Homebrew games and tech demos for the Atari 7800, running on real hardware. Download the .a78 files to play on a flash cart (e.g. 7800 GameDrive) or in an emulator (A7800/MAME). Every ROM is signed, so it also boots on a stock NTSC console from a real cartridge.
Everything here is experimental: every game, demo and download is a work in progress, still in development and testing, so expect rough edges and bugs. Sound warning: most of these play their music on the 7800's own TIA sound chip, which can be harsh on the ears, so you may want to turn the volume down or mute it. Games marked "POKEY" in their cartridge line sound much smoother on a cart with a POKEY chip.
