  1. Poll: Which version of Demon Attack is best?

    in Classic Gaming General

    Posted

    I've only played the 2600 version. So that's what I'm voting for. LOL. Probably not a fair vote, but I wanted to vote.

     

    Intellivision: Truly an awesome port. They added a planet to the background and a boss level. But the game is slower and a little less colorful. Still, that boss is so cool looking.

    I don't know if it's true or not, but I remember reading somewhere that the boss level is a rip-off of the boss level from Phoenix. But since the game was already similar to Phoenix anyway it was kind of inevitable.

    That's so cool!

     

    If you're wondering what games to get for it, you can't go wrong with Super Mario 64, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and Super Smash Brothers. Also, my brother and I really enjoy the Spider-Man 2000 game for N64 (though it would probably be better to go with the PS1 version that same game), so I always recomend that too.

  11. Adventure (Review, Easter Egg & More)

    in Atari 2600

    I love adventure!!! Here is what I have, does anyone know any other versions? adventures2.jpg

    "Suicide Adventure." In that version, the mazes are harder, and the dragons are AGRESSIVE! They appear constantly onscreen from the very start, and chow you down in seconds. I've never finished that version, because it's hard. I don't know if it was released as a cartridge though.

     

    There's also "Haunted Adventure," also known as "Return to Haunted House." It's basically Adventure with a Haunted House theme to it. The dragons are replaced with ghosts, the bat with the bat from Haunted House, and the sword with the scepter. Also, the chalice is replaced with a skull. You can find this game on the Flashback 4.

     

    Edit: Oh and the Flashback 4 also includes a game called Adventure II, which is unrelated to the 5200 game of the same name.

    Oh man, the 10-1 says "Text"? I need to try that. A picture of that should go on Fail Blog. Good find!

    Apparently, this information has come to Wikipedia as well (the information wasn't on there back when I made the discovery).

     

    Here's the link, where they have a picture of the 10-in-1 version of the Easter Egg:

    You just have to enlarge the picture, and you'll see the word "TEXT" at the top of the screen (in really tiny letters. What a joke).

     

    But yeah. Fail blog should definitely include that. Haha.

    I absolutely love this game. I like exploring all the chambers, and collecting things. And the duck-dragons are just so hilarious. This game is good for both the fun factor AND the humor factor (though the humor was unintentional).

     

    There's a reason this game is included on nearly every Atari compilation game.

     

    Fun fact: On the port of the game for the Jakk's Pacific 10-in-1 joystick, the Easter Egg was removed, and replaced with the word, "TEXT." I don't know if that was mentioned already, but I find it kind of funny (especially considering that it was the first version of the game I played, and it was before I knew that the games on the joystick weren't the original versions, so when I went looking for the Easter Egg, I was greated by "TEXT," and I was like, "What's this trash? I want to see the Easter Egg!" LOL. Still a fun little joystick to play games on though). It's also easier to find the "dot" because the darkness in the labyrinth is black instead of the original grey color, so you can easily see the dot when you enter the labyrinth.

  24. Rank the best 2600 arcade conversions

    I can totally understand that, but at the same time it gets upgraded by the Supercharger, which gives it a bit of an unfair advantage.

    True enough.

     

    I'm gonna try to rank these games listed. I'm leaving off Berzerk and Joust because I haven't played the arcade versions, and therefore, can't compare them (I haven't even played the 2600 version of Joust). I'll also put Jr. Pac-Man in the rankings.

     

    1. Official Frogger

    2. Space Invaders

    3. Battlezone

    4. Jungle Hunt

    5. Defender 2

    7. Jr. Pac-Man

    8. Missile Command

    9. Ms. Pac-Man

    10. Asteroids

    11. Millipede

    12. Centipede

     

    They were all really good ports though. I had trouble ranking them.

    I voted for Official Frogger. I remember I used to play 2600 roms on the computer. I remember the Summer after eighth grade, I decided to download some 2600 rooms on a brand new computer. I went online and started downloading. I downloaded one that said "Frogger," thinking that it would be the Parker Brothers version I usually played (I didn't know there was another 2600 version at the time). Imagine my surprise when I started the game and it was one I had never seen before. Even BETTER than the Parker Brothers version! It blew my mind! I didn't know until that moment that the 2600 was capable of producing that good of a game! I just couldn't see this portneeding improvement. It was 100% perfect! My vote goes to Official Frogger.

     

    Another game you can put on your list is Jr. Pac-Man. It could easily make my top ten list of favorite 2600 games. It was a sweet port.
