boek Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Are there any good RPG-style games for the 2600? Is Crossbow any good? Don't mention any of the Swordquest games.... at least not EarthWorld or FireWorld. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwh Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Earthworld and Fireworld should be avoided,unless you like to be spectacularly disapointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cosmosiss Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Homestar Runner RPG was looking promising: As for completed games, I'll go with Dragonstumper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impaler_26 Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 There's also a very promising RPG-Style game in development: Dungeon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow460 Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Second vote for Dragonstomper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snider-man Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Second vote for Dragonstomper. Thirded. Lots to do too. Explore a sprawling overworld. Shop and explore the town. Work your way through the dragon's caverns. Then fight the massive beast itself. I loved this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classicgamingguy Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Can't go wrong with the classic Adventure game! That little blocky knight has some spunk going up against those ducks.........................er...........dragons. Rhindle is a major pain in the tush..

boek Posted May 23, 2008 Author Share Posted May 23, 2008 Dragonstomper for the Supercharger. Interesting! Now I wonder how hard it will be to find a Supercharger and Dragonstomper... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+remowilliams Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Fourthed for Dragonstomper. It's an amazing achievement on the 2600. Earth, Fire, and Waterworld are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow460 Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Dragonstomper for the Supercharger. Interesting! Now I wonder how hard it will be to find a Supercharger and Dragonstomper... Stella Gets a New Brain has it. My Starpath Supercharger ran me $40 shipped on ebay three years ago. I don't know what a standard Dragonstomper would sell for. If you've got really deep pockets, get Sword of Saros while you're at it. you get to collect items with various purposes, and you get to use the gold you've collected to bribe monsters later on.

boek Posted May 28, 2008 Author Share Posted May 28, 2008 Hm. Would it be impossible to make a game like Adventures of Link or Zelda II for the 2600? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vdub_bobby Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Hm. Would it be impossible to make a game like Adventures of Link or Zelda II for the 2600? Adventures of Link = Zelda II, so...? You mean a side-scrolling action RPG? Try Pitfall II, Montezuma's Revenge, Mountain King, Quest for Quintana Roo, ET , and Fathom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godzilla Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 I too will agree with dragon stomper. I found survival island pretty sweet, also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow460 Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 I too will agree with dragon stomper. I found survival island pretty sweet, also. Survival Island has is missing only one element of an RPG--leveling up. You don't really buy anything, either, but you do need to collect coins. I guess you can "level up" by collecting more water jugs or by getting all the items you need from the island itself. Of course, the game does redeem itself from this by spitting out pass codes after each stage so you can come back and re start any stage later on. I think it's a decent game, too. The only thing is that the island stage is long and frustrating unless you have a map. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godzilla Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 (edited) Yea, in a way, to me, the way, you as a player, learn to get better, learn what to do, which (even from the wreckage screen, once played better,) puts you on a better starting footing on the island (to, of course, how playing the island better lets you get further and further in the mazes,) is more like a real progressive 'levelling' of the player itself and in some ways even more RP immersive that the removed 'stat up my avatar' model. Also, it's barely seen anywhere (et & raiders also do it, I also consider them RPGs.) in development: there is also: http://www.atariage.com/forums/index.php?s...2625&hl=cie and its non-related, coming first rpg also http://www.atariage.com/forums/index.php?a...;showentry=1709 homestar is dead. long live the source code? (someone make a damn game with it! :-) http://www.atariage.com/forums/index.php?s...7755&hl=cie oh, also just found this. it seems to have a lot more info on cie and something called skyline, also a supposed rpg. http://www.atariage.com/forums/index.php?a...9&&st=0 Edited May 29, 2008 by Godzilla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vdub_bobby Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 That CIE thing is as far from development as a project can be. No updates for several months, no screenshots, no binaries, no nothing. s0c7's Dungeon and the source for HSR RPG are the only WIPs that I'm aware of.

Godzilla Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 well it's sure a lot more 'solid' than 2600 knight rider, to say the least but, yea, I know what you mean. A sprite on some random-looking mirrored playfield bits doesn't exactly scream 'rpg.' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majinbuu Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 how about Venture, it seems to have RPG elements to it. I haven't played much of the 2600 version, but the arcade version is great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littleman jack Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 If you like Venture, there's Venture II (a hack in the Atari Age Store) which is a bit harder, but has only two levels like the original, and Wolfenstein VCS: The Next Mission (also in the store). Wolfenstein VCS: The Next Mission is pretty amazing. It takes Venture and ramps it up about 1,000 times. There's a gun and bullets to collect, plus a knife. There are extra lives to collect. There are many more levels than in Venture, plus there's an extra hidden level at the end that can be found/unlocked. They're all worth trying, but the Wolfenstein version is much more developed than the first two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
