Star Castle
This is a rare game I picked up during a KickStarter campaign in May of 2012. This is a brand new game for the 2600. It is designed by D. Scott Williamson who was a young Atari programmer back in the 1980s. This game was supposed to have been done by Howard Scott Warshaw back then. Due to the difficultly in getting the game to work properly they instead opted to make the game Yars Revenge. Yars had similar game play, but instead of having the castle in the center of the screen surrounded by circular shielding, it was placed on the right edge of the screen.
My Star Castle cart is autographed and serial numbered. My serial number is 22.
Other Interesting Facts:
* Star Castle is a port of a vector based arcade game.
* The cart has LEDs that blink when the castle is destroyed.
* My name is listed as a contributor in the manual of the game!
