Ranthulfr Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Now that we have cool ports of games like Ladybug, Halo, and Boulder Dash, what other games would you like to see on the Atari 2600? I'm thinking of: * Rally X * Alien Syndrome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GameGirl420 Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Zookeeper!!!!! Also a port of Defend the Terra Attack on the Red UFO would also be nice. Rare arcade game from '79.... Also... Cosmic Alien,Super Bug, Canyon Bomber, and ....Tugboat(lol I used to love playing that game at Chuck E Cheese.) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Donkey Kong 3 would be nice to see on the 2600. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFL Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Galaga 90. My favourite shmup of all time. I reckon the 2600 could do a fair approximation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zach Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Zork. Interface with standard controllers is a problem though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
high voltage Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 scramble. i know we got super cobra, but i always loved scramble more 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFL Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Ooh, Scramble! Now there's game. I'd love to see that too. Not so sure about Zork... The text display would kill your eyes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tremoloman2006 Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Here are titles I think the 2600 could handle and would love to see created someday: In no particular order: Armor Attack Frenzy Indy 4 Jumpman Pac & Pal New Rally-X Pepper II Rally-X Star Castle* Tetris Zookeeper * I know there is 1 copy of this available but I'm not a millionaire and can't afford it.

iesposta Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 • Armor Attack • Star Castle But not Mappy, can't be done, nope, no way... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brojamfootball Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 • Armor Attack • Star Castle But not Mappy, can't be done, nope, no way... Mappy would be great on 5200, or 7800. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inky Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 , Canyon Bomber Canyon Bomber is already on the 2600. I love the game for some reason. Star Castle* Star Catle, IIRC isn't on the 2600 (unless there's a homebrew I am unaware of), plus Yar's Revenge started out as Star Castle. Tetris There are many homebrew clones available for the 2600 Zookeeper There's a rumor floating around that the 2600 Zookeeper proto has been found. At any rate the sound FX for the 2600 version have been dumped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VectorGamer Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 I think for best quality the games suited for the VCS are those released in the 70s and up to about '80 and to a lesser degree '81. Most of the ones Lushgirl mentioned along with stuff like Magical Spot II, Cheeky Mouse, Mad Alien, Death Race and Satan of Saturn. Games like Zoo Keeper - I just don't see how that would fly on the 2600. I'd rather see that on a console with more machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bomberpunk Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Bomberman. and I think with the Boulderdash engine, it's VERY possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maiki Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 I would suggest the Monaco GP (Sega, 1979) - I think that game might work really well on 2600. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+LS650 Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 The Vectrex version of Armor Attack is great... I wonder if the 2600 could do as good a job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+thegoldenband Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Let's see, a few games come to mind: Fire Truck Fire Truck Fire Truck Oh, and Fire Truck too. Otherwise, Tron seems like the big one to me, with the driving controller in port 2 (or some kind of custom controller). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cvga Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Jumpman and Bomberman would be awesome! How about Doodle Jump? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Usotsuki Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Doubt Zork'd work on a 26. With a 78XM and XEGS keyboard...almost certainly doable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
high voltage Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Could be done like a mini-Zork which was available on cassette for the C64 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gooner73 Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 I would love bombjack and food fight, i reckon the 2600 could do decent enough renditions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xybot67 Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Donkey Kong 3 would be nice to see on the 2600. You might want to check this out. http://www.atariage.com/forums/topic/168376-donkey-kong-3/page__hl__dk3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
