If you were disappointed when you saw Zaxxon ported to the Atari 2600, you're in for a surprise with Space Raid.  Written by Oscar Toledo, Space Raid is an isometric shooter for the 2600 that tries to see just what the 2600 can do when it comes to isometric shooters.  You can read about development of the game on his blog:  Space Raid: isometric game for Atari VCS/2600.  Check out this video of the game in action...

A zip file containing instructions as well as binaries for NTSC and PAL systems is attached below.  The latest version can always be found on Oscar's blog as well as the thread for the game he started at Atari Age (Space Raid 2600).

For the record, Alien verses Predator on the Atari Jaguar holds a Guinness World Record!

To remove any awkwardness, I have mesothelioma. I don’t seek sympathy, just acceptance. Thanks

Surprisingly, I must be one of the few who actually liked Zaxxon on VCS.

On topic, that is a nice looking game. Would certainly be nice to be able to get it on cartridge format.

An Intellivision version is also in the works and should be released by them as well.  :)
