Finally after all these years, a sequel to Adventure!

I’m a big big fan of the video game retro homebrew scene. There’s just something awesome about writing code for a game system 25-30 years old.

Fans of the old school games probably have great memories of Adventure for the Atari 2600. Being chased around by a dragon that looked like a duck trying to find weapons and keys. Sounds silly but the game sold over a million copies when it was released in the early 80′s and has achieved true classic status. But sadly we’ve never gotten a sequel. Well the good people at AtariAge.com have been working to fix that.

It’s been a few years in the making, but Adventure II for the Atari 5200 is now complete and shipping! They’ve also got a limited edition (doesn’t everyone these days) that includes all kinds of goodies. You’ll get a box modeled after Atari games of the time with original artwork, full color-manual, maps and more. 

I’ve already ordered mine, and I’ll now have to dig my Atari 5200 out of storage, but I can’t wait to try this game out. My favorite part? You still play as a little square and an arrow, just like the original game.

You’ve heard the stories from long ago.

Stories of an adventurer, who braved dragons and dangerous mazes to return the Chalice from the forces of evil. At night, you’ve dreamt of such adventure. Often the dreams occur in the Ice Kingdom’s abandoned, frozen landscapes to the north; other times, you find yourself hopelessly lost in the Green Kingdom’s hedge mazes; sometimes the dreaming takes place in the frightening endless forests, which surround the Dark Kingdom.

And now, the Chalice is missing again. Your weapons and keys, gone from the safety of the Seashore Castle. Peasants cry out in fear with tales of fantastic and dangerous creatures roaming the countryside. Evil has once again stolen the Chalice and hidden it! Return this sacred Chalice to the safety of the Seashore Kingdom’s Castle!
