Release 1.1 for DOS, Linux, and Unix
|
|
===============================================================================
|
|
|
|
The Atari 2600 Video Computer System (VCS), introduced in 1977, was the most
|
|
popular home video game system of the early 1980's. Now you can enjoy all of
|
|
your favorite Atari 2600 games on your PC thanks to Stella!
|
|
|
|
Stella is a multi-platform Atari 2600 VCS emulator written in C++. Stella
|
|
allows you to play most of the games written for the Atari 2600 including
|
|
Supercharger games.
|
|
|
|
This is the 1.1 release of Stella for DOS, Linux, and Unix. Distributions
|
|
for other operating systems will appear as they become available. The three
|
|
distributions currently available are:
|
|
|
|
* Binary distribution for Linux (stella-1.1-linux-x86.tar.gz)
|
|
|
|
* Binary distribution for DOS (st11.zip)
|
|
|
|
* Source code distribution for Unix and DOS (stella-1.1-src.tar.gz)
|
|
|
|
A few 2600 ROM images, BIN files, are included with these distributions.
|
|
BEYOND THESE FILES NONE OF THE DISTRIBUTIONS CONTAIN ANY 2600 ROM IMAGES.
|
|
PLEASE DON'T WRITE ASKING FOR ROMS BECAUSE THEY ARE COPYRIGHTED! If you
|
|
own any of the Atari 2600 Action Packs by Activision you can use the ROM
|
|
images from them with Stella.
