Stroxalarb Posted February 24, 2002 Share Posted February 24, 2002 I bought an interesting cartridge for a couple of dollars today called 'Attack of the Mutant Camels' by HesWare. The chip that sticks out looks like it's too long to be a 2600 game, and the cartridge also looks too small for it. I don't have a console yet so I can't play it to find out what it is. It's not listed at Atariage as far as I can tell. Has anyone heard of it and can anyone tell me anything about it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted February 24, 2002 Share Posted February 24, 2002 What you have is probably the Commodore 64 version of the game. HESWare made software for the Vic-20 and Commodore 64, and Attack of the Mutant Camels was never released for the Atari 2600. I'd scan my C64 cart, but unfortunately it's out of my reach since I'm at work. On a side note, Attack of the Mutant Camels was written by Jeff Minter, who later wrote some Jaguar games, including the popular Tempest 2000. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stroxalarb Posted February 24, 2002 Author Share Posted February 24, 2002 Ahhh thanks alot for that I might stick it in my trade list if anyone is interested in C64 games. I'll post a picture of it some time in the next hour- www.geocities.com/bring_me_the_yellow_pages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeeknPoke Posted February 24, 2002 Share Posted February 24, 2002 Funny that I met Jeff Minter at the Back in Time event in the UK and he signed my c64 tape version of "Attack" as "I nicked this idea from Empire Strikes Back on the VCS" which he did Crazy but cool man!

Atari-Jess Posted February 25, 2002 Share Posted February 25, 2002 I think its the Atari 8-bit version of attack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stroxalarb Posted February 25, 2002 Author Share Posted February 25, 2002 What is an 8-bit version? What do you play it on? Can anyone tell me for sure which of these two it is despite the low-res picture? thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari-Jess Posted February 25, 2002 Share Posted February 25, 2002 Ill explain, Well any Atari product thats older than the atari jaguar was an 8-bit processor but thats not what we mean, an atari 8-bit usually refers to an Atari 8-bit computer being anything from a Atari 400 computer to an Atari XEGS, you can find all this information AND PICTURES at my Atari computer Database located at http://acd.atari.org no www otherwise it wont work any computer that isn't a ST, TT or Falcon will run the 8-bit carts.

Atari-Jess Posted February 25, 2002 Share Posted February 25, 2002 By the looks of it, to me it really does look like an Atari 8-bit cartridge, but with the low res scan, I cant be sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
