Ruining the 'legend of the buried cartridges' forever.



Around the Network

Another shit Atari 2600 game would be Indiana Jones (Raiders of the Lost Ark I believe). Didn't have instruction manual so I was only able to get past title screen once. I believe you had to have the switches in proper place (believe it was 2nd player switch) to get past title screen. I just remember a hot air balloon on title screen. The only time I got past it I died within a couple mins from an alligator or snake since I had no clue what to expect. The game used to fascinate me though (and my sister) due to troubles starting the game. It was like a hidden treasure. We would boot up the game hit the button on controller and mess around with switches. We just imagined what kind of bad ass game it was... Perhaps it wasn't a bad game but for some reason gave me a difficult time trying to even get past title screen. I suppose this is a case that a manual is needed (or internet).



Holy shit.. Thanks lemonslice for linking this AVGN episode (I've actually seen it before but forgot about it). If you didn't believe me on how shitty Raiders of the Lost Ark was on Atari 2600 then watch this video. I'm actually glad I barely got to play this game. Worst game ever!  You thought E.T. was bad?  Watch the first part of this video.
