Development for a simple point and shoot game called "Night Shot" for the Atari 2600 has started. This will be a simple 4K game with 1-2 players.
Below is some captured gameplay of the laser

@MarcLawler2162 Hey Marc, great question. For now we are looking into creating a classic 4k Atari 2600 game with support for the original controller -- that means no additional cartridge hardware. That said the game should be compatible with both the original and the new 2600+

[Monsoon Studios @MonsoonStu]

Starting work for a new game on the Atari 2600!
This system has a lot of limitations and a lot of history -- should be fun. Stay tuned for more updates from us!

@matthughson Sales are good for North America -- other markets will be available eventually!

[Monsoon Studios @MonsoonStu]

@matthughson Wrapping is slightly different and the PCB assembly that was used has been improved (we went with a different assembly company). Other errors discovered during the KS campaign have also been corrected.

@ShiningBZH ...receive your product at a later date if you wait until the kickstarter is over -- sorry for the inconvenience.

@ShiningBZH We are not partnered with any foreign distribution center - however, we have done some negotiating and have lowered our shipping prices. If our campaign is successful we will work with other distribution centers to sell games at cheaper rates after the kickstarter and you will...

@YAN_COOL_MAG For us, CRT TVs will always have a special place in our hearts!

[Monsoon Studios @MonsoonStu]

Visuals are an important part of any game. When playing your games which do you prefer -- modern flat screen TVs or vintage CRT TVs?

Also, for those wondering, this graphic was recorded on a VHS tape. #VHS #VideoEditing #80s
