zraider Posted May 12, 2002 Share Posted May 12, 2002 I'm looking for Jawbreaker but am having trouble finding it. I used to have it on tape years ago for my Atari 800, and I assume the 2600 cartridge is the same game. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

NovaXpress Posted May 12, 2002 Share Posted May 12, 2002 Actually the 2600 version is a translation of Jawbreaker 2. The original was a total Pac-Man clone but the sequel used a moving playfield and is far superior Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zraider Posted May 12, 2002 Author Share Posted May 12, 2002 Thanks for the info, Nova. That helps a lot. I had an Atari 800 that I had to load the game from tape with, and if I'm not mistaken, the game was by Sierra Online. So, I guess you're saying if I want this game I'll have to find another 800 and the game on tape (or was there an original cartridge ?). The game by Tigervision doesn't look like the exact same game if the emulation version is accurate. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris++ Posted May 13, 2002 Share Posted May 13, 2002 The 2600 game (by TigerVision) is altogether different. I like it more, because it's not a Pac-Man clone; it's actually really imaginative, and surprisingly addictive. But if you want the first Jawbreaker, I have a floppy full of John Harris's different versions, including the original (which was available in stores, etc.). He sent me the floppy himself. (Nice guy!) You'll need a 400, 800 or XE, as well as a disk drive. E-mail me at drummerboy_91@yahoo.com if you'd like me to send you a copy.
