Christophero Sly Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 Nop, I don't think Keystone Kapers makes it on the list.... I didn't think so, I just vaugley remembered playing an arcade game with the same premise, i.e., cops chasing robbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Nathan Strum Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 I threw this together... This is a list of "Official" ports of arcade games for the Atari 2600. "Official" in this case is defined that: the company that released the game had the legal right to do so, and used the same name as the original arcade game. This list is based on the one Snider-Man posted to http://www.atariage.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=18305 , which was an edited-down version of a cartridge list borrowed from a now-defunct website. I cleaned it up a bit, went through a few relevant threads (including http://www.atariage.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=17112) to double-check for missing games, and picked up some additional info from AtariProtos.com. I also went through Atari Age's 2600 game listings and the KLOV, to see what else needed adding or editing out. For this list, I only included games that had a direct arcade counterpart, as described above. In the case of some other games, they were based on games that other companies had produced, or had been produced for the arcade under different names. These games are not currently included. Some examples: Arcade version: 2600 version: Atari/Kee Games Sprint 2 Atari Indy 500 Atari Drag Race Activision Dragster Bally/Midway Clowns Atari Circus Cinematronics Space Wars Atari Space War Sega Deep Scan Sega Sub/Scan And so on. Even though most games of this sort are pretty obviously based on specific arcade games, this can get pretty fuzzy if you start including stuff like Activision's Megamania being based on Sega's Astro Blaster. At some point, I may make up an addition to this list including some of these games. I also removed duplicate listings, such as Atari's re-release of some of Coleco's games. Only the original publisher is listed. Also removed are games with titles similar to arcade games, but having nothing to do with them (Gauntlet, Krull, Tron Deadly Discs, etc.). Also not included in this list are hacks or Homebrew games. I only included games that were official versions of arcade games. If a Homebrew author secures the official rights to produce an arcade port, I'll add it to the list. Prototypes are listed separately at the end. Disclaimer: This list is almost certainly incomplete, and probably contains a whole bunch of errors. Such is life, and the internet.

Inky Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 I still cannot get over what a good job they did on the Sinistar proto. I would like tat on a cart. My only gripe is that it seems impossible to defeat the Sinistar, but they captured the essence of the game nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZylonBane Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 It's not impossible. Although, it seems much more difficult in the more-complete version with functional sprite multiplexing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inky Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 It's not impossible. Although, it seems much more difficult in the more-complete version with functional sprite multiplexing. That's the one I'm playing. Maybe the people who put the voice on Berzerk could put it on Sinistar also? I'd love to hear 'Run Coward' coming from my 2600!

Adriana Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 Sears Steeplechase was an arcade port? Uh... I don't think so. Really? And Elk Attack may have been based on Electric Yo-Yo, but it wasn't an arcade translation, just as Megamania wasn't an arcade translation of Astro Blaster.

mos6507 Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 Sears Steeplechase was an arcade port? Uh... I don't think so. Really? Atari released a Steeplechase arcade machine prior to it that was very close to the Search game for the 2600. It supported 6 players and the only control was a single jump button, whereas the 4 Atari 2600 players can also use the paddle to control the height of their jumps. http://www.klov.com/game_detail.php?letter...=S&game_id=9787 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Nathan Strum Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 *cough* Double-listing on Roc 'n Rope. Oopsie. I'll fix that. (Had Venture on there twice, too.) And I thought Elk Attack was 100% homebrew? Well, according to this page, it was an unreleased Atari prototype. Whether or not is was actually intended to be a licensed port of Electric Yo-Yo is a guess. But given how close of a copy it is, and the unlikelihood of Atari releasing a game called Elk Attack with no elks in it, I would suspect that was the plan.

+Nathan Strum Posted March 29, 2003 Share Posted March 29, 2003 Sears Steeplechase was an arcade port? Uh... I don't think so. Really? I don't know how else to classify it. It was certainly based on the arcade game. It has the same basic gameplay, and the same name. It's as close as most of their other arcade to home translations. I think it counts the same way Night Driver or Outlaw would. Here's the Atari arcade version of Steeplechase (1975): http://www.klov.com/game_detail.php?letter...r=&game_id=9787 And the Atari 2600 version of Steeplechase (1980): http://www.atariage.com/software_page.html...wareLabelID=508 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE146 Posted March 29, 2003 Share Posted March 29, 2003 yeah.. I'd say steeplechase is a definite arcade port... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Nathan Strum Posted March 29, 2003 Share Posted March 29, 2003 That's exactly the list that I was trying to do!Do you have a webpage with this list? Nope. Just the text file. If someone wants to use the list for a website, they're certainly welcome to do so. Perhaps I'll put one together at some point, but I don't have any real plans for that right now.
