rietveld Posted June 13, 2022 Author Share Posted June 13, 2022 Am i being too critical? Or does this seem like a type in magazine game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cimerians Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 They do look like type-in games. I never really liked any of them, Sir Lancelot was kind of like joust but not nearly as fun and quite clunky. Robin Hood looked pretty interesting but wasn’t. Never got a chance to play the other games but heard 'meh' things about those too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEFF31 Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Don't remember them all but Artillery Duel was 'good'. The others not so much as i recall 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youki Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Motocross racer was pretty good i think. Simple but fun , as far i remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digress Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 I really like chuck norris & artillary duel. We had a lot of fun with them doing flip back kicks & two player artillary duels. They were as fun as many other games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIAD Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Considering how much one can make by selling them, especially CIB and for those that bought them circa 1985 from the Bargain Bins for $5… they are a lot of fun and help subsidize one’s retro collecting. All kidding aside, I like Artillery Duel, Sir Lancelot is a poor man’s Joust and Motocross Racer is decent. Some like It’s Only RnR, but the rest I consider a hot mess.

Captain Cozmos Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 I played Chuck Norris till my hands tired out thinking that there was an actual ending. If there is I have yet to find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Gemintronic Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Holy cow! I didn't know Xonox made Coleco double enders. Which games did they put on the Coleco versions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schuwalker Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Ghost Manor is one of my personal favorites by Xonox. Unfortunately, for some reason, they never opted to do a Colecovision port. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artillery Duel / Chuck Norris MotoCross Race / Tomarc the Barbarian Robin Hodd / Sir Lancelot The first is easier to find the other two are harder to find in my hunting 20 years ago...

When an Atari 2600 game needs an instruction book there are problems. When it needs a comic book ala sword quest then there are issues. When you don't know what the hell you are doing without a guru then the world will end as we know it. This is coming from someone who played Superman and Worm War for hours on end.

I'm not sure I understand your issues with instruction manuals. I do agree with your Swordquest point but that entire games series has issues within itself. I don't think Ghost Manor wasn't really that convoluted... especially if you figured out the gameplay of Superman sans instructions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
