Thanks I doubt that any of these games were ever ported to the 2600. The system does not do vector graphics (see Tempest for an example), so Major Havoc is very definitely not available. Was Radar Scope every available on any home system? The 2600 does not do 3D very well either (see Zaxxon for another example) so it seems like unlikely to be implemented. Good luck with your search!

I know they were not ported , and i know about the vector graphics, and i know about the 3d. But if they aren't real , do you know someone who knows how to make atari games. I don't have the requirements to do it. Im on a mac now. If you know anyone who will like to make those games. Plz give me their contacts.

Lack of vector graphics isn't necessarily a problem, see Battlezone or Asteroids for example. Zaxxon isn't 3D, it's isometric, that's a type of game that the 2600 really struggles with. So games like Zaxxon, Crystal Castles, and Congo Bongo can't look like the arcade. Crystal Castles still looks kind of 3D on the 2600, but the perspective is completely different from the arcade.

doubledown Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 So you're just randomly asking for someone to make these arcade games, for the 2600, for you? Maybe try posting a request in the Atari 2600 Programming sections, or in the Wanted section in the Marketplace. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, every time I am feeling nostalgic for the old days I read through that thread. Good times. The whole Kinko's part makes me laugh every damn time.

retroeight Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 To ask someone to make a game for the Atari 2600 is not an easy task. How much are you willing to pay? I could knock one out for 5k and you will have all the rights to do anything you want with it. lloyd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
