What Game should Tailz be Playing?

[TailChao]

A quick poll, in Zonik, in between each level there is a "waiting room" where you can spend some rings to get some repairs or extra lives, and then pass on to the next level. Tailz and Knucklez are sitting in front of a 2600, tails is playing it, since I've never been much of a 2600er I've decided to let the people of Atariage Decide what Tails should be playing. Any APPROPRIATE 2600 game is fine (No General Custard Alike stuff ) the first game to get 16 votes from different people will be chosen, thanks!

how about "YAR REVENGE" it is fun and challenging

[Stingray]

Combat

[Rocko]

Man, I wish I could program like you! (I havent had time for the tutorials yet). I say maybe Yars revenge.

[joeybastard]

Space Invaders. It's what really made people notice the VCS.

[Mike OC]

ADVENTURE!!!!!

 

You could limit the choices to one player games only. Is there a possibility of posting a screen shot of the winning game being played?

[Stingray]

I was under the impression that since they are both sitting in front of it, it should be a two player game which is why I chose Combat.

Pong, or better yet. . . JoustPong

[Jess Ragan]

Why, MegaMania, of course!

I also whipped up a mock picture of Sonic on the 2600 which might come in handy. Let me know if you want it and I'll send it off to you.

I vote for H.E.R.O.

[Jess Ragan]

I've got a better idea. Make a parody of Pitfall! using Moycon's character Pitfall Hairy. It's about time we actually saw him in a video game.

Might take a while to get 16 votes for one game. I'm voting for Indy 500.

[AtariDude]

Warlords so that more than one person can play

[128bytes]

Outlaw. Great mano-a-mano action. You can see those huge guys fighting aound the cactus even on a small screen.

Adventure...and by the way, when do you think Zonik will be completed?

[povlok1]

if you are trying to be correct in the time period.. even tho the ports was lame.. Space Invaders and then Pacman was the ones that really kicked up the sales of the 2600. I was 9 when atari came out.. we got ours when Space Invaders hit..that was the winter EVERY kid had a atari;)

[AtariDude]

That was a time when Atari was golden. They could do no wrong at that time. That was the time when my sister and I pestered our parents to get us a VCS because all our friends had one. After we got it, you literally had to tear us away from it for a few weeks

[Saikyo]

Argh you have all missed the best one!

 

The Lord Of The Rings!! (either proto or homebrew)

 

Sonic and Tails grab rings right? So it's imperative that they play

Lord Of The Rings!!

I'm keeping open all numbers of players, since I am thinking of implementing a smaller version of the 2600 game, you could perhaps challenge Tailz for extra lives, and I will post what the scene looks like upon reaching a winner.

 

I also whipped up a mock picture of Sonic on the 2600 which might come in handy. Let me know if you want it and I'll send it off to you.

That sounds very interesting, I'd like to see it...

It'll take awhile for me to finish the other sceney of the waiting room and level select, so this gives me a bit more time =P

 

and by the way, when do you think Zonik will be completed?

Probably not for awhile, so far I have two game engines to work on the flying one (mostly finished, and easy to jam enemies into) and a walking one (still in concept, ala Metal Slug) Plus all of the L-Sound Hardware issiues. Although I will be releasing a *teaser* demo soon...

[Cousin Vinnie]

Yars Revenge

[TailChao]

I've cut down the vote requirment to 8, as most of the art for the scene is done, YAR's REVENGE is in the lead so far...

[liveinabin]

I would have though Pitfall would be fitting (ie. a nod to the first generation of platform games)

[Kialan]

Galaxian!

[+-^CrossBow^-]

I agree that Pitfall should be the game being played. It was the first platformer of which everything else evolved from. Including Sonic, Zonik games...

 

However, Activision would probably not be too hot about this...

 

hmm..Oh..Oh!..I know...

hehe....

 

 

[TailChao]

Alright, as most of the art is done, and I want that demo to be finished as soon as possible, the game with the most votes by the end of today (but by my time, EST) will be chosen,

Good Luck!
