end up with something like this:

-yeah-

This is what you get:
-PCB fits perfectly in an Atari-made cartridge.

 -2 labels, top and front, printed on quality sticker-paper.


NO cartridge
(use one of your spare/doubles/defective).
NO box, NO printed manual.
(You have to print, cut and fold it yourself, it's included in the download above.)


The STANDARD game can be used on PAL and NTSC systems.
PAL systems select COLOR-mode, while NTSC systems select BW-mode.
Supporting PAL and NTSC frame-rates, results in some color difference between both systems.


Standard game on PAL system


Standard game on NTSC system

 

For those NTSC users who like the PAL- colors better, there is a hacked NTSC-only version.
