A/W/A 14-Game Compilation for Atari 5200: Modern Homebrew Revival of 1980s Classics

The A/W/A 14-game compilation for the Atari 5200 SuperSystem is a modern homebrew release created by Eric Anschuetz, John Weisgerber, and Robert Anschuetz—developers whose initials form the title of the collection.

Originally conceived in the 1980s on an Atari 400 computer, the games were first written in Atari BASIC. Decades later, the creators revisited their early work and completely re-engineered the titles in Assembly Language to bring them to the Atari 5200 with smoother performance, updated gameplay, and enhanced presentation.

Professionally manufactured and sold through the AtariAge store, this compilation spans multiple genres including action, puzzles, strategy, and shoot ’em ups. Each game has been faithfully adapted from its original 8-bit computer concept while benefiting from the power and capabilities of the 5200 hardware. The collection represents both a historical snapshot of early hobbyist development and a modernized gaming experience tailored to retro enthusiasts.

The compilation includes the following 14 updated titles:

Alien Assault – Battle alien threats in a fast-paced action environment.

Kooky Diver – Navigate underwater hazards in a skill-based challenge.

Kooky Klimber – Climb towering skyscrapers while avoiding windows, debris, and falling objects.

Kooky’s Quest – Explore a monster-filled dungeon in search of treasure and escape routes.

Night Rescue – Pilot a hot air balloon to save civilians before they are captured.

Overflow – Solve pipe-based puzzles as you manage rising water levels with quick reflexes.

Piracy – Gather treasure at sea while managing fuel and avoiding ship damage.

Piracy II – Venture across ocean maps, defeat guarding ships, and avoid pirate ambushes.

Ramses' Revenge – Race to the top of a pyramid in this competitive or solo challenge.

Raptor Attack – Defend against mechanical birds raining laser fire from above.

Robot Dungeon – Navigate a maze of deadly robots, electric walls, and teleport traps.

Soko-Ban – Push blocks into targeted areas in this classic logic-based puzzle game.

Space Assailants – Shoot descending invaders while navigating a moving starfield.

Yatzy – A dice-based strategy game requiring thoughtful re-roll decisions.

This ambitious project pays tribute to the creativity of early home computer developers while bringing their original concepts into a fully modernized 5200 format. For collectors and retro gaming fans, the A/W/A compilation offers a rare blend of authenticity, variety, and historical significance across fourteen thoughtfully recreated games.
