New Game for the Atari 2600!?

30 years after the system was released people are still making games for the system!? Crazy. I have wondered what could be made with modern chip capacities and such being manufactured to run on old systems like this. Could graphics and logic be improved or games be made longer and/or faster? I don't know if this does but the screen shots don't look like it.

Anyway, this guy made a game and not only is in ROM image form to run on an emulator but he also has manufactured actual cartridges! I still have my old 2600 stored at my parents and I'm tempted to order one of these. Apparently you get multiple versions of the cartridge, a CD of the soundtrack and other stuff. It's kind of like those limited edition collector's item packs of Japanese PlayStation 2 games and US PC games. Funny. Anyway take a look, theres even pictures of the creator of Atari playing it.
