Play 2 Pak Special Magenta - CaveBlast,City War Online

Game Overview

Ever stumble across one of those weird late-era Atari 2600 cartridges that makes you go, "Wait, they were still making these in the '90s?" That's 2 Pak Special Magenta for you—a double dose of janky PAL-region goodness from 1992.

You get two games crammed into one magenta-colored cartridge: CaveBlast feels like someone tried to make a maze shooter with explosions (expect lots of blocky tunnels and questionable hit detection), while City War throws you into what I can only describe as urban chaos with tanks or maybe just angry squares shooting at each other. Neither’s exactly polished, but there’s charm in how stubbornly Atari-ish they feel.

Honestly, you’re not missing much if you never play it—but if you’re the type who collects oddball retro stuff just to marvel at how weird the 2600’s twilight years were, this one’s a fun conversation piece. The fact that it exists at all is kind of amazing.
