Vocelli Posted August 27, 2020 Author Share Posted August 27, 2020 (edited) We are getting close to the end. Next week (Most Likely Thursday) I will post the Homebrew games. These will be 3 games that have never been played in the HSC and give a brief spotlight on some Homebrews. It gives us a chance to support the Atari2600 Homebrew creators! It will be a 2 week competition! In the meantime, enjoy (at least try to enjoy) these hard Spider Games.

AtariWarlord Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Ah 2600 Spider-Man: a familiar old nemesis. Very clever to write an Amidar clone off as a spider game?. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roadrunner Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 (edited) Spiderdroid info here https://www.mobygames.com/game/atari-2600/spiderdroid Review from woodgrainwonderland.com Spiderdroid (Froggo, 1987) Well, I got duped again. Spiderdroid is a full-on hack of Parker Brothers’ Amidar and not a particularly good one at that. The control is particularly sluggish and inaccurate (the original wasn’t great on those counts, either, but they’re even worse here). Otherwise, just about everything else is the same, right down to the style of the score counter. The Froggo/Sancho group of companies were notorious for releasing poor games but at least they were original content most of the time – I never thought they would stoop to outright theft. I rated Parker Brothers’ Amidar a C+ but Spiderdroid gets an F for ethical reasons. Edited August 27, 2020 by roadrunner 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alena Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Did considerably better on Spiderdroid. 20 hours ago, fakecortex said: Man, and I have Amidar, dang. But since we're practically playing it... Yes, Cortex, same. But rules are rules, so... Now I'll try going for the +1 bonus 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogerpoco Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Spiderdroid-4,169 I've played this before, but not Amidar(I, uh, usually check out games with "Spider" in the title...), I think my PB is higher, on BB, but I just played a little freestyle to get on the board, I'll dig in some more soon. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogerpoco Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Lol, since we are on "Spiders", and have some South American competitors here, just thought I'd throw this out there... I'm so jealous of you Guys. Want an expensive Tarantula collection? Just go outside and find it!!! That's probably not exactly correct, but I do specialize in Tarantulas that typically occur in South America, "Avicularia" species(pink-toes)! This is technically off-topic, BTW, as Tarantulas are not "True Spiders". (Long story, you'll have to look that up.). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
