[align=center:4k7x5pxi][size=140]Here is a new homebrew for the Atari 2600 from AA member atari2600land, Captain Bruce In the Year 2601!  This is actually a port of an Odyssey 1 game!   

It is the year 2601 and aliens are threatening Australia! It is up to you, Captain Bruce, to stop them with your infinite supply of boomerangs. (The President of Australia assures you you'll have enough if it means you'll stop them.) So how do you stop them with a boomerang? Well, first you get in your spaceship and press fire when you're ready to play. Your spaceship is a white box. You are on the left side of the screen and the aliens come in on the right. Your job is to throw the boomerang and hit the alien. You can steer the boomerang using up and down, but only when it's going towards the alien. If it's coming back towards you, your job is to dodge it since one hit of a boomerang will down your ship and the game will end. Yes, your own boomerang can kill you too! But your job is to kill the alien onslaught. But you'd better be quick. Because if you go 10 seconds without hitting an alien, the game ends![/size]
