jasonbar Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 I brought in my 2600 (atari2600.com mod for S-Video output) to work today & played some Warlords & Video Olympics on the huge projection screen. It was great. Is there a list of other 4-player paddle games somewhere? Thanks! -Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deteacher Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 The ones I know of are: Video Olympics/Pong Sports Street Racer/Speedway II Breakout/Breakaway IV Warlords/Medieval Mayhem Blackjack plays up to 3 players. I'm sure I'm missing some of them. If I think of any others, I'll add them later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow460 Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Yup, Party Mix supports four player simultaneous action. Four players can take turns on some others: Communist Mutants from Space Decathlon Fireball Also note there are some two player simultaneous games like Space Invaders, Maze Craze, Fishing Derby, and Slot Racers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.J. Franzman Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 The ones I know of are: Video Olympics/Pong Sports Street Racer/Speedway II Breakout/Breakaway IV Warlords/Medieval Mayhem Blackjack plays up to 3 players. Just a note for those who don't know better: The first three pairs of titles above are Atari and Sears versions of the same exact game. The fourth pair is Atari's version of the arcade game, and a recent, vastly improved homebrew version by SpiceWare. Also, Casino is an improved version of Blackjack (both by Atari) which supports up to 4 players and includes several poker games. Finally, the Epyx "Games" series (Summer Games, Winter Games and California Games) all support 1-8 players taking turns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toymailman Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Steeplechase is one that supports 4-player simultaneous horse racing. GI Joe Cobra Strike can have three going at once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SpiceWare Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 If you enjoyed Warlords, check out Medieval Mayhem, my take on it. It includes the launch dragon, multiple fireballs, etc. It even takes advantage of the stereo output from your atari2600.com modded system. My site has some videos of the game in action, ROMs to download and try out on an emulator(though be warned that a mouse makes a poor substitute for a paddle), and some other info. If you like what you see you can get a cartridge of it from AtariAge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonbar Posted December 5, 2007 Author Share Posted December 5, 2007 (yes, I should've been more specific--I was looking for 4-player *simultaneous* games--thanks for your thorough replies!) I just ordered Medieval Mayhem & am hunting down a GI Joe cart. Is Steeplechase actually any fun? -Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm starting with Spacedesign next week here in Houston. Very cool. We've got a brand new conference room that they just built & haven't used yet. Doesn't even have chairs yet. But it's got a sweet projector that takes S-Video input! :] -Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonbar Posted December 18, 2007 Author Share Posted December 18, 2007 My coworkers & I fired up Medieval Mayhem after work on Friday. WOW!!! Much more fun than Warlords. Lots of options to customize gameplay. Multiple fireballs are great. Music is cool & catchy. All around, much more fun than basic Warlords--thanks for making such a keen game! Well worth the money! -Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel so dirty... ;] This will balance out the scathing reviews of my Panasonic VCR/DVD-writer I put up today--I'm karmically balanced now! :] -Jason PS--the review didn't show up--is there a delay to make sure I didn't use a plethora of curse words?

+SpiceWare Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Thanks! I think Al has to approve reviews before they get posted. It's there now. I've started reviewing homebrews in my blog, then posting them in the store about a week later. They're temporarily on hiatus until January due to the new job and something else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
