Dragonstomper for the Supercharger.

 

Interesting! Now I wonder how hard it will be to find a Supercharger and Dragonstomper... :ponder:

 

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.

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 :ponder:, and Fathom.

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.

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:

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.
