AtariLegend is now open-source

August 9, 2020 by LynXX

The code for the AtariLegend website is now open-source! It always was our desire for AtariLegend to be an open project, that's why we started sharing full database dumps in 2018. We wanted to open the code as well for a long time, but it took some time to reach that point. Today it's finally here, please find the source code on GitHub.

Contributions are welcome, and we hope that more developers will join us in continuing to improve the site. Also feel free to use GitHub to report bugs or if you have improvements ideas. And as usual please continue contributing to the database by submitting your reviews, game facts and comments!

Random review

One good thing about this game is that you don't have lives/credits. You can try a level as often as you like, and if you fail it there's no penalty. You can play the levels in any order - choose from 1 to 15, they get ticked off as you complete them.
