    Wow that's great. Rip Off is one of those arcade games that pissed me off as a kid because it was relentless :lol: Definitely a good one for 2 player though. I think it's awesome it's being ported and an excellent choice :D

     

    Yknow.. now that I think about it I dont think I've ever tried the Vectrex version. I didn't even fully realize it had been ported I guess! :ponder: I'll have to try it on my multicart.

     

    2 or 3 of Skelly's best games were ported to Vectrex, maybe more.

     

    It makes sense though, since he was DA MAN when it came to Vector games, along with Ed Logg, of course.

    That wasn't a personal attack, Vinnie. It was meant as a joke.

     

    I'd send you some custom made joints that I've been smoking, but the post office refuses to ship dangerous chemicals.

     

    Actually, yours and the Video Game Critics' webistes are good sources of review info. I'm surprised that no one's directed pocketmego to them yet.

     

    I've been to he VGC site tones of times for 2600 games and because of that I seek your opinions first. Because sometimes that guy is right and sometimes he is WAY OFF.

    Whenever I read anything about the Crash, I see that a LOT of companies pushed anything they had out the door in that last year and that most of it was pretty awful.

     

    Yet, I haven't encountered anything truly horrific yet. Was there really just tons of TRASH released in 83 and 84, more than any other time?

     

    I'm curious as to what you all think. This is an area of history that I am not as sharp on as I'd like to be.

    Still, it would have been GREAT if any of the home versions would have been complete. Even the C64 one is missing the Galaxians. But, I wonder if the name and likenesses of the Galaxians was even necessary. Much like the 'Invasion from Space" mission, you could have had a board that played like Galaxian, but wasn't Galaxian. Atari or any other company could easily have gotten away with that, I think.

    Yeah, it is based on spider city. I've played it on the vic 20 before.

     

    Also, I have to say that Spacemaster X-7 is growing on me. I popped it in last night after remembering this thread and I must say it's a damn site better than I remember. Very original and very fast. It's gonna be a favorite, I'm thinking.

     

    Yeah, it has what I like to call the "Tempest Factor" about it. It doesn't appear to make much sense, but gameplay comes very instinctively. Before you know it your in total TWITCH Gamer mode and you can't stop. It was probabloy not a game that would have appealled to children, but is catching us now at the right age.

    I was watching tv this afternoon waiting for my wife to get home from work.This show was on called "Yes,Dear".Never heard of it so i stopped to watch it.They mention the Atari 2600 and Defender on it which i thought was cool.The show was pretty funny so i may watch it again.Just thought i would bring it up.

     

    I've heard of this episode, but never seen it. The show is Ok, in that man being written the way women wish we really were kind of way.

    If this game is anywhere near as fun to play as it is on the Vectrex then I'm certainly sold. Rip Off is a GREAT game.

    Seriously, I could see a lot of great adventure potential in Midnight Mutants. But, that game is ridiculously hard. I figured once I got the knife it would all be golden. But, man its like taking down At AT's in Empire Strikes back in that game.

     

    Am I missing something?

    Seriously, my friend and I went at it not too long ago for a good hour.

     

    I suppose you got the right to do whatever you want, but man, sharing that story makes for a a pretty rough mental image... j/k... :P

     

    Maybe his friend is Jessica Biel or Elisha Cuthbert

     

    Speaking of, are there any women on this board?

     

    I'm not looking for a date, just curious.

     

    Somehow I doubt it.

     

    At least he didn't say he and his friend went at it Balls Blazing for a good hour.

    There must have been a copyright issue with the galaxian level, because none of the home versions of Gorf included it IIRC.

     

    ThaT'S exactly what the problem was.

     

    yes, but no one thought there might be home versions when GORF was first made as an arcade game?

     

    Was this game made so far ahead of the VCS?

    A very cool game that I only really discovered after coming here. I read about the arcade version in a Tim Skelly Retro Gamer article, but Never really understood the 2600 version at first. But, as I played it more and more I got into it.

    Though it would be interesting to do a Six Million Dollar Man game based off that venus lander robot episode, where the Venus lander comes back to earth and wreaks havok and Steve Austin has to do battle with it.

    Wasn't that a double episode?

     

    I remember watching it as a kid (I even made that robot out of LEGO).

     

    I believe there was another (double) episode in which that robot (or another model) returned.

     

    Wasn't there some kind of saw blade inside that robot that could come out?

     

    Come to think of it: I also remember watching an episode in which Steve had to battle with some kind of Yeti.

     

    It made a huge impression on me.

     

    I really wish I could see these episodes again.

    These are not entire episodes but clips with enough material to give you the jist of the episodes and probably featuring the most important stuff per epeisode.

     

    Check out John Delancie's cameo at the end of Death probe Part 2.
