    imho the best star raiders on the 2600 was Phaser Patrol. I loved that game, I even liked it more than 8 bit star raiders. Of course Solaris took in a whole new direction, and it's not really a Star Raiders type game, more like Star Sweeper or Moon Raider. On a side note, I can remember just how blown away I was as a kid by Moon Sweepers 3d gfx. I thought they were amazing at the time :-) Like the way screen shots of Doom 3 impress me now, so did Moon Sweeper

    i'm another freak with inky. I loved 2600 dkjr back when I got it. I loved that it had more screens from the arcade in it than the original DK, and I liked it a LOT better than the oriignal 2600 dk (which I really liked at the time it came out, as it was the only version of DK I had,) Kind of funny that colecos hand held versions looked better than the 2600 versions at the time :-) Still I remember beating it many times in row always hoping that there would be a fourth board eventually :-(

    Just imagine how different things would be if Atari had released the 7800 back during the supposed 'crash' times. The superior quality of the 7800 and it's games, and it's (finally smart,) backwards compatilibility, may have saved the market before it even finished crashing. And nintendo might have begged Atari a little harder to release the NES here instead of doing it themselves... the world may never know ...

    Venture 2 is great fun, and the new levels definately add challenge. I'm a master of the original venture, and it actually took work for me to get to level two. Also, I can't kill all the enemies with ease like I can in the original. It's a shame it couldnt have all the levels, tho, or could have exchanged level 1 for level 2, and turned level 2 into level 3 (or maybe 3 all new levels even??) It definately strikes me as a Venture 1.5, tho, but I'm a big fan of 2600 venture, so I dont mind.

    Keir: LOL! I was just about to post that :-) Entombed & Quick Step are two of my favorite multiplayer 2600 games. I've always enjoyed Jedi Arena also. G.I. Joe is a lot of fun too.

     

    Atari realsports tennis is also another all time favorite of mine

     

    Party Mix (supercharger,) is great with a bunch of people, too.

     

    Mash is also fun with two players.

     

    One of my very first two player 2600 faves is Star Ship. Lots of actual game play variety. I like all the varieties, but my favorite is the one where you try to land a lunar module on a space rock while the other player tries to manuever the space rock out of the way. fun stuff

    i myself prefer the fast reflex gameplay of most 2600 games

    which is why i prefer the 2600 over all consoles.

    ive noticed that video game play itself has gotten progresively slower ever since the 2600 came out, (especially the slow NES,) and just recently, since the dreamcast, started to get a bit faster again.

     

    I love games like kaboom or space master x-7 or turmoil that force you to rely on your reflexes (sp?.) the zone rules :-)

    Let's say, I took a copy of Edward Hopper's Nighthawks and modified it in some way that was amusing or interesting to a new group of people, and posted it here for everyone to enjoy. I do not have the legal right to the original work, but the modifications exist only because I invested time and effort into making them. Now say, someone takes that image and sells prints of it without getting permission from me. I may not have a legal right to make that person stop, but perhaps we can agree that it would not be moral for a person to profit from someone else's work without that person's permission.

     

    it was immoral for you to illegally modify someone else's work in the first place, hence you are standing on a broken table, if you see my point.

    yes, just to clarify, I am talking about the hacks.

     

    And applying ones morals to another is pointless. Everyone has their own personal feelings, and morals. That is why we have the law, it tells us what in our society crosses the line.

     

    Anything else is just childish slapping.

     

    Morally, I agree that if TJ asks person X to remove his illegal hacks, they should. But i've also been alive long enough to know that the world doesn't work that way. (It's not like randy is rollin in dough from this,)

     

    And I am sorry if i mis-associating my half year + delay with TJ when it is in fact Jah-Fish.

     

    Of course we all have to change our minds, TJ, that's why I said 'funny how things change' Although in this case, I think it's more actually sad how things change, but I was being sarcastic, as I am wont to do.

    Randy is selling my games for over a year now, and I had no problems with him at all. I'll stay with him

     

    He is definitely doing the community a very BIG favour!

    i dont really see as how tj has a leg to stand on, really, its fan modification. its not like hes paying for the original games he's modifying. in the case of games hes created i understand that. I mean this is all technically illegal, and we are just getting away on a grey area of something unenforced, because its such a small market that the company bean counters don't see a need to do anything about it yet. but infighting over who sells your illegal hacks is just absurd. I assume you make these with the hopes that others will be able to play games they otherwise wouldn't, for the community. The more people selling it, the more your goals are achieved.

     

    and just in an unrealted note, I've ordered hudreds upon hundreds of dollars worth of merchandise from hozer, and recieved it all within a timely fashion, and my thrust dc+ which i paid for about half a year ago (from TJ) I still have yet to see. Action speaks louder than words imho.

    even if unfinished, I still think it should be released. I really like the 'programming' style games, like ogre and the afomentined chipwits.

    I think it would be really interesting to see something like that on the old faitful 2600. I myself enjoy seeing, and when possible, owning glimpses of what might have been, and even what should not have been. :-) We are all video game archaelogists.
