24Fanatic365 Posted July 22, 2015 Author Share Posted July 22, 2015 Discovered LEAD last night. Made it to level 4 just now with a score of 1047. This game is pretty amazing. Looks like something Imagic would put out today if they were still around...

Skippy B. Coyote Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 (edited) After finally getting a copy of H.E.R.O. yesterday, the misses and I spent a good couple hours taking turns playing it and continually trying to top each other's high scores today. We definitely get why so many people consider this to be one of the best games on the 2600! It was an absolute blast to play and very hard to put down. It was one of those games that kept us both saying "Just one more game!" to see if we could make it one level further into it. And oh, in case you're curious, the misses is currently in the lead with a high score of 74,335 on Level 13. At this point I'm still stuck on Level 12, with my highest score being 68,890. Guess I'll just have to try again tomorrow! Edited July 22, 2015 by Jin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GameGirl420 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 (edited) Q*Bert hasn't left the slot on my main 4-switch woodgrain 2600 in weeks. Love the sounds in that game as well as the gameplay. Also really love Carnival, Demons to Diamonds, Haunted House, Chase the Chuckwagon, Video Olympics,Solaris,etc...

stopXwhispering Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I've recently discovered Cosmic Ark by Imagic for the 2600, loving it!! Their Atlantis game is also pretty cool ^_^ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1982VideoGames Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Spent an hour last night playing Missile Command, Yar's Revenge, and Defender. In the early 80's when 2600 Defender came out I thought it was the coolest thing. Spent a lot of time over a couple of summer's off playing it. Still love it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+DrVenkman Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Considering I still, many decades later, cannot seem to get a sub-6.0 second time in Dragster for the current Activision Patch Summer Challenge, I bagged on that and played Space Rocks and then went to an all-time arcade classic, Gyruss. Man, that game still holds up! It desperately cries out for a homebrew with enhanced graphics and sound effects using the DPC/DPC+ type kernels in use these days, but even so, the gameplay just can't be beat.

Yeah, I've yet to accomplish a successful launch in Dragster without blowing up the car. Guess I don't grasp the play mechanics AT ALL! Lol! I really enjoy playing both Space Rocks & Gyruss, though, and I completely agree a homebrew Gyruss is definitely in order!

24Fanatic365 Posted July 25, 2015 Author Share Posted July 25, 2015 (edited) Pac-Man Arcade Enhanced is a fairly amazing version for the 2600. I accidentally started on the purple flower alien fruit stage, as I didn't hit reset after I died on the first play, and got 51,090 points. I only got like 41,000 on my first game, so it seems like the later stages let you rack up points a lot faster than the earlier ones do. And then a slight score improvement at 76,420.

+Cafeman Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Enduro I always enjoy watching how Enduro players handle days 7 and on. You had a number of great diagonal sneaks through cars on day 7 fog scenes. But then it all fell apart in Day 8 of course. I played some 2600 and 7800 homebrews last night. On the 2600 side, played Juno First, Climber 5, and Adventure Plus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will rev up your rpm's and give you a little boost when you drop back down into 4th. not a surefire way to get under 6 but it helps.
