Jess Ragan Posted October 1, 2001 Share Posted October 1, 2001 This should spark some discussion. I guess I'd have to say Circus Charlie... I suspect that its colorful graphics and at least four of its six rounds would have been reproduced quite well on the 2600. I always wondered how the McDonald's game and Octo***** (which sounded like an early version of Bad Dudes to me) would have turned out. Considering Treasure's McDonald's game and Virgin's Global Gladiators for the Genesis the Mickey Dee's game for the 2600 may not have been that bad. I guess I'll just have to be happy with Pressure Cooker, huh? JR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted October 1, 2001 Share Posted October 1, 2001 Let's see: 2600: Lord of the Rings 5200: Cloak & Dagger 7800: Skyfox 8-bit: The rest of the Alternate Reality series Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackjax Posted October 1, 2001 Share Posted October 1, 2001 I read on the Blue Sky Ranger's page that the James Bond 007 game based off of Octop_ussy was released... was this a different game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you provide a URL for the page that says that? The screens I've seen for the Octo***** game don't look like anything released that I know of. Also, one game I was hungrily looking for is Commavid's Rush Hour, and another game I'd LOVE to see but was probably just a sham is Gammation's Gamma Attack.

Trebor Posted October 2, 2001 Share Posted October 2, 2001 Masters Of the Universe: The Power Of He-man on the ColecoVision. As well as Masters of the Universe II. Playing the latest Dig Dug and Pac-man Protos for the ColecoVision also has me wishing those games would've been released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vic George Posted October 2, 2001 Share Posted October 2, 2001 What's disappointing to me is never seeing an actual Atari 2600 Ladybug cartridge in gaming action. (I still wonder whether the writers of one of Electronic Games' Buyer's Guides actually got to play a real version of it or not, since it was listed in there as an actual game.)

Ze_ro Posted October 3, 2001 Share Posted October 3, 2001 I'm with Tempest on this one... I hope someone finds (and dumps) a finished prototype of Lord of the Rings (Now that Ewok Adventure is found, I hope this is the next one...) --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel D. Park Posted October 3, 2001 Share Posted October 3, 2001 Sneek n Peek 2 would have been very cool. The original used to be one of my favorites when me and my brother would play. Also, I kind of wish all the Disney/Garfield games would have been completed and released. Just for the packaging alone they would have been awesome. Later, Joel D.

Jess Ragan Posted October 3, 2001 Author Share Posted October 3, 2001 I kind of wonder how many prototypes are out there. It's possible that dozens were swept under the rug after the crash, since it seemed to happen so suddenly. One day, you'd be working on a translation of an arcade game, and the next, you'd be in the unemployment office. Back to the topic, I really would have liked to see Konami's version of Scramble for the 2600. I know, Super Cobra is essentially the same thing, but I suspect that Konami's game might have been better than Parker Brothers'. JR P.S. Would the forum software stop censoring my posts if I just called the unreleased 007 game Octo-vagina from now on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROCKINGROLL Posted October 4, 2001 Share Posted October 4, 2001 I vote for HULK & LORD OF THE RINGS. Why did they even advertise them in the PARKER BROS catalog if they weren't going to release them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTF IS GOING ON HERE??? AAAAAAAAAAAAH Yes, we have it setup to censor a few choice words, and you've discovered one of them. However, I just made a change so words like Octopussy and pussycat will now display properly. While Alex and I are not offended by, uhmmm, colorful language, we surely draw many children to the site and there's usually no need for swearing when discussing classic gaming. I find it amusing that the software was censoring the word Octopussy (or at least part of it). ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hakogame 箱亀 Posted October 4, 2001 Share Posted October 4, 2001 I just remembered the game I wish wasn't cancelled. Adventure Mr. Do! A laserdisc Mr Do! arcade game, I wonder how far it got into production? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted October 5, 2001 Share Posted October 5, 2001 The KLOV seems to think it go to the prototype stage: http://www.klov.com/A/Adventure_Mr._Do!.html I must admit that would be interesting to see. Has anyone tried to do a 3D version of Mr. Do? I think that would be awesome. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+johnnywc Posted October 5, 2001 Share Posted October 5, 2001 I'd have to say Elevator Action. I purchased one of the copies at CGE (expecting a 95% completed version) but unfortunately it's more like 80% done. A completed playable version of that would have been awesome...

moycon Posted October 5, 2001 Share Posted October 5, 2001 I remember I was VERY excited as a kid when I read games like Friday the 13th and Jaws and many other movie titles were coming out for the 2600 ( Airplane, 48 hours ) I think 20 Century Fox was putting them out. Electronic Gaming monthy reported it in their magazine... I waited and waited...*sigh* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The titles you mentioned were announced by Sega, which was owned by the parent company of Paramount. They had a handout at CES which listed all of these titles.

Marco(2) Posted October 5, 2001 Share Posted October 5, 2001 Well, this was never announced, but I wish they would have made a better version of 2600 Pengo. Perhaps for the Supercharger? Cheers, Marco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted October 5, 2001 Share Posted October 5, 2001 Have you played the Atari 5200 version of Pengo? It's pretty close to the arcade. To me at least, some of those later unreleased Atari titles sound interesting. Games like: Street Fight, Surround II, Preppie, and Foxbat all sound neat to me. And what about Pyromania for the 7800? A game where you set fire to things would be awesome (in a sick way). Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
