Defeat the Goblin King!
You have been captured by monsters. Again? Yes, again. How does this keep happening to you?
This time, you were on a mission to kill the evil Goblin King, the latest monster to terrorize the land. But as usual, somehow you got yourself caught by his henchmen. Luckily, the monsters aren't any smarter this time around. Someday it might occur to them to take your sword away. Now you must battle your way out of the prison dungeon, navigate your way through the land, and find and defeat the Goblin King.
Good Luck!
Anguna
Anguna is a top-down Zelda-like fantasy action-adventure game for the Atari 2600, written by Nathan Tolbert. Anguna is loosely based on the original version of Anguna written for the Gameboy Advance in 2008. Development for the Atari 2600 version began in mid-2014.
When you begin the game, you find yourself in a dungeon equipped with nothing but a sword. You must battle enemies, explore to escape your prison, and eventually find the evil Goblin King. As the game progresses, you'll find useful items (bow and arrow, lantern, winged boots, dynamite, etc.) as well as attack and defense powerups. As you defeat enemies, you will gain experience. After gaining enough experience, you level will advance, and your maximum health will increase.
As you explore the world, you will uncover many secrets. Defeating all the enemies in a room may uncover a hidden item or open hidden doors. Some walls are fake – occasionally you can walk through what appears to be a solid wall. Use your map for clues and try to explore every room! Some rooms are dark: you won't be able to see very far until you find the lantern. There are six keys scattered throughout the world. Each can be used to open doors corresponding to the color of the key.
To view your inventory, status, and world map, switch the Color/BW switch to BW. The status screen will be shown. On this screen, you can view your current health, attack and defense power, experience points, inventory, and current password.
Anguna uses a password system and optionally an AtariVox/SaveKey to save your progress.

Get an Anguna Box!
If you'd like a boxed copy of Anguna, please select "Box Upgrade: Yes" at the top of the page before adding Anguna to your cart. Our boxes are professionally printed and include a box insert to hold your Anguna cartridge in place. We want you to play our games, so we have not sealed or shrinkwrapped the boxes in any way, allowing you easy access to the game cartridge and manual.
These boxes are the same size as boxes Atari produced for their games "back in the day". They look great sitting on a shelf with your other boxed homebrew games, or alongside games from the classic Atari 2600 library. We only have a limited number of boxes for each game, and there is no guarantee they will become available again once our supplies are exhausted.
