AtariLeaf Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 I think there was a thread about someone opening a factory sealed activision game that still had actiplaque on it, unless I'm imagining it. And yes, it's weird I also have some blue label versions that look almost perfect, if not completely perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+LS650 Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 I opened a factory sealed game (I think it was Skiing) and the label suffered Actiplaque. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Commander Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 No love for Boxing. I know It's kinda hard to find a 2nd player most of the time, but when you do lure a victim into your game lair this is the game to pummel them with. Gamepads are recommended if you don't wanna get crippled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss 2600 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I hear you on the Activision 2600 cartridge label art. What really cheeses me off is when stores like Dimple proceed to slap their price tags on top of the Activision [or Atari] labels which totally screws them up if you intend to remove them. Is it so hard just to put the price tag on any other part of the cartridge that doesn't have any labeling or artwork? Sheesh. Wow, Dimple Records! I haven't thought about that store in years. I used to go there every time I was in the Sacramento area (was it in Roseville?). Is it still around? I remember them carrying all sorts of music memorabilia like vintage posters, buttons and magazines like Kerrang! I'm sure some of my Atari cartridge collection is from there. They had so many games at one time. I think I remember their games not being that cheap, but I'd splurge if they had something I didn't have.

VectorGamer Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Good vid. But Laser Blast as an honorable mention? No thanks Jeff... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubxcube Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I'll have to check out this Dimple Records place. Never heard of it. I'll be in Sac two weeks from now. Favorite Activision games... Pitfall, Keystone Kapers, Hero.... Sadly, I have still never played Pitfall 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atari_envy Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Decided to give this a shot: 1. Pitfall 2. Enduro 3. HERO 4. Starmaster 5. Beamrider 6. Stampede 7. Pitfall II 8. Kaboom 9. Kung Fu Master 10. River Raid So many other great games like Chopper Command, Keystone Kapers, Spider Fighter, Megamania, Robot Tank and others make it a tough call on a top 10, so I tried to base my list off the games I actually play. If you are talking two players, this list might change as Fishing Derby, Boxing, Ice Hockey, Tennis, Oink, and Drag Racing are a blast going head-to-head with someone. Keep the videos coming.

DesertJets Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Excellent video as always. My Activision collection isn't all that complete, but I think my top favorite is Keystone Capers. I have HERO for both the 2600 and A8 but I never really gave them a good play. If I had to make a list: 1. Keystone Kapers 2. River Raid 3. Pitfall II 4. Frostbite 5. Robot Tank 6. HERO (this would probably be higher if I played it more) 7. Stampede Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
high voltage Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Anybody here like the Bridge game? Or Cosmic Commuter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atari_envy Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Anybody here like the Bridge game? Or Cosmic Commuter? I like Cosmic Commuter. It is fun, different, and one that I play somewhat regularly. In thinking about it, I would put it at about 25th on my list, which is a testament to how many playable games Activision made. Trouble is it's not very exciting. Interesting, but not exciting. It's not one of those addictive games where the action gets fast and furious as time goes on. You are a bus driver in space -- kinda like Space Shuttle for dummies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marius Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 My top 5 worst: 1. Barnstorming (snoopy would like it) 2. Private Eye (get the map out) 3. Freeway (a timed game based on traffic??) 4. Spider Fighter (way too easy for me) 5. Laser Blast (too simplistic and minimal) That is odd... Barnstorming and private eye are both one of my all time favorites. Stampede is also very nice, so we agree about that one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
