From the retro-cool files comes a brand new game that runs only on the 26-year-old Atari 2600 console. Homebrew developer Paul Slocum teamed with the creators of the cult webtoon Homestar Runner to convert lovably cantankerous chracters like Strong Bad into 8-bit form. Yes, the graphics are painfully blocky, but Slocum's ambitious role-playing game chokes more power out of the ancient system than anyone dreamed of back in the Carter era. Look for cameos by classic characters such as Pac-Man and the ghosts, the Berzerk robots, and the bat and dragon (or is it a duck?) from Adventure. Says Slocum, "If it's 8 pixels wide and a single color, it'll be in there." Dig that Atari box out of the closet and buy the $40 cartridge at http://www.homestarrunner.com - Chris Kohler
someone tell me, when the f*** did this happen?! I want it. Oh, this was also hand typed since it's copied out of my new issue of "Wired" I got when i finally got home. Any body's thoughts?
