Where the heck is Moon Patrol

Moon patrol is an irem game not atari. shame since the 2600 port is great

 

Ohh... That's a shame, I love the 2600 version of Moon Patrol =/



Around the Network

I had ATARI ST every time we played double dragon, u had to press spacebar at the right time just to play the game otherwise it wouldn't load, can u imagine that nowadays.



100 atari games.... so around 2mb of game code!

Still though, if this was priced right and comes to the consoles I could see myself grabbing it for the Vita, play some space invaders on the loo.



Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

I find this to be quite interesting. Once you read up on the history of Atari and many of these games' own history, it makes you appreciate them more. Yeah, they're crude (VCS/2600) versions, but they're pieces of priceless gaming history. I'll definitely pick this up even though I have the flashbacks.



The only real enjoyable (imo) way to play Atari 2600 games is on an actual Atari 2600 wood grain console hooked up to an old CRT with the original joystick.

space invaders is a taito game, not going to appear here, shame because the 2600 port includes co-op

Does include a few of the arcade games as well as the 2600 ports.  Plus a few arcade exclusives.

also Secret Quest, Fatal Run, Save Mary and a few other late 2600 games included are fairly complex games,  the 2600 was probably pushed further than any other console. Just compare spaceship to Radar Lock.

No Solaris is a bit strange.  It is probably the most ambitious  game on the console.



I HAVE A DOUBLE DRAGON CAB IN MY KITCHEN!!!!!!

NOW A PUNISHER CAB!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yeah, Secret Quest was supposed to be near impossible on the 2600. It took some ingenuity and knowhow to make that one. Fatal Run was cool and Radar Lock's tilting screens were amazing for the 2600. It'd be easy to write these games off like many people here but when you understand what these coders were working with, it's just commendable. Never got to play the Arcade versions so that'll be a plus.
