"Taking only 4K of programming space, programmer Ed Fries has created a new title called Halo 2600 for the Atari VCS 2600 platform. The [Classic Halo] Homebrew title is perhaps best described as a cross between the Atari 2600 Adventure title and Berzerk.

Of course, as with any retro 2600, the blocky graphics and one note at a time sounds make the homage to Halo quite unique. The game itself was created by Ed Fries in just 4K of memory, and boy, does it do a lot in that 4K. The game has 64 screens and you get to locate a variety of power-ups while killing more difficult enemies.

The game was released in conjunction with the Classic Gaming Expo this past weekend; but the game is being made available for those that want to download it into their favorite 2600 emulator and have a look at this Homebrew program offering. " - Fudzilla

On a side note, I was unaware that my microphone was set as the default recording device, so, enjoy the commentary...?

  • apart from the fact that it only seems to be 3rd perspective in this version, it is definitely a very accurate port which looks pretty much indistinguishable from on xbox.. apart maybe that it seems to be some slight alternations to some of the sound effects.. but nothing major...

  • First Halo Game Ever Made

  • This is like an over glorified Bezerk,over rated! Look up Boulder Dash,the new cart of which there are only 250 made,a much better game.

  • Saw an ebay auction for this game they want $74. Love to have it, but not at that price.

  • Why is he killing squirrels and old ladies wearing sunglasses? :)

  • Anybody see that noscope?

  • Why are the Elites so weak here?

  • Best halo game evar!

  • Way better than the Xbox.

  • Ah my virgin ears. Someone needs their mouth washed with soap.
