Updates -
04/20/02 - I recommend anyone that is interested in getting Atari 2600 4K games
created to Contact Us. Or if you have any other needs such
as assembly, labels, or any custom job for your games as well.
The prices reflected in the "Project Estimator" are not necessary our prices.
We have made much lower prices to game authors to help get the "ball rolling".
01/18/02 - We are now officially open for business, and are accepting orders!
Use our Project Estimator for prices, and to place orders.
Currently we can only publish 4K games. Hopefully soon we can offer all sizes, or
various other sizes.
We are just starting out and things may be a little rough at first, typical of all new
businesses. I hope that everything will run smooth, and what doesn't will be fixed
immediately.
We hope to become an option, or your only option for your game publishing needs-- And a
asset to the Atari Community.
We just hope the Atari Community is open for new businesses and competition. All we ask
is that you let our services speak for themselves.
We have many new ideas to help expand the Atari Community, and bring back the love for
the Atari many people have lost of the years-- As well as to new generations of gamers.
12/31/01 - I have now made my Atari 2600 15-Pin Controllers and Controller ports
modification instructions available, Online and Downloadable.

Game Publishing is still waiting for everyone to return as mentioned in the message
below. Everyone have a Happy New Year!
Who are we -
We are fellow Atarians that have joined together to offer services for Atari 2600 game
authors and game buyers that are not available anywhere else, or to the degree we do it.
Currently there are a total 11 Atarians that make up the Team.
Of course me, "Junie" - Tom Cosby JR. and my loving wife and assistant
Melinda Cosby.
There are our 6 image Designers, find out about them on the Image
Designers page.
Then there is Chuck Gill, our consultant and EPROM programmer :-)
Our supplier of newly designed PCB's, and EPROM programmer.
Last but not least our plastic tech, Cassidy. Who will be the creator of brand new
Atari 2600 game cases, once we get the molds to do it.
What we do -
We are a complete Atari 2600 Video Game Publisher. Our services are available to any
Atari 2600 game programmer wanting to get finished products of their game, or anyone
looking to get a game they do not have.
If you are a game programmer, Homebrewer, You can choose to use our complete services
or as many services as you want, you decide. For example if you only want PCB's you can
order just PCB's.
We provide services for original Atari 2600 games, "Homebrewed" games we have
been given permission to create, and "Homebrewed" games you are the author of.
Homebrewed games will only be available if the author has given us permission to create
their games. If a Homebrewed game is abandoned by the game author or the game author is
unreachable, we will create the game. Many attempts will be made to contact the game
author before we will create the game.
We turn a new Atari 2600 game into a completed product that is commercially made. The
end result is a professional product that is fit for store shelves.
Everything is done by our Team of fellow Atarians, and local businesses when needed
here in the USA.
Completed Game Service includes --
- Programming/Burning the EPROM with the new game that you provide
- Soldering the EPROM to a brand new custom commercially made PC Board (PCB) with any
necessary components
- Inserting the PCB into a empty game case
- Putting on the new commercially printed/cut labels onto the case
- Testing the completed game
- Putting the completed case and commercially printed/cut/stapled game manual..
- Into a commercially produced and printed box.
- The box is then shrink wrapped and shipped to you or sold by various methods by us. The
choice is yours.
