Atari 2600 on Elementary

[RobR]

I saw an ad for tonight's episoce of Elementary. From what I cam gather, the detectives must finish a game to get a clue. Having never seen this series, I can't give any more info, except to say the episode title is called The Games Underfoot. I plan on watching it (or recording it and watching it tomorrow. I'll report back after I watch it and let you know what I thought.

Thanks for the heads up just flipped it on.

It would be cool if there was enough shown for someone to homebrew a version of it (with box and such) if it doesn't actually exist. Or, if the higher-ups at CBS had the brains to offer that game on their cbs.com sight. But then it would also be cool for them to hack the old Superman game into a Supergirl version, right?

I didn't have a chance to DVR it, but I'll go on Bittorent and see if I can download it and watch it. I really want to see this episode!

If you have Primetime On Demand on cable, it's already on there (CBS).

Try CouchTuner. We don't have cable or satellite, and use CouchTuner to keep up to date on all of our current shows. And as a bonus, it's free! Lol!

 

I'll have to check this episode out later today if it's up on the site. Elementary is one of my wife and my favorite shows.

They did show a fair amount of gameplay on the episode, as well as a bit of the box.

Wonder if there is another landfill around where Atari might have buried an UNFINISHED / NON-RELEASED game!

[Brian R.]

They definitely incorporated Atari, ET and the landfill dig into the story.

 

The names were changed - Atari became EmeryVision, and ET became Nottingham Nights. And the landfill wasn't in New Mexico.

 

They did show a 2600/VCS, but it was somewhat disguised.

 

The game graphics looked authentic, like what a real homebrew might look like, but I have no idea how they accomplished that.

 

And there was a twist or two to the story, of course.
