Sneak Around And Find Out. Haunted House Is Available Now!
A reimagining of the classic Atari adventure! Players take control of Lyn Graves, the precocious niece of legendary treasure hunter Zachary Graves. Lyn visits her uncle’s mansion with her closest compatriots, only to find the house overrun with ghouls and monsters who quickly grab and spirit away her friends. In order to free her uncle and her friends, and capture all the supernatural foes, Lyn must find the shattered pieces of a magical urn and put them back together.
Through procedurally generated room layouts, shifting walls, unpredictable enemy placements, and unique ghostly encounters, Lyn must creep, sneak, and dash her way through hordes of ghouls and eerie ectoplasms in order to locate her friends and uncle. Each urn shard is fiercely guarded by a bone-chilling boss — with 3D isometric stealth gameplay, Lyn must think on her feet to conquer each challenge. When she gets knocked out by a shadowy specter, she winds up back at the Haunted House’s entrance and must face an entirely new floor layout and enemy placement, ensuring each run is unique.
Originally created in 2021 as a homebrew Atari 2600 game, Mr. Run and Jump is ready to leap onto the scene with precise gameplay and an addicting challenge through the Realms of Color. Can you run and jump your way through these worlds to defeat the Void and save Leap the Dog? Mr. Run and Jump from Atari and Graphite Lab is Out Now!

Caverns of Mars: Recharged Is Available Now!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsnL1TTz9ok
In Caverns of Mars: Recharged you descend into tunnels beneath the surface of Mars in a mad dash to destroy the reactor and furthest depths of the enemy’s base. Dodge debris, clear out obstacles, and blast enemies, all while conserving ammunition as you descend at high speed into enemy territory. Your ammo is limited and enemies are plentiful, so make every shot count.
The original Caverns of Mars was a hit that came out of nowhere. In an era of side-scrollers a high school senior named Greg Christensen developed a game where players descended vertically. The few vertical scrolling games that existed were largely skiing and driving games, but Christsensen made a space game, set in the tunnels of Mars. He submitted it to APX, Atari’s mail order software catalog. The day his project arrived in Sunnyvale it was recognized for its quality, and it became the very first APX submission to be released as an Atari game, and one of only a handful to ever make that leap.
Go solo or grab a friend and blast your way to the center of the red planet!
Hello Atari Maniacs, we just released a Patch for Atari Mania addressing a number of gameplay issues and player requests.
Most importantly, this update implements analog controls for all microgames, which should make for a much more precise and satisfying play experience. Our original decision to make our controls “digital” worked well for certain microgames, but overall made for less precise controls that caused some frustration for players - especially with games that initially had analog controls, like Pong. We’re happy with the result of the control change, and hope you are too!
Silky Smooth
We’ve also made a number of gameplay modifications based on player feedback, improved performance and framerate, and updated the descriptions of a number of microgames to make their objectives clearer.
Lastly, we are adding Steam Trading Cards! There are 6 in total to collect, along with badges, emoticons, and profile backgrounds!
Read on for our full patch notes, and thank you for playing Atari Mania.
