Halo 2600


The Halo franchise is one that appeals to all generations of gamers, but for those of you who've been gaming as long as I have, have you ever wondered what Halo would have been like on the Atari 2600? Well now you can find out with Halo 2600!

Available to play for free, Ed Fries, former vice president of game publishing for Microsoft, crafted this novelty over the last few years and has posted it for all to enjoy.

Use your keyboard's directional arrows to move the Spartan around, and press "Space" to fire, but you need to find a weapon first! Just touch an item to pick it up, such as your Pistol, the key (unlocks the energy field blocking the exit), and Shields (allows you to take an extra hit, doesn't appear to stack).

You can jump right into the game here. Prepare to spend a few hours in retro-goodness!
