Ed Federmeyer's first 2600 programming effort, SoundX, is a
sound generating cart that displays all of the Atari 2600 sound
parameters on the screen and allows them to be modified. It
also lets you to set pitch, volume, etc for both voices of
the 2600. Basically, you can make any sound the stock 2600
can make and the values are right there for your use if you
would ever want to write your own game cart. DazzleDemo
is an extra bonus, it cycles through all the color combinations
of the 2600 in an eye-catching style. In the center of the
DazzleDemo screen your custom serial number appears (each cart
has a serial number built into the game.) While not actual
games, SoundX/DazzleDemo are still interesting programs.
SoundX/Dazzledemo can be purchased as a cartridge from Randy
Crihfield. You can contact Randy via e-mail at
