Atari 2600 Rare Games Month continues with an obscure sequel to a popular game.
Ep 689: Q*berts Qubes

I ended Atari 2600 Rare Games Month with a look at a CommaVid title.
Ep 690: Room of Doom

Yesterday for Magnavox Monday, I returned to outer space!

Ep 691: UFO (Odyssey 2)

I slither back to my Atari 800XL in my latest review.
Ep 692: Slither (Atari 8-bit)

Ep 693: Atari Collection 1 (Evercade)

Sometimes the game art is more exciting than the game itself...
Ep 694: 3D Tic-Tac-Toe (Atari 2600)

 

[nosweargamer 7,912]

The only M-Network completely original game for the Atari 2600 with no ties to an Intellivision game.
Ep 695: Air Raiders

Regarding Atari Collection I on Evercade,  I like the inclusion of the 7800 titles but there was some duplication across the two Atari collections that I felt was unnecessary.  Also, I would have preferred the collections by console like the EXCELLENT Lynx collections.

Ep 696: Namco Museum Collection 1 (Evercade)

In one of my biggest reviews ever, I cover what many consider to be the first RPG for a home console.
Ep 697: Dragonstomper (Atari 2600 Starpath Supercharger)

I haven't watched your review yet, but am very much looking forward to doing so.  I thought it would be fun to get my thoughts on the game down before I watch yours. 

I had this game when it was new.  I remember liking it very much.  However, I never did beat it.  Before the days of the internet, it was all trial and error with a game like this.  The manual didn't provide much help.  I just didn't have the patience to start over and try something else to defeat that dragon. 

So I thought the game was fun, but I sure wish we had a walkthrough available back then.  Sigh. 

I will watch your review.  And then I might see if there's a walkthrough available NOW and go ahead and try it again 35 years later.

Yeah, manual stinks and for over a year the idea of reviewing the game has been somewhat intimidating to me. Thankfully there is more information out there. I'm also planning to make a video guide / walkthrough for the game at some point.

But yes, you should totally try to beat the game after all these years! 👍
