Keatah Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Which VCS games involve radiation? I know of these right off hand: Meltdown Reactor China Syndrome ..but surely there are more.. Missile Command is a stretch, because you don't do anything with the radiation, it's only part of the story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 In Fatal Run, radiation is also part of the story. Same for Miner 2049er, Thunderground, Saboteur/The A-Team, Save The Whales, Thrust and Duck Attack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr SQL Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Space Shuttle, Space Attack, Star Raiders, Space Invaders... any space games or games with space sequences like Buck Rogers and Zaxxon where parts of the game are in space Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Jentzsch Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Are we talking about nuclear radiation only? Else almost every game comes to mind, there is radiation everywhere. BTW: How about Superman (X-Ray vision)? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keatah Posted December 17, 2016 Author Share Posted December 17, 2016 Nuclear radiation. EMF radiation like from CRT, wi-fi, phones, microwaves, doesn't count. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlayDoh003 Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 On the other hand, one could argue that when you lose in Missile Command, there's radiation everywhere, hence, "The End". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny thing is, not only have I grown to like Marvel since then, my avatar is technically a Marvel character. (Schoolhouse Rock is owned by Disney, who owns Marvel, which means Verb could have his own comic series.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+FujiSkunk Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Star Fox, arguably. From the manual: "The energy crystals have ionized the gases to such an extent that your horizontal drives will be useless: you may not be able to move left or right at low altitudes."
