    In your opinion, what's the best Apollo game?

    in Atari 2600

    I owned Shark Attack, Infiltrate, Final Approach and Wabbit back in the day.  Out of those four, my favorite was Shark Attack.  It has the tricky maze maneuvering that was frustrating sometimes but I liked the unpredictability of the shark and Nessie.  Infiltrate was ok for short bursts.  I really wanted to like Wabbit but found it kind of dull.  Graphics were good though.

     

    I bought Final Approach for my dad since it was a more relaxed title that I thought he would enjoy, much like Bowling and Bridge, that he only played. We ended up both hating it.

    Atari 2600 ports

    in Atari 2600

    Posted

    Just consoles only?  Because there are many ports to the 2600 from arcade games to computer systems.  Almost all of the M-Network games are ports of Intellivision games, but many of them are renamed i.e. Super Challenge Baseball instead of Major League Baseball.

    I love Dancing Plates

    Got this game titled Dishaster at the Northridge mall in California that was in a large bin of games, along with Tanks But No Tanks. I should have gotten Tanks instead. Dishaster is appropriately named. Pretty yawn-inducing and I can easily roll the score.

    Help! Stuntman or Nightmare?

    in Atari 2600

    Posted

    I used to have this game after I bought it at a Kaybee's store in the Northridge mall. I thought it was pretty fun, except for the annoying music. Here is a link for many Atari 2600 game manuals, including Stuntman:

     

    http://www.thevgatv.com/styled-3/

     

     

    That third screen is difficult, but doable. You have to grab the string of every balloon to change them into demon faces. Once they are all changed, you go to the helicopter to complete the level.

    Scavenger Hunt by Amiga - could've been reworked Sneak 'n Peek?

    in Atari 2600

    Posted

    I was looking at the Atarimania website and the entry for Scavenger Hunt - http://www.atarimania.com/game-atari-2600-vcs-scavenger-hunt_22403.html

     

    The ad, with the exception of Scavenger Hunt, show all U.S. Games carts, Name This Game being retitled Galleon's Gold. This makes me wonder if Scavenger Hunt was going to be a reworked Sneak 'n Peek game. The pic shows outside the house which could be a modified picture of the Sneak 'n Peek opening screen.

     

    Probably would have made it better than the original. Any thoughts?
