Open-world, free-roam exploration games

Also couldn't find Duck Attack if anyone has more info on that one as well.

Man, I wanna make a Doom 2600 game...

 

Like this one?

 

Doom (2011) (Mr. Podoboo).bin

"I'm not sure if it qualifies as "open-world" but it does have one Dungeon with 256 levels with each floor being comprised of 256x256 rooms."

 

Sounds pretty damn openworld to me

 

EDIT: Thanks for the DUCK attack and Doom links Cookie Master! Time to hit up Stella and play all these great games. I'm just recently finding out about Halo 2600, Ature, and others so I've got some work to do.

Would Private Eye by Activisiom be considered open world?

I don't think I've seen anything that qualifies as open world on an Atari 2600. At least not in the modern console GTA style sandbox gameplay kinda way. Due to memory and storage constraints 2600 games rely heavily on static levels and few things to keep track of.

 

My Destiny game tries sneaky compromises to get the feel of an open world game. For instance, some rooms have rings in them. If you see a ring in a certain room it stays there no matter how far or what floor of the dungeon you trek to. HOWEVER, if you pick up a ring EVERY ring on EVERY floor in EVERY room gets warped to a different location.

Skateboardin' is free-roaming by Atari 2600 standards. I like that one.

Adventure. Most famous Atari game when I was growing up. Very open-world. Am I wrong? (:

Outside of Adventure, what open-world games are there for the 2600? Is there anything with a relatively expansive exploration field?

 

I know these types of games weren't common in the early 80s, but I'm curious if there's some hidden gems in the 2600 library.

 

Thanks!

What a great question!  

 

Here is my list of Open World, Free Roaming Adventure games for the Atari 2600.

More categories such as Indoor Adventures, Walking Path Adventures and more.  May help to explain why I didn't include certain games such as Haunted House and Pitfall! in the list of Open World, Free Roaming Adventure Games.

What do you guys think of my lists?
