That's a REALLY good compilation... best ever I think....

 

Dangit it's only for PS/2 :-(

[Flojomojo]

Cupcakus, you need a PS2. Then you can play all these neo-classics like Ico, Rez, VF4, Kingdom Hearts, Mad Maestro, Wipeout Fusion, Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance, and lots more. It's true the machine doesn't have any "soul," but it's got so much software for it it's impossible to resist.

Baseball  

 

I wonder which "baseball" game they included? As far as I know, Neither Activision or Imagic released a baseball game!

[Flojomojo]

Hmmm, good point. Here's a screenshot, scanned from the manual (which is where I got that list).

[Klove]

That my friends is Pete Rose Baseball

[Flojomojo]

Hmpf, my memory is playing tricks on me. I thought for sure that PRB was a "red box" Atari game. Thanks, Ken.

[King Atari]

PSR was an Absolute game, I'm guessing Activision bought they're 2600 games up along with Imagic's.

 

What? No Double Dragon on that compilation?

[+Atarius Maximus]

Ahhh! That's Pete Rose baseball from Absolute Entertainment. I think Absolute was started by a guy from Activision.

Beamrider

 

I noticed this on the package, too, but that's incorrect. Beamrider was available on Activision's Commodore 64 15 Pack.

Perhaps they meant any previous Activision 2600 Compilation? If so, they should have been more explicit.

Not the 2600 version. I think that's a reasonable interpretation of "previously unreleased."

What? No Double Dragon on that compilation?      

 

I actually did a hack of Double Dragon (changing the title to Double Dukes) so it was definitely meant for release. I believe it was meant for download and was therefore lost when Internet connectivity was cut. As usual, if there's a problem, blame Sony!

 

Psst! Neanderthal tickler?

I wonder if Ken would consider releasing your hack on Activision's website.

I wonder if Ken would consider releasing your hack on Activision's website.

 

I really have a hard time believing that, with the online portion of the Anthology gone, Activision would freely put up any ROMs (hacks or not) on the company website. I am hoping that they do “officially” look the other way and allow AA and/or AtariProtos.com to release them.

Does anyone know why the Activision Anthology website is not accessable anymore? It is listed on the back of the case but when I try to access it, Apache comes back with a message that mentions that I do not have permission to access this server.

 

I understand that Sony nixed the idea of certain games being available from the website but why is the entire site now no longer available? Was it a matter that maybe they were busy when I made the request or is there more to it?

Sounds more like the site is down, and it being Sunday, no one's around to bring it back up

I couldn't access it when I tried on Friday.

activisionanthology.com hasn't been 'available' for quite a while. i went there many times in the last couple/few weeks thinking that was the place to get info about the game, but it had the 'permission' error. My guess, is that that is part of 'how' Activision is keeping the internet accessibility from the game cut out, in case they couldn't be 100% sure that the game code was disabled. kinda makes it difficult to have just an info site ^^.

Given that in this thread, Ken Love says to "Keep your eyes peeled for the Activisions web site", I think we can assume that it's not ready yet. Sony dicking them over concerning the online content most likely required a reworking of the site. I'm sure it will be up soon.

 

More grapes for your king!

5 years later.......

 

Is the Activision anthology site up yet?

[King Atari]

I actually did a hack of Double Dragon (changing the title to Double Dukes) so it was definitely meant for release.

 

Cool! Did you change anything else besides the title?

[sdstuff64]

This games just keeps getting better and better!First I knew I wanted it,then I found out it is only $30 and know i know how many good games are on it!I need $30 fast!

Nope. It looks and plays so little specifically like Double Dragon that it really could be any generic side scrolling beat-em-up, so no graphic changes were necessary. Whether changing the name was considered enough to pass legal muster, I don't know, but I did work on it and it was meant for some kind of release.

 

Well, I'll leave the romance up to you. Except, of course, for the orgy tonight.
