[WIP] 2600 Remakes Collection ~ ( open source )

[danjo]

What started off to be a challenge, turned into somewhat of a monster.
The challenge was: to Remake an A2600 Game, using 1 Frame as close as possible to the original A2600 game... & a few set of other rules as i started compiling them.
Some I finished quick, some stumped me, some took a while longer, and some are still going on... and on.

This will give you an idea of what it became...
Video * sorry for awful 360upload * but you'll get the idea of what it is.

It really was going to be a learning thing of all types of games, for people to look at.
The reason Im posting this, is I am asking if anyone is interested in submitting a game(s) for this:
I will supply you will a blank frame to work with that has the default starting code for you to go. * this is used to integrate into the whole selection idea.

In return, those who submit a game; will receive the whole open source file - with what i have so far.

The current list, can be interchanged i guess: I was selecting out ones that interested me or ones i thought i had a good idea on completing.
Some future additions to this, will be a help/info for each game, because they did tend to be simple, yet weird to play.

so far the list look like this:

{COMPLETED}
aqua adventure, bezerk, seaquest, space invaders, frogger, adventure, pitfall, ztack, tron deadly discs, galaxian, kaboom, breakout, barnstorming, golf, ms pacman, missile command, river raid, yars revenge, ET,

Hi!

I made a complete megamania engine (complete without sound), but with keyboard and touch support (for cell phones). It goes out of the standard imposed by you (it has 8 frames, each 1 a stage and game area outside 640x480, but totally possible to adjust).

Game has 8 phases and at the end, restart the first one in a bigger difficulty. All the graphics I designed in paint. Could I participate in this project with this engine?
I will publish it in html5 and post the link here:

Hi Danny I sent you an email close to a month ago with my brande new/self created/Debut/ Atari 2600 game mfa, but you haven´t responded yet, so I am writing here hoping you´ll see faster! and perhaps you might have missed my response!

So awesome. I see this is an old Post, but still. Amazing to say the Least!

i still work on them, and many more have been completed. i saw you post aloan, but you're mistaken in what i was asking.

i can hand out a frame project for those who wish to be involved.
im not asking for something that "could be" - thats not the challenge.

Cool, maybe I can make one or two to add to the collection.

One game I use to play as a kid was "ADVENTURE" for Atari.
