Question : is there a 2600 steampunk video game ?

[nopseudoidea]

Hello !

 

First excuse me for my bad english, I'm French so I have some problems with this language ^^

 

I was wondering, as a fan of this universe, if there exists a steampunk video game on the Atari 2600 ?

At least is there a list of all the 2600 game covers, allowing me to see if there are steampunk elements in them ?

 

Thanks,

Besides the obvious Wells and Verne, wasn't the whole Steampunk scene from the late eighties?

 

IFAIK The Chaos Engine was the first Steampunk video game:

Thanks for The Music Machine !

 

Is this the only steampunk game on the 2600 ?

As far as I know, there are none.

 

 

Steampunk: The Movie didn't even come out until 1999.

I know what steampink is, and I thinking it has a neat concept and following.

 

What elements of a game would you be expecting to have steampunk characteristics? Do you have other example games?

LOVED amiga chaos engine....

[Rom Hunter]

Yes, Brilliant game.

 

IMO better than Chaos Engine 2.

 

Loved Banshee on the AGA too.

man the amiga had some awesome scrolling shooters that I LOVED. hybris, sidewinder, xenon 2,

blood money, agony, project X, battle squadron, swiv, etc.

LOVED the music, too. IIRC I had trouble getting banshee to work on my a4000....

A 2600 Steampunk Game.

 

This might be a stretch here, but here's some ideas:

 

Time Pilot

Frankenstein's Monster

Secret Quest (maybe)

I'll admit I had to look up the definition of steampunk... fascinating genre. I always thought it was just some goggle fetish candy kids were into. I cannot think of any Atari games that would fit the definition, but perhaps the homebrew community can fill this gap. Maybe an airship piloting game requiring you to maintain steam levels without blowing your boiler.
