Online Atari 2600 Label Maker : Now with Silver Labels

[Online Atari 2600 Label Maker : Now with Silver Labels]

I always like the red labels more. However, if it would be possible I'd like to see a Parker Bros label. Granted it would be more difficult b/c the text was more graphical than atari games.

[Worst Graphics On The 2600?]

I'll blaspheme here and say Adventure. You're a square and to quote StrongBad, "Somebody get this freakin' duck away from me!"

[Which Atari 2600 character has the greatest DEATH scene?]

I don't know how many hours I wasted as a child just running the guy in Berzerk into the walls to watch him fry. When I got my 2600 for xmas a few years ago that was the first game I popped in and I still giggled at it.

 

is

[Dragin' out the Fire]

Totally agree with you on all points Tig. The game is one of the classics that I'll always remember from my early childhood (along with Pitfall II and Alpha Beam with Ernie). The replayablity is just superb.

 

On topic, I've never seen anything higher than the white dragon. What are the colours again? It's been a long time since I've plugged anything into my Atari.

 

I remember (in no particular order) green, red, blue, purple, black, and white.

[Which company do you prefer?]

I love both as well and was about to push the Activision button but decided that Imagic was just a smidge better. Maybe it's more nostalgia than anything but I love Imagic games.

[Berzerk Comic]

OOO I like those pictures. Much more of what I was looking for than what the comic had. Thanks a lot!

Ah ha!

 

Thanks Al, you da man.

[Berzerk Comic]

Hey all... I was checking out some box scans for some references to drawings I'm working on and noticed that Berzerk came with a comic. I looked at the comics page and didn't see it there. Does anyone have one? If so, could you scan it? I'd really like to see what it was.

 

Thanks,

[The ending of Porkys]

How do you not get hit by anything and still make it down below Porky's so you can get to the girls' shower?

[Homestarrunner RPG. Any word?]

If I remember correctly...

 

The Brothers Chap (HSR guys) actually wrote the story for the game and are totally in cahoots with the project. The problem lies with, what else, atari. A lot of the monsters/bad guys you fight in the game were going to be Atari characters. I don't think Atari much cared for that and got in a huffy about it. Thus, work was halted until either permission could be obtained or some reworking of the story could be made.

[Desert Falcon NTSC? or PAL only?]

Meh.. keep it closed... It might actually have some value then.

 

It is very much an NTSC release. It was one of the first games I got when I got my 2600 a few years ago. I made it to the sphinx a few times and beat it once. That was good enough for me. I just really don't like the game at all.

[2700]

Is anyone besides me automatically suspicious these days when someone with an extremely low post count announces that they have (or better yet, someone they know has) an extraordinarily rare item?

I'm with ya. Of course I don't really trust anyone. Especially not here (no offense anyone) after the Flexured/Airworld incident.

[NO EXCUSE for not buying a Flashback 2.0]

Why am I not going to buy it?

 

I already have a 2600. My gramma's from way back in the day, a heavy 6er. It plays my 100+ games b-e-a-utifully. I can use that $30 on something else, too. I can buy anywhere up to 120 new Atari carts with that (though that'd be mostly commons I already have). I could pay part of my rent for next year. A few good CDs. Plenty of other useful stuff out there that I could buy. I have a 2600 and I don't think it's going kaput on me any time soon.

 

The last reason I'm not buying it is b/c I don't want to support this "Atari." It's just a re-hashing of the games I already own. You say they worked hard to bring this to us. They put a few roms that other people programmed years ago into a moulde. Big woop. I dunno, I just really don't see the need for all this hoopla when most of the people on here do indeed love the 2600 and like the real deal. I know I prefer that over this 40-in-1 thing.

[Rolling Thunder]

RT was one of the first games I picked up for my NES. I remember playing it back on my original NES and rediscovered it via emulation. Definitely a must have and hard as hell.

[How many collect NES]

My NES collection is drastically different from my Atari one. The games I have for it (only about 20) are all games that I really enjoy playing. I can't say the same for 120+ 2600 games I have. But I collect it nonetheless and enjoy it.

 

is

[dragonfire!!!]

B-E-A-utiful game. Definitely one of my favourites from back in the day and one I typically pull out when I play these days. It was repetative but it was also pretty challenging. I give it an A++

[Systems that just arnt worth it]

Get a Genny controller if your hands hurt so bad, I know its not the same, but it is a solution.

 

-kemsted

 

There are numerous 3rd party joysticks that are easier to grip and handle too.

 

And speaking of uncomfortable controllers, I hate the ones for xbox. It's like trying to hold one of those old Thermos lunchboxes. I have fairly good sized hands and long fingers, but man... those things are tough to handle IMHO.

[Systems that just arnt worth it]

And the n64 well......The systems has 0 good fighters and not 1 shooter good or bad.  

 

Apparently you never played Super Smash Bros., Perfect Dark, or Goldeneye.

According to them... he's quite alive.

[What are the "Must Have" titles for NES?]

I agree with most of them so far. I'd just like to add Final Fantasy and Rolling Thunder. Oh and can't forget Lifeforce, it's an awesome shooter.

[Desert Falcon is pure crap!]

Desert Falcon was one of the first games I got when I got my VCS a few years ago. I got it complete and shrinkwrapped for christmas. I can totally relate with sandmountainslim on this one. While there are some cool things about this game (ie the glyphs) I just found it too difficult to get through a board w/o getting smashed. I think I've only beaten the Sphinx once. Trying to line up a shot in this game is just beyond me I guess. Not all bad, but I would rather use my VCS time playing something else.

[Reactor is actually fun with the right controller]

When I read the topic I thought you plugged it into the other port and was wondering how it worked. I've kept an eye out for a track ball but have yet to see one around these parts. Good score on finding it and thats not a bad score for Reactor either. Personally I don't think I ever got it above 5,000 if even that much.

 

is

[Anyone familiar with Reactor?]

It's been a while since I played but if I remember correctly, you can drop a decoy which attracts the other dots that are flying around trying to hit you or whatever. You can use it as a means to knock them into the wall. I guess the number just tells you how many decoys you have left. Hope that helps.

 

is

[All time favorite RPG]

 I'm guessing I'm in the minority here.

 

Yeah, pretty much...

I've played FF from 1-7 and MQ. I felt gipped that Christmas when we got MQ and after I played it. Good game to get started on but it really lacked any depth what-so-ever.

Anywho, I think that my fave RPG of all time might have to be FF IV (II SNES). It was my first and I really love the story and the characters.

 

Destiny of an Emperor and FF1 also come to mind.

And how would you classify games like Zelda? I consider Zelda II (as well as Castlevania II) to be somewhat RPG-ish. You gain levels, travel about from town to town. I consider them action RPGs. What about you guys?
