if u never knew u could use a paddle with it, you probably never played it. great 2600 shooter.

Man that takes me back :-) I remeber that being my favorite game on Space War too, I played the heck out of it as a kid. I havent played it since though.

Read my Star Ship thread for a similarily themed 'old game most think is crap that I love' bit.

well i wrote the review for atari today. lets see if they put it up

January 16, 2003

oh :-) thanks for the tip :-) and how about that multi fire?

btw, great SI version. really has a different feel from the atari verrsion. and I love the look and sound

January 15, 2003

I dont know if this has been addressed, but my special edition, when I hit select for multi lives, the life counter jumps to 7, but when you start the game, it goes back to three and u have no xtra lives. Does it have multi fire like 2600 port? :-)

im using an adam w/ a coleco adaptor, btw

Played Star Ship again last nite, so I could write a good review for Atari Today. He offered to replace his review with mine, so as soon as I have the time to spit it out... I failed to mention a THIRD game in Star Ship, Warp Drive, where you control your speed (with a neat sfx for your different speeds,) and try to go as far as possible (in parsecs,) as you can in 2.16 minutes.) Warp Drive is ALSO a fun game. It's the only game that doesn't have a two player mode tho.

Am I the only one who really liked having many games in one cartridge (street racer was really good with variety too,)

Star Ship has: Star Ship, the 2 player 'shoot the module game', one/2 player simul Lunar Lander game, and The Warp Drive game. All of which are actually different games. Not bad for an ol primitive small game.

It's definately something that modern games do not have, lots of actual different games (and compilations dont count,)

how about those gradient walls? :-)

January 14, 2003

well, e.t. and especially raiders really made me feel i was playing a role, the way the inventory affects what you can do and how it enables you to access more game areas and do new things has a real 'rpg' feel to me

and yes from some perspective, they are all 'role' playing games, even space instigators! :-)

i would never give up my prized QB! :-) It's just nice to occassionally hear a programmes report, etc. (Also, I'm just trying to weasel myself a copy of your kung fu game! or weasel you into making more copies! you evil evil man you!)

any tips on getting z26 to work with xp MCE? ive got the latest version (of z26,)

January 14, 2003

such negativity! Well, I guess I have answered my question as far as 'yup most people think Star Ship is turd'

I proudly enjoy the turd that is star ship. I also like data age warplock and encounter at l-5! I also like all the mythicon games!

January 14, 2003

i was just being hopeful :-)

love to see 7800 desert falcon on svid

January 14, 2003

still doesnt tell me what models? (big sexy, darth, 4 switch, sears, jr, 2800 (aka sears video arcade 2,) etc)

January 14, 2003

OOOH! That sounds AWESOME!

I -CAN'T- wait :-)

I may have missed this somewhere, but what model(s) is it compatible with? 7800 ??? :-)

January 14, 2003

not being knowledgeable on the programming involved, but could the wall colors be changed each line (or several lines,) to produce gradient walls?

Just curious

January 14, 2003

wow. sorry you had to sell that :-( I'd love to have one of those. I love the funny ending messages.

I still stand by Star Ship as a fun game with ugly graphics.

January 14, 2003

yikes! Must have exceeded the bandwidth requirements of my friends site or something, I'll ask him

space station was awesome. There was another huge multi-floor one, where you could see though the floors and some crazy ceiling arangement.

My favorite by far was an entire underground arcade in an ancient subway. It had the original red baron and many of the old non-electronic arcade games, like ones where you hit a metal ball with a wooden bat. Great stuff. Had Space War and Pong too :-)

January 14, 2003

man.... that takes me back. I -LOVED- that arcade game as a kid. An arcade in china town in NYC where I grew up used to have it. They had a chicken that played tic tac toe, too.

That would be awesome to see that on the 2600 :-) hint hint

I seem to remember mythicon boxes being pretty small.

adventure vision cart boxes are HUGE compared to the tiny little 'chip' cart

January 14, 2003

Ever since I started aquiring masses of consoles from thrift stores, I've

wanted to take them all and build a single box with all the old cartridge consoles in one place. It's SICK the amount of space they all take up at the moment, and with a bunch of wire and two copies of every console, you could have the unit itself inside a box, and then a dissassembled second unit (which you would use for wired ports,) so you could have a box with a face that contains all the different cartridge / joystick ports on its face. Of course you would still have to plug all the systems in, and have all their av ports too. big ugly project... but boy would it save space...

any screenshots of the arcade star ship anywhere?
