Atari VCS (2600) Graphics Editor
DESCRIPTION:
Update 4/14/2015This version of the project was never fully realized. I have a much better tools and GUI that was never uploaded to SourceForge that I developed before I started down this road. I'm currently trying to track down the code. I recently logged in for a completely different reason only to notice that this software keeps getting downloaded... and there are probably lots of disappointed folks out there once they try to run it. Sorry about that.
Anyway, long story short... I'm looking for the real code that's actually usable. Check the Atari Age forums. Once I find it, I'll post a message about it there.
