Fans of the popular four-player Atari 2600 game Warlords (which was also released as an arcade game of the same name) will be happy to learn that 2600 enthusiast Darrell Spice Jr. has created a new 2600 homebrew titled Medieval Mayhem, an updated take on Warlords. While the original version from Atari is still a blast to play, Medieval Mayhem adds arcade features such as the launch dragon, multiple fireballs, and a level of polish missing from the original 2600 release. It also includes a menu to select options before starting the game. Medieval Mayhem is a frenetic multi-player game that you can enjoy against your friends (up to four people may play) or against the computer AI!

Features:

  • Launch Dragon
  • Multiple Fireballs
  • 4 AI levels
  • Options Menu
  • Stereo Sound
  • Titlescreen Music
  • Demo mode
  • Individual Player Catch Setting
  • Fireball Flareups

In October 2006 AtariAge sponsored a Medieval Mayhem Label Contest to solicit artwork for the game. The winning entry was created by David Vazquez, whose art graces both the label and manual. You can view all the contest submissions here.

My first homebrew. I had the rom and NEEDED to own it on cart! Not disappointed with the box and manual. This is a MUST own. Got a 2600 ? Got paddles? Love Warlords? Than this is for you!

This was my first homebrew purchase. And it did not disappoint. I loved warlords, but lets face it, the AI was pretty dumb. This game ups the graphics, music, animations, and options through the roof and then adds way better AI to boot. Its HARD.

But it's also a really interesting party game. When you have people over and they see an old atari next to the TV they ask to play (yes this happens a lot to me at least). This is the go to cart and it usually ends up pretty competitive. This is a great game!

"Warlords" is a superb party game, and this is a great "more-frills" version for the 2600 (along the lines of Castle Crisis on the 8-bit). Get yourself a couple sets of paddles, set it up during a kid's birthday party, and you'll have them glued to it!

Very simply, if you are a fan of the original Warlords, you will love this enhanced remake. The improved graphics, smarter computer players, and the option for multiple balls all make for more interesting gameplay. This one is a hit with my whole family!

This is what Warlords should've been. Now I'm not knocking Warlords, I consider that to be one of the best games on the 2600. This game is just as good, if not better. I highly recommend it.

The definitive version of Warlords rendered using the latest programming techniques. Whenever I want to be inspired by homebrew 2600 programming, I insert this game and give it a try.

This was the first homebrew I ever bought. Absolutely brilliant and a ton of fun if you have somebody else to play with - especially with four players. The computer opponents are way too easy to kill off.

I'm a longtime Warlords fan, and a few years ago I introduced a friend to the 2600 (he never played it before) and WARLORDS. Then I got this and it blew him away. He says he can't believe how much BETTER this is compared to the original.

Not everyone thinks it's better - I do have a couple of WARLORDS holdouts in my circle of friends and family, but even they admit this has some major advantages.

The only drawback is the AI is brutal. VERY tough, especially compared to the suicidal AI in the original.
