SoundGammon Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 This is a club for those who played both the 2600 and the ARCADE versions of the game! The young gamers now days maybe a few. I'll add a few that I've played both versions of: Missile Command Berzerk Asteroids Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Random Terrain Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 This is a club for those who played both the 2600 and the ARCADE versions of the game! The young gamers now days maybe a few. Thanks to MAME, young gamers can claim that they played the arcade versions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriel Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 All of these are games which I've played the genuine arcade machine. I've also eliminated any 2600 game I've only played the rom of (only games where I've played the actual cart at least once.) Asteroids Missile Command Pac-Man Ms. Pac-Man Jr. Pac-Man Defender Stargate Phoenix Berzerk Donkey Kong Zaxxon Mouse Trap Battlezone Galaxian Star Trek: Strategic Operations Simulator Combat (one of the Kee Games Tank machines) Night Driver Centipede Dragster (I forget what the arcade version was called) Gorf Joust Mario Bros Popeye Space Invaders Vanguard Q*bert Mr. Do Burger Time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+save2600 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I can honestly say I've played every arcade equivalent back in the day, sans maybe two games: Crossbow - never knew it was an arcade game before the 2600 version Jr. Pac-Man I remember seeing Jr. at a bar once, but by that time the 2600 version had put me so off, that I didn't even bother to play it. That scrolling maze was/is for the birds! Hasn't been mentioned yet, but Reactor is excellent on both fronts. Surprised that game didn't see more conversions BITD. Would have been especially nice to see on the 5200/7800 or Colecovision. And would have worked extremely well with the Intellivision's 16-way disc.

Cobra Commander Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 I've probably gutted every one at least once when I was being paid to make MAME cabs. Kind of a shame but the can't all be saved, they weren't mine anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Climber Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 It would be easier for me to list the ones I haven't played, lol 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoundGammon Posted August 30, 2014 Author Share Posted August 30, 2014 A 2600 version of Space Dungeon? Sorry about that! Got thinking about the 5200, but's that's another elite club! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoundGammon Posted August 30, 2014 Author Share Posted August 30, 2014 I worked for a company that ran video games in arcades, bars, bowling alleys...might have more games to list...really remember Double Dragon as it was the first conversion I did. Put it into Jungle King cabinet. Another game that we had in a 2-player upright version: WARLORDS also: MOON PATROL POLE POSITION TUTANKHAM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+KaeruYojimbo Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Off hand I can think of (counting only actual Atari 2600 carts and actual arcade machines) Asteroids Pac-Man Ms. Pac-Man Jr. Pac-Man Donkey Kong Mario Bros Moon Patrol Kangaroo Spy Hunter Wizard of Wor Q*bert Carnival (played this on a real cab for the first time the other day) Joust Blue Print Frogger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godzillajoe Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Too many to list. And too many dead brain cells to be certain. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory DG Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I thought the "Elite" club would be for those who have a 95% complete collection of games... As for games where I've played both: Pretty much all of them... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+KaeruYojimbo Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 I was fooling around and made this for anyone who wants to keep track. http://eliteclub.statotronic.com After you create a user name and password, click on the red X's to add games. I included 5200, Intellivision and Colecovision ports too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
