ABOUT MIDGARD GAMES

<<

Midgard Games is an independent studio dedicated to the craft of authentic retro 8-bit game development. We believe great games don't need 4K textures or ray-traced lighting — they need clever design, tight controls, and heart.

Our focus is on the Atari 2600, one of the most iconic and constrained platforms in gaming history. Every byte matters. Every cycle counts.
