Grizzards

A Turn-Based Rôle-Playing Game for the Atari 2600

Find out more about Grizzards here.

If you have an Atari 2600 and a Harmony Encore, UnoCart download the Grizzards a26 file and place it on your SD card.

If you have a PlusCart, look for Grizzards v1.2 in the PlusStore (coming soon) or download the a26 file and place it in your PlusStore personal folder.

SaveKey or AtariVox Required

Since your multicart will not have the special save-to-cartridge technology of the Grizzards retail cartridge, you must use a SaveKey, MemCard, or AtariVox memory device to play the game.

Download Files

You need to know which TV standard your Atari 2600 uses. Download the appropriate file here:

You'll also want the manual and map:

Grizzards is available from only at Portland Retro Gaming Expo on 14-16 October, 2022.

Play on PC

If you don't have an Atari 2600, download the Stella emulator here and the Grizzards files here. Place both the a26 and pro files in the same folder and open the a26 file with Stella to play on Linux, macOS, or Windows.

Play on Android

If you have an Android device, you can download RetroArch here and the Grizzards files here. Ensure that both the a26 and pro files are in the same folder and open the a26 file with RetroArch. Currently, you must use the RetroArch Save State feature or your save game file will be erased when you quit playing.

AtariVox

With an AtariVox, Grizzards has full combat and dialogue narration. Enjoy the retro vibes of the AtariVox's speech synthesizer with Grizzards and other Atari games. You can purchase an AtariVox+ from the online store now.

Joy2b+

Grizzards supports Joy2b+ controllers, which give retro games three buttons for controls. You can buy (or build) Joy2b+ controllers from a variety of places, including this option from RetroGameBoyz.
