AARON THE AANT for the Odyssey2



Hi! I'm Aaron. I'm an aant.
No, not an ant, but an aAnt -
that’s with two “A’s.”
Aand you gotta help me...
You see, I'm aawfully hungry, 
and I'm in my aanthill here. 
Some really aawesome aapples 
keep popping up in my aanthill...
This is really nice for me, 
since I love to eat aapples.
So what's the problem? 
Aadolf, a mean, evil aardvark,
is hungry as well, it aappears...
Why not feed him some aapples? 
He doesn't like them - Why? 
Aadolf would rather feast on delicious aants! 
Wait a second - I'm an aant!
He'll eat me! He'll take his tongue and burrow it in the
hole and eat me! I know, it's not very nice for him to do
this, but it is nature's way... Too bad for me!
Can you help me get my fill of aapples while I aavoid
Aadolf the aardvark's tongue?
How many aapples can
I eat before I become Aadolf the aardvark’s dinner?

FATSO! for the Odyssey2



Eat all the cookies! Eat all the pretzels! Eat all you can and you'll be fine. 
Sounds easy, right? You must avoid eating the pink pickles. 
Avoid them because they're deadly! 
The object of FATSO! is to eat all of the foods without eating a pink pickle...
Eat a pink pickle and the game is over!
How many calories can you amass?

2600 Connection is proud to offer the Odyssey2/Videopac game from Chris Read - FATSO!  Previously known for his Atari VCS/2600 games (Gosub, Alien Greed, Stacker, Zyx), FATSO! is Chris' first game for the Odyssey2, inspired by the Telesys Atari VCS/2600 game Fast Food.

A limited run of 30 boxed copies of FATSO! were first produced and sold by Marc Verraes (www.videopac.fr) in May 2012.  After those sold, a second edition of 26 more were sold (each cartridge denoted with a letter of A through Z). Fast forward to 2014. When Marc asked 2600 Connection about releasing another run of WILDLIFE!, we worked out a deal so we could release an unlimited, unnumbered version of FATSO!

Now we are happy to allow gamers who missed out on this game to purchase one.  It's the same game and manual, except it does not have a serial number. The label has a little different style and the manual has some additional text. We call this the unlimited release of FATSO!  So what are you waiting for?  Put on your "eating pants" and get yours today!


In FATSO!, you move the blue mouth around with the joystick.
Food appears from the left and moves towards the right.
In the screen above, a deadly pink pickle has just been avoided.

NOW AVAILABLE!




It's almost Christmas... it will be here before you know it! However...
Do you know about the mischief that's going on up at the North Pole?


Oh no! Eli the Elf has freed Santa's reindeer and now they have flown to the other side of Santa's magic pool.

What's worse is that Santa doesn't even know how to swim!  Lucky for him, there are floating chunks of ice that Santa can use to cross the pool and rescue the reindeer back to safety.  But that evil Eli the Elf will try to stop Santa because he hates Christmas!  How many reindeer can you help Santa save?

NICE ICE was programmed by Chris Read.  Scott Stilphen is handling the production of cartridges and Tim Duarte is handling production of the manuals and labels.  A limited run of 100 serial-numbered cartridges of NICE ICE! will be produced that are compatible with both NTSC and PAL systems.  Each game will include a professional-styled color manual. 
Artwork for the box, manual cover and cartridge label was created and designed by Timothy Cotter.

DEATH RACE for the Odyssey2 / Videopac



It's fascinating!  It's fun chasing monsters!


DEATH RACE pits the player against an intelligent acting, evasive, running Gremlin. Unlike most "player versus machine" games, the "machine" in this case does not simply repeat an action or sequence, but actually "sees", "thinks", and "acts" as intelligently (and even more rapidly) than would another player. The result of this is that each game is a new and different experience.

The object of the game is simple. Hit a Gremlin and you win a point. There are two Gremlins running around the playing field in a random fashion. They are intelligent robots in every sense and will avoid all objects so long as they can see a way to escape. You drive one of two cars which are completely under your control. You can steer them anywhere in any direction within the playing field; move forward in low or high gear; and move in reverse when necessary. You can drive as fast, but no faster than the Gremlins can run.

When you hit a Gremlin, a tombstone (cross) will appear and remain in that same spot until the game is over and a new game begun. Whenever you hit a Gremlin on the playing field, the cross will remain. Thus, each game creates its own totally random and different maze of crosses that each player must steer through while chasing the Gremlins. The more hits, the more crosses; the more crosses, the harder the steering becomes. Thus, it becomes increasingly difficult to maneuver as your skill increases.

Death Race is a 4K game for 1 or 2 players, and was programmed by Ivan Machado - his first Odyssey 2 game!  Ivan also recreated the original artwork that was done by Pat Peak for the Exidy coin-op version.  Scott Stilphen handled the production of carts and Tim Duarte handled production of the manuals and boxes. All three gentlemen worked together on the manual.

A limited run of 100 boxed copies of DEATH RACE were produced that are compatible with NTSC systems.  Each game includes a professional-styled manual. These 100 boxed copies of the game quickly sold out.

We are happy to release the "unlimited edition" of DEATH RACE. It does not have a serial number.





The game is for 1 or 2 players.



As more crosses fill the screen, the harder it becomes to drive around.



VHS-style storage box with color printed insert, color manual, and game cartridge



Please note:  the crosses aren't appearing correctly in this youtube video, but that's due
to how the video was made, and not a glitch in the game itself.
