Cakewalk (Atari 2600)

Postby VideoGameCritic » December 7th, 2025, 3:14 pm

I just stumbled upon this ROM and fired it up on my Harmony Cart. Wow, this is really good.

It's basically a sideways "catch the cake" kind of game, but the conveyer belts move at different speeds. Adding strategy is how you can press the button to pause a given belt for four section. This game is a serious multitasking challenge!

The graphics are nice. It has a title screen, and a full slate of 16 variations. Full review forthcoming.

I looked and I couldn't find a mention of this anywhere. The closest thing I could find was 'piece o cake'.

I coulda sworn that you reviewed this before, but that was Piece o Cake.

Two different cake games on the 2600.
