MalakZero Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 Giving feedback on Scrapyard Dog for the 7800 got me wondering if there are/were any other titles released in that specific genre? 2600 games count, too. So far, I know of Scrapyard Dog and Tower Toppler for the 7800 and Pitfall 1 & 2 for the 2600. I've got to be missing some, can you guys help me compile a list?

RickR Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 Does Mario Bros count? Maybe Miner 2049er? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowsdower70 Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 How about Infiltrate for 2600....wait, not that kind of platform?Xenophobe?

Rowsdower70 Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 I mean there are several single screen platformers, not side scrolling ones though. Kangaroo, Popeye, Mario...they are platformers in that you run and jump and climb. Jungle Hunt I guess should count too.

nosweargamer Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 As far as the 7800 goes, you could make the case that games like Double Dragon & Ninja Golf has platform-like elements, but I would think Impossible Mission counts. Smurf:RFGC on the 2600 is a solid platformer.

Rowsdower70 Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 Does Mario Bros count? Maybe Miner 2049er? Miner 2049er definitely.

MalakZero Posted May 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 Its a homebrew, but theres also "Princess Rescue" for 2600. Has anyone played it? "Mmmrrrrrrhhhh.....game.....gooooood....." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MalakZero Posted May 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 What about ET or Indiana jones? Those felt like adventure games to me. I could see Raiders and Fate of Atlantis being bundled together. "Mmmrrrrrrhhhh.....game.....gooooood....." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ballblaɀer Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 If you want to include homebrews, Zippy the Porcupine for the 2600 qualifies (and is amazing). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickR Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 Now that you mention it...it's amazing that no one copied the "Pitfall!" design. All other game types (especially space shooters) were copied to death...but not the platformer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickR Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 Oh, and I just thought of one....Kung Fu Master. 2600 and 7800 versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioPoultry Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 Montezuma's Revenge, Springer, and Frankenstein's Monster come to mind. I won't mention Tax Avoiders. Oops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MalakZero Posted May 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 With Castlevania ports coming to the ZX Spectrum, I'm curious to see what a title like that would look and sound like on the 7800.
