Retro Game Publisher Audacity Games� announces its flagship products

Game industry legends collaborate on two innovative new games

 

Danville, CA: Audacity Games�, a video game publisher focused on designing and publishing boxed game products for a variety of retro game systems, unveils its flagship games for play on the Atari 2600 Video Computer System.

 

The brand new, never before released game CIRCUS CONVOY�, designed for the Atari 2600 by David Crane and Garry Kitchen, is a multi-screen action adventure where gamers play as "Andre the Magnificent", a circus strongman tasked with finding a saboteur among the speeding convoy trucks and sideshow trailers of a traveling Big-Top circus.  The game features a variety of nostalgic mini-games, numerous circus props and dozens of adventure-style puzzles to solve.  Designed with innovative state-of-the-art graphics, CIRCUS CONVOY� will be available on the Audacity Games Web Portal on Saturday, March 13th and at select retro video game stores this quarter. 

 

�While Garry and I were among the forerunners in the video game industry, and developed software techniques that advanced the state of the art in the 1980s, we did not stop there.� Audacity Games co-founder David Crane said, "With CIRCUS CONVOY� we have expanded our methods to include things never seen in a game for the Atari� game console.� Co-founder Garry Kitchen added, "We always enjoyed the challenge of squeezing the most game play out of the limited Atari� hardware.  We did it again with CIRCUS CONVOY� using only hardware available at the time of PITFALL!� and KEYSTONE KAPERS�.�

 

Audacity's second game, CASEY�S GOLD�, designed for the Atari 2600 by Dan Kitchen, is scheduled for release in summer 2021.  Kitchen's game, originally announced in 2018 as GOLD RUSH, features a train conductor named Casey O'Kelly who must search for lost gold bars aboard a runaway western-style steam train.  The game features dozens of unique train cars, numerous animated obstacles and over 50 levels of game play.  When asked about the game, Kitchen said, "CASEY�S GOLD� originally began in the 1980s as a spiritual successor to Garry Kitchen�s KEYSTONE KAPERS�, but has made giant leaps from my original plans.�
