Space Treat is my first homebrew Atari 2600 game, originally released at the Classic Gaming Expo 2002. You can order it in its new and improved "Deluxe" incarnation from AtariAge.

Frankenstein's Monster NTSC->PAL conversion and Bugfix
I quite like this game, but playing it on a PAL machine is pretty hard since it used to render an incorrect number of scanlines in the NTSC version, which is now fixed. The .zip file contains several binaries for NTSC Fixed/PAL50/PAL60.
This is the first conversion of a bankswitched game I've done all by myself :) Once again, besides the NTSC to PAL conversion, I've included several other options:
- Static and Solid playfield modes - No disturbing color cycling/flashing
The .zip file contains several versions of the PAL and NTSC compiles with the above changes.
This is a joint effort of Manuel Polik and myself. We started with the idea of another NTSC->PAL conversion but finished with evolving/improving several aspects of the game:
- Linecount bugfix - Intro logo bugfix - Intro glitch bugfix - Boring color cycling switched off - Improved logo graphics
The .zip file contains several versions of the PAL and NTSC compiles with the above changes.
The game has now (mostly) correct colors on PAL Atari 2600's. The framerate is left untouched (60hz). This preserves the original speed but could be incompatible with some older PAL tv sets.
Here I also had to correct the number of scanlines since it was originally rendering a wrong amount which prevented it to display correct colors on an actual PAL 2600.

BetterBlast is a Hack of Astro Blast (NTSC) that keeps the background screen black through all the game, instead of changing to some psychedelic colors. Should save some retinas.
