There is a 2600 port if Crystal Castles you can probably get for cheap someplace. It's OK, but you really need to find a physical arcade cabinet in order to truly appreciate it. It uses a trak ball and no emulator can do it justice! My family and I went to stay at a hotel in Door County, WI last year and they had a cab. Had a blast getting the high score. We went back this January and it was still there! I played before on XBOX but never much cared for it until I used the trak ball. 1Littlebeast and Sabertooth 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time I see a mention of Ohio, I can't but play the theme song from WKRP in Cincinnati in my head 🎶🎶🎵 🙂 I wish there was a barcade near by but unfortunately not. My favorite arcade games that I can't pass by are Asteroids, Galaga, Robotron, Defender. If I see one of those, I have to play. 1Littlebeast 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Littlebeast Posted September 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2020 @HDN I found the Atari 2600 version pretty cheap i will defiantly have to add it to my list of pickups. @socrates63 😂 WRKP There is some good barcades near me Galaga is always a good one. @TrekMD Glad to be here. @RickR I love Tron if i remember correctly it had the transparent control stick on top of the backlights i have always loved the transparent controllers and consoles etc just seeing them tick as you play it always has seemed cool to me. socrates63 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need the physical cart for that, too. I have emulated it, but something tells me that like many other classic Atari games like Galaxian, it is much better on real hardware with the OG 2600 controller. It is a decent port and very impressive for the system, but do find a real arcade cab someday! 1Littlebeast 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you want to show the new guy your mad Galaxian skills. If that's the case, go right ahead!

Atari 5200 Guy Posted September 14, 2020 Report Share Posted September 14, 2020 Welcome to Atari I/O @1Littlebeast. You'll love it here. Favorite arcade game? Gee...you had to play that card? Ummm...lemme think. I have two actually each from different eras. Pre-crash I'd have to pick Galaxian. Post-crash has to be OutRun. Gyruss is good, too. Gotta love the music in that one.

I played before on XBOX but never much cared for it until I used the trak ball. There are also XEGS and ST computer ports of "Crystal Castles." I have three Atari home versions of "Crystal Castles." I have them for A2600, XEGS, and ST. The ST computer version looks the best out of the three, but HDN is right about one thing. To experience it the best way possible, experience it on the arcade. The arcade is also extremely difficult to play. It is the most difficult of the versions of the game, but definitely very well programmed and fun.
