NES -> Atari 2600 port

[NES -> Atari 2600 port]

Wow! Looks like some good games will be coming out for the 2600 again this year! Not bad at all for a system that is over 25 years old!

No doubt. Silver_Surfer is doing the Super Mario game by doing a hack from Smurf: Rescue In Gargamel's Castle. There are pictures up in the Super Mario Bros. thread in the 2600 hacks forum along with info about the price and expected release date. The thread link is http://www.atariage.com/forums/index.php?s...opic=80471&st=0

[NES -> Atari 2600 port]

Hm.... i also think that Metroid should better be ported to the 7800.

 

Super Mario sucks so personally i can live happy without a 2600 version.

I really think there are more than enough of those "Mario" games on various systems...

 

a good donkey kong game for the 2600 would be nice.

There is Super Mario brothers game on the way for the 2600. It is called Super Mario: Resue in Browser's Castle.

 

Metroid does make sense to be a 7800. I do think a lynx version would be even better.

[NES -> Atari 2600 port]

I picked Dr Mario. Simple for the 2600 to handle.

[Super Mario: Rescue IN Bowsers Castle]

Is there any game music planned?

[Beef Drop, Qbert, Frogger, Tubes]

I'm having so much fun programming an RPG for the Colecovision, and I never could figure out an actual game to make out of Tubes, so it's on indefinite hiatus.

Try to give to another home programmer then. It should not be as bad as giving a rpg middle of development to another programmer.

[What Master System game is better?]

Alex Kidd in Shinobi World rocked.  If you were a fan of the original Shinobi you will love it.  As far as rarity is concerned, Castle of Illusion for SMS is probably identical to the Game Gear version.  Alex Kidd in Shinobi World was released solely on the SMS.

Thanks for the response, It helped me making my choice a little easier. I am a big shinobi fan. I enjoyed the original. I asked about Castle of illusion due to the praise the game got. The game it self is a 7 in the states in Digital Press rarity guide and it is much rarer the the game gear version in the states. I don't own game gear, and have no plans to due to the screen.

E.T. (Atari)

Don't buy that one without download a rom of it first. That is someones Guilty pleasure.

[What Master System game is better?]

I am asking because I got a chance to buy one them. I know that they have the same Rarity. They got the same rarity as another game I own, power Strike.

[Must have games]

Pitfall 2

Star Wars: The Arcade game

[Whats the worst game you heard of?]

Is Zero Wing on Genesis bad, or just the internationally-known Engrish?

990525[/snapback]

It is just known for its bad translation. People don't talk about the gameplay, graphics, and sound much about Zero Wing. There are different versions of Zero Wing have the same translation issue.

[Atari 26,52 & 7800 converter For Jaguar]

There would be a catch. There would have to be two converters or 2 cartridge slots the converter for the Jaguar. The shape of the 5200 cartridges are different then the 2600 and the 7800. The 5200 was able to play 2600 games because of the shape of Converter being put in. The converter has to a big slot for some of the 2600 games, unlike the 7800 model I have. The 5200 games wasn't able to fit in a 7800, so atari was rumored to have a atari 5200 adapter for the 7800 before Jack took over.

 

IF it is possible, there is the question of Jaguar Controllers could work on those games, or the controllers of the older systems can work with the jaguar. Also there is the price of making a converter.

[PC World Top 50 Gadgets past 50 years]

Why wasn't the Jaguar in there? 

989535[/snapback]

the Jaguar didn't that impact for making it. That list is screw up anyway. The Psp and or the Ds belongs on there. They look at Graphics first or something similar. Heck, you can make a case for the Lynx for being on there. It was the first system to have color.

[Portable ColecoVision: Would you buy this?]

I might. Ben Heckendorn would be the one to consider doing it.

[does a video light gun work for 7800?]

I saw one online. Besides if works for the 7800, how good is it in durability and accuracy?

[Is console Passion a good vender?]

I am wondering because I got money for Christmas. I am thinking of using this vender for getting Sega Master system games. I am thinking of using this as a 4th option. It is a uk vender. I did not see this on the atariages links page for dealers.

[Top 50 Gadgets in 50 Years Article]

I don't understand how the playstation is so high. They overhyped the system.

A another mystery is how the nes isn't on the list. The nes should be on the list not Jakks Pacific games. If the nes isn't on there because of the blinking,then the playstation 2 shouldn't be for dre. The Commodore 64 should by higher. I may not own one, but it is one of the reasons for the Video game crash. It was so advance compare to anything else at the time for games.

[Predict amount of Homebrew& hacks in 2006 for 7800]

I predict 6-10 homebrew and hack games. There were plenty this year with different Mrs. Pacman hacks, Combat 1990,Beefdrop,Frogger,q bert, asteroids hack, space war,Robotfindskitten.

[PC World Top 50 Gadgets past 50 years]

I am happy that the 2600 was there. There is one that I disagree with

1.) How Sony playstation 2 got at 11. Overated System with the over hyped "Emotion engine" plus having Dre issues throughout the systems life.

 

The nes not in the top 50. When it came out in 1985 it brought console gaming back along with graphics and depth in a game that wasn't on a game system prior. Itf its blinking caused it not being on there, it is a crock since the playstation 2 has its own issues.

[Did your game playing genres changed over time?]

Mine did. Before I owned a Sega Genesis, I was a sports,shooter, platform,beat'em up game player. After getting a genesis I became an action-adenture, platform, rpg, rpg-strategy,action rpg gameplayer with will my other genres mention. Since the32 bit era, sports games is not a major part of my game playing.

[PSP now has at least 250 UMD format movies]

Then don't buy any movies for it. It's as simple as that. As you can see from the list above, there are plenty of great games available for it.

989400[/snapback]

I don't believe speending $250.00 for a system along for game use only. I wait for Handheld and console systems before buying. That is how I got a Ds for Christmas because of Targets sale. I am not into playing sport games, or first person shooters. I play rpgs,old school shooters - like R-type& metal Slug,2d platforms, pinball, puzzle, company game collection like-Taito Legends. There are not that many I am interest in. I do own sony game systems, so i am not biased. If you mention that list I would of been more interested in about 12 or 15 years ago. I only see 3 or 4 games I would be interested.

[What is the best hand held/portable system?]

Glad to be a help.

[PSP now has at least 250 UMD format movies]

For me it is a bad thing. Sony depends on movies more then games on the system. I like my handhelds to play games not movies.

[I got a lynx for Christmas]
