Introduction

Some of you may be wondering why I wrote this, afterall, the games for these consoles were ancient, how could they be any good?

Well, it may sound a little strange, but some of these Ancient games are amongst the most fun to play, since on machines as old as these, Graphics couldn't be good - so gameplay was what sold the games. Hence, there are a lot of very good fun games around. V2600 lets you play these at full speed on a strongARM equipped RISC PC, including correct colour and sound!

The port

V2600-ARM is a port by me, of the superb V2600, which was written by Alex Hornby. This emulator was originally written for Un*x boxes, and has since been ported to just about every platform.

I'm putting a copy of circus atari here as well, because its massive fun, yeah!

To play ROMs from the net, you may have to set the filetype to &0D8 and the extension to /bin before you try to load them.
