Gamer Posted August 18, 2001 Share Posted August 18, 2001 I was told that you can download old Atari games and play them on your PC. Is this true? And if it is, where and how? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hehe...looks like you caught the AtariAge plug on Extended Play tonight. Did any body else see that show? The plug was something along the lines of, if you can't find your 2600 in the closet you can download 2600 games at AtariAge and play them on your PC. With of course a few screenshots from the AtariAge website on the TV. Pretty cool! I did find one mistake in their strategy guide for classic games though. They said there was no strategy for Asteroids, but I thought that the best strategy was to shoot the little asteroids first (they move faster) and work up until finally breaking the larger ones. Well, it alwys worked for me at the arcade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gamer Posted August 19, 2001 Author Share Posted August 19, 2001 Yup, you're right. Saw it on Extended Play. Thanks for all that help. I got an emulator. Now all I need are some good games. Was there a game entitled "Dungeons and Dragons"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nukey Shay Posted August 19, 2001 Share Posted August 19, 2001 Sounds like you are totally new to emulation. There are many other consoles and arcade games emulated as well...and http://www.zophar.net is updated pretty frequently for current emunews. No commercial game roms there though...since all of 'em are still illegal (unless sanctioned by the respective copyright holders). My favorite is still Mame.

liquid_sky Posted August 19, 2001 Share Posted August 19, 2001 quoteWas there a game entitled "Dungeons and Dragons"? There were planned Dungeons and Dragons releases for the Atari, but they never saw the light of day. On the other hand, the Intellivision did have one released D&D game, here is a link. ADVANCED DUNGEONS & DRAGONS Cloudy Mountian As for Intellivision emulators, your best (only) bet is to purchase the Intellivision Lives! CD-ROM.. avalible HERE Welcome to the classic gaming scene btw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted August 19, 2001 Share Posted August 19, 2001 The Intellivision had ONE D&D game? Try three. AD&D Cloudy Mountain AD&D Treasure of Tarmin Tower of Doom (Really a AD&D game, but INTV couldn't afford the lisence) There is a prototype of one AD&D game for the 2600, I think it was Tower of Mystery or Treasure of Tarmin. It looked good. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquid_sky Posted August 19, 2001 Share Posted August 19, 2001 Really? I never knew they released Treasure of Tarmin on Intellivision.. I was just a casual (still am) Intellivision player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ze_ro Posted August 20, 2001 Share Posted August 20, 2001 I managed to find Treasure of Tarmin as one of my first buys for the Intellivision One of my few lucky finds... It's actually an extremely good game, especially considering the hardware it runs on. --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically, just download anything you've heard of (such as Asteroids and Missile Command), since the Atari had pretty much all the classics made for it. Here's some good games that you probably haven't heard of: Cosmic Ark Dragonfire Adventure (Hey, I hadn't heard of it before Atari) Secret Quest Dark Chambers Wizard of Wor Mountain King Thunderground Enduro --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
