Most of us that had the Atari as children remember Adventure. Never has running from a dragon that looks like a duck been so much fun. And while the game was a classic in every sense of the word we never got a proper sequal. Well the good people at AtariAge.com have been working to fix that.

It's been a few years in the making, but Adventure II for the Atari 5200 is now complete and shipping!

They've also got a limited edition (doesn't everyone these days) that includes all kinds of goodies. You'll get a box modeled after Atari games of the time with original artwork, full color-manual, maps and more. My favorite part? The box art has you as a little square and an arrow, just like the original game.

I love the homebrew scene. There's so care that goes into these games, and people are still finding new ways of getting more and more out of some really ancient hardware.

Screenshots and summary after the jump.

Youâ€™ve heard the stories from long ago.
Stories of an adventurer, who braved dragons and dangerous mazes to return the Chalice from the forces of evil. At night, youâ€™ve dreamt of such adventure. Often the dreams occur in the Ice Kingdomâ€™s abandoned, frozen landscapes to the north; other times, you find yourself hopelessly lost in the Green Kingdomâ€™s hedge mazes; sometimes the dreaming takes place in the frightening endless forests, which surround the Dark Kingdom.
And now, the Chalice is missing again. Your weapons and keys, gone from the safety of the Seashore Castle. Peasants cry out in fear with tales of fantastic and dangerous creatures roaming the countryside. Evil has once again stolen the Chalice and hidden it! Return this sacred Chalice to the safety of the Seashore Kingdomâ€™s Castle!
