Have you longed to be able to modify the graphics of Space Invaders? Have you ever wished you could change the look of Pac-Man? Well, try using these tools to modify the ROM images of your favorite Atari 2600 games!

Editbin, by Thelen - This is a nice, but simple DOS based editor. It works with Windows 95-ME, but not with NT, 2000, or XP.

TileLayer Pro by Kent Hansen - Excellent Windows based editor for modifying not only Atari 2600 games, but other games as well.

Ok, so now that you know what to do, get these programs and start making the games LOOK the way they were supposed to!
