c_t_f Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 I'd love to see a half-pinball, half-arcade game on the '2600, such as Baby Pac-Man or Granny and the Gators. A Boy and his Blob (the NES version) on the Atari would be a blast to play as well. @CTF@ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legend Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 a half-pinball half-arcade game would be awesome. I'd like ti see a breakout-pinball hybrid. Using paddles to controll flippers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbogfx Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Tempest Missile Command 2 And follow the people who would have liked to see paddle controller support for most racing and Space Invaders-style shooters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassGuitari Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 LIGHT GUN GAMES. A clay or target shooter, or some kind of zombie-mowing game. Qwak! (The '70s arcade gun game that Duck Hunt was based on) Death Race (could Indy 500 be hacked into this?) Space War with correct colors [outer space is black, not green, yes?] and 1-player Space War mode Football with 1-player mode Air-Sea Battle, Street Racer, Indy 500 with AI in 1-player games Video Olympics with 1-player variations of each different game type Paratrooper/Sabotage (W/ PADDLES! ) Choplifter Rogue Lode Runner Blue Max Tempest Galaga Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back (arcade) Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (if they did Double Dragon, they could do this) Doom (ever since I heard about the hoax, I though the idea was intriguing...and if a version of Halo is possible, I don't see why Doom shouldn't be) +1 on more SuperCharger tapes. Maybe some of the above could have been SC tape games? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny_boy Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 I think it would be funny and kinda awesome to see a "downport" of Pac-Man CE DX for the good ol' 2600. Why not, right? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schizophretard Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Space War with correct colors [outer space is black, not green, yes?] They should get rid of the sound too because there is no air in space. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rex Dart Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Space War with correct colors [outer space is black, not green, yes?] They should get rid of the sound too because there is no air in space. I think you can assume there's air in the ships. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianC Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 (edited) Space War with correct colors [outer space is black, not green, yes?] and 1-player Space War mode It has been done. No 1p, though. Air Sea Battle has some modes with computer AI. Commando Raid looks similar to Paratrooper/Sabotage (not sure how it compares gameplay wise, though).

BassGuitari Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Space War with correct colors [outer space is black, not green, yes?] and 1-player Space War mode It has been done. No 1p, though. Air Sea Battle has some modes with computer AI. Commando Raid looks similar to Paratrooper/Sabotage (not sure how it compares gameplay wise, though). Air-Sea Battle does have 1-player games, but the computer just fires constantly, without regard to a target's proximity, position, or direction, or to what you as a player are doing. Calling it "AI" is kind of a stretch, unless you put the word "brain-damaged" in somewhere. It's still pretty fun, though -one of my favorites, actually- even if victory over the computer is a foregone conclusion. Commando Raid is close to Sabotage, but it's not quite there. You can't spray ammo at stuff like you can in Sabotage. It doesn't use paddles, either (of course, neither did Sabotage), which I feel would be a great way to aim your turret. I'd love to have the bullets fly extremely quickly (since usually only one is allowed onscreen at a time) to create a "machine gun" effect and the illusion of really unloading on the enemy, ala the "machine gun" Biplane games in Combat, and use that (tracer rounds! ) as a visual method of aiming with the paddle. Commando Raid basically does this, but the rate of fire varies widely depending on what angle you're firing at. Commando Raid is a decent game in its own right, but having played other games like it and imagining what I think may have been possible with it*, it kind of leaves me wanting more. (*You tell me. I'm not a programmer, unfortunately.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GameGirl420 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 (edited) I'd like to see these games made for the 2600..... Tugboat Zoo Keeper Defend the Terra Attack on the Red UFO Secret of Nimh Black Sabbath (since they already have a game based on the band Journey, I always thought there should be a game based on Black Sabbath!) Super Bug Mappy Roc N Rope The Shining (Based on the movie.First level you're in the hotel. Second level you're in the maze like the final scene and you have to get away from Jack Nicholson.) Hard Drivin' Yie Ar Kung Fu Naughty Mouse Pac & Pal KISS: Destroyer (There should also be a KISS game. Why oh why wasn't there ever a KISS game? They were very popular around the time the 2600 first came out.) Edited January 17, 2012 by lushgirl_80 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bomberpunk Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 thinking outside the box here. how's about a game that produces no video. you play with audio cues and/or LEDs that light up on the ROM chip inside of a clear cart case (or no case). or how's about a freaken MONOPOLY variant that keeps track of the money & dice rolls, or displays Chance/Community chest it it's always shuffled.
