 Every Atari 2600 fan is familiar with Combat, given it was the game included with the 2600 for many years. To add new life to Combat, Zach Matley has developed a version that supports 28 unique playfields, dubbed Combat Redux. To help create new playfields for this expanded version of Combat, AtariAge and Zach have teamed up to host a Combat Redux Design Contest. Zach has created a Windows editor that will allow you to generate new Combat playfields and test them in your favorite Atari 2600 emulator. We will choose 28 designs from all those submitted, and then create a binary that includes all the winning entries. Each person with one or more entries selected will receive a $5 gift certificate in the AtariAge Store, as well as credit in the Combat Redux manual. Additionally, three winners will be selected randomly to receive a free Combat Redux cartridge. For complete details, please visit the Combat Redux Design Contest page.

 Atari 2600 programmer Manuel Rotschkar (Gunfight, Star Fire) is hard at work on his latest Atari 2600 title, Seawolf. This game is influenced and inspired by the Midway Sea Wolf and Sea Wolf II arcade games as well as the Astrocade and 8-bit home versions, but is not a direct port. Seawolf also borrows elements from Broderbund's Seafox. Manuel has released an early tech demo of the game to whet your appetite, which you can download from our Seawolf In Development page. You can discuss the game in our Homebrew Development Forum with Manuel and other AtariAge users.

The ROM image available for download can be used with an Alpine or Flashcart. You can discuss this alpha of Alien vs. Predator with other Jaguar fans in our Jaguar Forum.
