Which RPG-ish Atari 2600 game would you like most on the ColecoVision?

[Pixelboy]

This is a poll just for the heck of it, because it's been rather quiet in the CV sub-forum lately.

 

Note that I use the term "RPG-ish" very loosely, as the Atari 2600 wasn't known for complex gameplay mechanics.

A single controller Raiders of the Lost Ark would be a drean come true. I wouldnt mind seeing any and all of them.

My Atarowg isn't on the list but I'd gladly port it over with a BASIC compiler of any sort

I couldn't make a full Adventure Creator type game in 7 days but a Coleco version could be VERY MUCH closer.

Well it's going to get busier because I just ordered an AV modded Coleco from Yurkie today!!

 

Honestly though I'd go for an Adventure and Adventure II combination cart

You are aware that Adventure has already been made for ColecoVision, right? That's why I didn't include it in the poll. Same goes for Escape From The Mindmaster.

Man! .....SwordQuest series all the way!!

With gold prizes of course!

I want Sea Quest! Its the best ever RPGish Game on the Atari 2600! It has a health bar/Oxygen level (all good RPGish games needs a health bar or Oxygen level) that goes down and you need to fill it up! You haft to collect (collecting is big part of RPGish games) divers to progress through the levels, plus when you get to max diver level you get a "ding"! All good RPGish games needs a "ding" when you hit max level! Plus Sea Quest has one of the "deepest" story's in Atari 2600 history!!! No other Atari 2600 RPGish game can say that!

 

Ok I really just want Sea Quest made for the Colecovision!!!!!

Well you are going to get Seaquest as soon as my work gives me a break Which may be very soon, most of our major projects are winding down for the year. Failing that I have the entire month of January off on leave, so we shall see then I have already made a start on it, just have had no energy after work to program Z80, have finished off my sprite editor though.

[+digress]

I voted for Raiders of the lost ark (Which I won several times) but I also played swordquest (Which I have never won) a lot. I would recommend both of them.

 

 

Sprite editor eh? Can you put in output to non compressed data as well as compressed so that way we can compress with different methods if need be. Daniel is just about finished with a new compression technique that might be interesting to include.

Doesn't look like it's available anymore :"(

Send Pixelboy a PM as he is taking requests for some second runs on his games.

Yes, but Quest for the Golden Chalice is not one of them. The final two copies are eBay-bound, and one of them is already up for auction.

Yeah it outputs uncompressed data in a couple of formats at the moment and/or you can cut and paste from the individual output. It would be very easy to add some more outputs. It's not perfect but works quite well, allows you to make two layered sprites and has shift, mirror and rotate functions.

I'll have a specific article on it shortly. It is windows only and .Net based.

I voted for Raiders of the Lost Ark, but if you had included Secret Quest in the list, I would have cast my vote there. That is one of the most underrated late releases in the 2600 library, IMHO.

You're right, I should have included Secret Quest! My bad...

Maybe you could sell the ROM after you sell off your last two carts?

Since E.T. is not on there, I voted for Raiders of the Lost Ark.

[+digress]

I actually alwayys liked E.T. for atari. I found it an interesting puzzel and arcade mix and have completed it several times. I never understood the hate.

Since E.T. is not on there, I voted for Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Haunted House? I voted for Raiders of the Lost Ark. Dark Chambers for second or third if HH was included.
