AA member hloberg has released a new game for the Atari 2600 called Parsec 2600.  This game is a shooter that was originally released for the TI 99 4/A and which hloberg has adapted to the 2600.  The game is freely available for download (link at the bottom of the thread) and is not to be sold.

Game Instructions:

- 1st wave has the Swoopers. Keep an eye on the timer on right and clear level before time's up.  At higher levels you must hit the enemies up to 3 times to destroy them.

-  Next wave has the Beamer, an enemy that will take shots at you. Keep you eye on the timer on right.  At higher levels you must hit the enemies up to 3 times to destroy them.

- Next wave is the Refueling Tunnel. There is no shooting in here. Just make it through to end without hitting the tunnel walls. At higher levels tunnel gets longer.

- Next wave has the backwards Swoopers. They are just like the Swoopers except they come from behind you.

- Next is the Invisible Beamer which does take shots at you. Starting at level 2 the ship goes invisible. At higher levels you must hit the enemies up to 3 times to destroy them.
