RED VAN

📜A violent jolt over a sudden pothole and disaster strikes: the rear doors fly open, scattering a precious cargo of sapphires across the asphalt. To make matters worse, a rival van appears in the rearview mirrors, ready to ram into you and steal the loot. Flooring the accelerator is the only option: dodge the potholes, evade enemy attacks, and recover every last sapphire before it's too late!

💾 The download includes the game ROM, PDF manual, and BEZEL for the Stella emulator. The demo  is available for download or to play in browser.

💻Recover the sapphires that fell from the red van. Avoid falling into the holes and colliding with the opponent van. The enemy van wants to attack you. You can destroy it by dropping it into a hole or hitting it with a missile. Don't hit the sapphires with a missile. You lose energy if: you collide with the opponent's van, fall into a hole, hit a sapphire with a missile, or if you retreat to the edge of the playing field. 10 POINTS for each sapphire recovered, 10 POINTS for each opponent van hit, 15 POINTS for knocking an opponent van into a hole.

🏆 I make games exclusively for the Atari 2600 and would like to get into the Guinness Book of Records as the single person to have made the most games for a single console.  That's why I've set myself the goal of making at least 180.

🎮 The games I released last year (over 40) will be free to download forever, but to fund this endeavor, the ones released in 2026 will be available for the ridiculous price of $2 (not exactly everyone 😉). If you'd like to help, I'd be grateful.

👍🏻 You'll also find new releases on   Mastodon, Bluesky,  X ,   Facebook  and YouYube where you'd be welcome to leave a like.

🔨 I can make custom games for free for anyone who requests them (as long as they're within my capabilities). Email me at the address below.
