Angry Birds.. for the 2600?

[WildBillTX]

I was playing the online version of Angry Birds (if you haven't played it: http://chrome.angrybirds.com/) and brainstormed "could a 2600 version be made of this?".

 

I'm not trying to troll here, just wanted to throw the idea out. It would have made a cool Activision game in the early 80's.

a hack of Human Cannonball, maybe....

[bomberpunk]

probably so. you'd just have to take the game mechanics from something like this, make it one-sided, at some little green oinking targets, and presto.

Human Cannonball. No need to port that Java rubbish.

I think it would be nice to have an angry birds hack for the 2600

My 500MHz Droid drops framerate every now and then when I'm playing Angry Birds. I'd hate to see what a 1.19MHz processor would look like. There's a lot of physics going on with all the birds, boards and particles in that little game.

It could be a simplified version, it wouldn't need the complicated physics and could still be fun.

 

You would need is a sprite for the birds, a sprite for the pigs and use the playfield for the boards. The boards might have to just break when they are hit rather than move.

 

If I get time I will try to make a demo in bBatari basic.

No doubt. IMO, Angry Birds might just be the most overrated game in history.

Haters...

 

I think it's a great game.

It is a great game. It would be cool to see a 2600 version, though it would probably be far inferior due to the killer physics engine that AB has.

Speaking of artillery games, there's a good history of these over at Armchair Arcade. The first artillery game I ever played was text based, so long ago that I can't remember what platform it was on.
