+Random Terrain Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 If the post below is correct, Secret Quest could be purchased in December of 1989: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/81602-last-releases-for-every-system/?p=996489 I bought Secret Quest in December 1989, at the same time I bought Zelda 2. It was absolutely positively NOT the last 2600 game.The last 2600 games that I personally saw hit the shelf were Double Dragon and Rampage. Did anyone get it earlier than that? I'll toss it in December as a "Desperate Super Extreme Best Guess" if nobody remembers buying the game before December. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RamrodHare Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 I would tell you, but it's a SECRET... Sorry, all jokes aside, I've never seen any info leading me to think it was released sooner than that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Random Terrain Posted October 30, 2017 Author Share Posted October 30, 2017 Thanks for the replies. I was just wondering since it was "reviewed" in the May/June 1989 issue of Atarian on page 7. Thought it might have been released before December. Speaking of release months, I thought I could stop at 1989 with my Atari 2600 NTSC video game release date pages, but it looks like I'll have to go up to 1990 thanks to a few stragglers. Yay! More work for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister-VCS Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 I think I bought my PAL-copy in September 1989. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Random Terrain Posted October 31, 2017 Author Share Posted October 31, 2017 1991 That's only for PAL, right? Wasn't the last year for NTSC 1990? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubersaurus Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 I think that is correct but finding any information on releases that late is like pulling teeth. I've not been able to narrow it down much at all for 90 or 91. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
