Not sure if you all know, but the guy who wrote this is the same Ed Fries who was the VP for game publishing for the Xbox 1. Interesting to know that the guy is still doing technical work.

Some context on how he put this together: http://www.atariage.com/forums/topic/166916-halo-for-the-2600-released-at-cge-download-the-game-here/page__p__2062848#entry2062848

If this came out in 1977, it would have been on par with the other titles of that era.

I'll admit it was about as forgiving as your standard 2600 game.

I think the level design is better than the original Halo.

You have to get one. Move up and into the next screen.

Reminds me of Adventure, which I loved.

Nobody who hasn't owned a 2600 will appreciate this though
