If you don't have a real Atari computer or the PC Atari emulator, you'll need to follow these instructions:

You will need to download an Atari Emulator, click here http://atariarea.krap.pl/PLus/index_us.htm, download these two emulators:

Atari800Win PLus 4.0.exe, installer - 673 174 bytes

 xf25.zip, emulator X-Former 2.5 containing *.ROM files. You should copy them to the ROM subdirectory of Atari800Win PLus emulator.

• If you use Atari800Win PLus, go to the top where it says Atari (Next to File) and then ROM images.
• Click on XL/XE and find the ROM file that has XL at the end
• Do the same with BASIC (but with the ROM file that has BASIC at the end)
• Leave OS-A, OS-B, 5200 and Cartridge (but make sure it's detatched)
• Go to Atari, then Settings and make sure the only box ticked is Enable SIO patch for fast disk access.
• Now go to the Input menu, select Joysticks, make sure Autofire Mode is off, choose Arrows + RCtrl as fire on Joystick 1.
• Go to the the View menu, then Graphics Options, select 1024x768 or 800x600.

Tip: If you are playing a different game that is not written in Atari BASIC, make sure you do disable BASIC, this is what makes most games not work, so make sure you check, you can download alot of 8-bit Atari games off the internet!

PC game! Download here Gwobby Skyclimb (rename the downloaded file from .aaa to .exe)

 Unlike it's predecessor, this game was created on the PC program, Game Maker. The basic idea is to manouvre Gwobby through the levels without touching enemies. The complete version will be on here soon! At the moment it is a keyboard controlled game, but soon will become joystick controlled. To finish each level find the gap in the stage, or locate the boss (e.g Nyorbcraft)

 Story

Once again, Nyorb has kidnapped Mrs G, but has a new lair, in the sky! Use Gwobby's new hoverboots to soar towards Nyorb's base!!! But this time, Nyorb has a whole new army of Buzzoks, Ballerina Birds, Badbats and many more!
