    Subterranea is one of the best on the 2600, but correct: no one seems to know about its existence...

     

    I always had a soft Spot for Pac-Man. In Germany only adults could enter Arcades and you could hardly find any Arcade Cabinets outside of those, so we all thought that the 2600-Pac-Man is the real Pac-Man. If you don't compare it to the Original, I think, it's quite good...

     

    Another Game, that's said to be really bad and that I like is Condor Attack. It's technically "sub-par" but gives simple and fast shooting fun - at least for me!

    Yes, Subterramea is one of the best shooters for the 2600".

    [As it is a german Book, I write this Post in German]

     

    Kann mir bitte jemand etwas genaueres über dieses Buch sagen, denn ich habe nirgends Infos darüber gefunden. Die bekanntesten deutschsprachigen Titel aus der Zeit sind ja Huffs "Handbuch der Videospiele" und Andersens "Spaß auf der Mattscheibe".

     

    Was ist der Inhalt von "Pac-Man und Co."? Geht es um hauptsächlich um Spiele und Konsolen oder ist es eher eins der damals so beliebten pädagogischen Abhandlungen zu dem Thema?

     

    Wäre nett, wenn mich da jemand aufklären könnte... ;)

    Eher eine pädagogische Abhandlung. Die hier dargestellten Spielevorstellungen waren ganz am Ende des Buches.

    Sonst gab es keine Kaufentscheidungshilfen oder ähnliches.

     

    Hatte einen ziemlich "intellektuellen" Anspruch - ging in Richtung Philosophie - ist ziemlich spät erschienen - vermute

    Herbst 1984. Den Inhalt hab ich damals kaum verstanden- ähnlich obskur wie Romane von Franz Kafka...

     

    Es gab Rubriken wie "Ping Pong bei Hertie" oder "The kids are allright".

    Hab noch irgendwo eine Kopie einiger Seiten rumliegen- damals in der Stadtbücherei kopiert.

    For me the C64 was a natural progression, as less software was coming for the Atari and the C64 was riding high I went out and got one, yes loading was slow but I got myself DolphinDos which used a parallel cable and custom roms which made it much quicker than normal but like the happy it wasn't much use with protected software as a loader, it did have a 15 second copier which was great. Gfx wise the C64 always looked washed out compared to the Atari but its sprites made up for that loss. Sound was a mixed bunch, effects noises like explosions all sounded the same and were normally very muted while the music was something I did like but it took a while before the tunes were well thought out and not just using the on board chip filters just for the sake of it.

     

    I enjoyed owning both and still play stuff on both as I do for my Amiga and numerous others machines , emulated or real.

     

    As regarding the Atari vs the C64, I never really got in to the "mines better than yours" type arguments, I just got the C64 because the games were on it and the Atari was coming to the end of its active sales life, developers here in the UK just were not interested in it, preferring to just bring in US licenses of what were old games to the community.

     

     

    The "washed out look" of the C64 games was the main reason that I loved my Atari VCS more than the Commodore- really!

    But there was one game I loved "International Soccer".

    I dont think its a good HSC game. Plain and simple. So I put better games in the voting.

     

    And to be honest: I dont have the feeling it makes sense to discuss with you. I spent a lot of time in our Star Strike discussion and it was completely wasted time, because you never even considered that your opinion is wrong. You also not even participated once, so your wanted games do not really have a big priority. Its still not rejected because you suggested it, its really rejected because I think it would be a bad choice, but I dont see any point in bringing arguments to you.

     

    And yeah, its probably arrogant, but I do this thing in my free time and I am not enjoying the conversations with you, so it kind of spoils my freetime.

     

    Just my honest thoughts on that.

     

    Is this for mr_me or Mister-VCS?

     

    Yes, you run the HSC in your free time - but you need players for the HSC,,,otherwise you are King Ignorama without a kingdom.

    Just make a poll which includes "Venture" and let the community decide- this is a major part of your moderating job.

    @Gernot: Huff war nicht generell gegen Ballerspiele- Voraussetzung das Spiel war gut gemacht und es gab eine "nachvollziebare" Hintergrundstory (siehe Robin Hood für

    VCS- kannst du im Buch nachlesen). Helge Andersen war da extremer- er hat dieses Spiel in der TeleMatch zerissen (Note 6).

     

    Natürlich war das alles sehr moralisch angehaucht - aber eben Meinungsstark und (nahezu) unabhängiger Journalismus (wenn es nicht gerade um Activision-Spiele ging). Da gab es eine Art Kooperation ("Empfohlen von TeleMatch").

     

    Die kurzlebige "Tele-Action" war der Gegenentwurf- eigentlich ein systemübergreifender Werbekatalog.
