Its a good looking game for the 2600 with a strong Mario Bros 1 feel . I watched the videos on youtube and i got hooked on it.  16 levels will lead you to the final boss. The cart and manual package ran me 30.00 but it looks to be a good quality. Did anyone else on here order this or seen any videos of this game?

I've watched a video of it, and it's pretty good for a 2600 title. I'm not a big Atari collector, so I won't buy it, but would be interested to hear thoughts once folks have played it.

Well Even though I don't collect for the 2600 I look for home brews that have good subject matter. Even though other good titles have come out including halo2600 this one screams a winner. Last time I was so excited for an Atari 2600 title it was pole position

I agree, some homebrews are great. I like Sinistar and Tempest for the 5200.

I definitely enjoy Halo 2600.  Very glad i picked it up, lots of fun.

I wish I had picked up Halo 2600 at CGE 2010 just so I could sell it now. The price of that thing has gotten pretty high.

I've learned my lesson though. By limited release carts at expos. Even if I'm not that into it.

It's an impressive job, and about as close as the 2600 could ever do to Super Mario Bros... but frankly, it doesn't look very fun. Just a pale shadow of what you COULD be playing.

There are much better homebrews out there for the 2600, like Qb and Thrust+... Yeah, they're both ports of games on other systems too, but they're much better suited to the 2600 than SMB. If you want an original homebrew experience, Toyshop Trouble was another that was extremely well done.
