Has anyone ever beaten Atari 2600 Road Runner

[jpfalcon2003]

Man is this game HARD! I really like this game and got it when it first came out. I have still not completed it till this day. The furthest I have gotten to is level 5. I know there are 8 levels in the game too. Anyone have any luck with this one? Does the game have an ending to it? For all that hard work to complete 8 levels there should be. This is one of my favorite games, but it really could use a pause feature too.

This game was hard in the arcade and I was surprised to learn that the 2600 version had successfully captured the essence of the game. It can be completed, it just takes a little bit of patience

Have you ever beaten the game? Is there an ending to this one?

[jpfalcon2003]

Has anyone else ever beaten this game before? Any tips or suggestions to beat it?

Probably no response because nobody's come even close to beating it.

I'll give it a go. I recently picked up this game so I am a novice at it...I'll let you know how I do

Heck just ask Nukey to hack it and give you infinite lives or something. That'll beat it good

Be ready for the challenge of a lifetime on this one.

I like the challenge, but as hard as Road Runner is, you need more than just one extra bird at 100,000. I would love a hack that's a little easier though, but not too easy. A hack definitely could use a pause feature too.

Doubt you could get a pause feature. Infinite lives however, I'm sure could be done simply.

I recall passing all the levels in the arcade in the early 90's, but I could be wrong.

 

I recently played the 2600 version and don't think I got past the 3rd or 4th lvl.

That's where most people get too usually. Great game though and outstanding Graphics.
