Default Homestar Runner RPG for Atari 2600/emulators


Click picture for more info

I know there are a bunch of HR fans on these boards, as well as RPG fans. Chances are there's some overlap between the two, so I figured there might be some interest in this:

Quote:
Coming in May for your Atari 2600: The first official Homestar Runner video game for a game console, RPG style.

By Mike and Matt Chapman and Paul Slocum.

Features:
- Play as Homestar, Homsar, or Strongsad
- Large world, comparable in size to early computer RPGs
- Ability to save your place in the game with a code system
- Large amount of in-game story text
- Turn-based gameplay
- Mini-games
- Magic, weapons, HP, all the goods.
- Fight enemies from other Atari 2600 games
- Will be released as a cartridge for the Atari 2600
- ROM will also be released for emulators
- Strongbad is not playable because he is the villain!
There's a demo right now that runs best on the Z26 emulator. It's a whopping 8K, so if you don't have broadband, be prepared for a wait.
