Yeah, RIP.

What's your favorite Atari game, /vr/?

>> No.4805531

Mountain King, but I don't like very many Atari games.

>> No.4805532

RIP; Centipede, Kaboom, Warlords, and Enduro.

>> No.4805540

I remember liking Warlords, Kaboom!, Crackpots, and Plaque Attack. I think Yar's Revenge was pretty good too.

>> No.4805549

Off the Wall, Junior Pac Man and Megalomania. I still need to try out H.E.R.O., heard good things about it.

River Raid
Pretty cool to have a vertical scrolling shump with 99 different stages with also a refuel system on the 2600.

I remember the Touch Pad controller that came with this game.

EH?! That existed? Whoa, I never got to use that with my Atari 400/800! Just had to use the keyboard keys like the rest of the plebs.

Because that only came with the 2600 version. The computer version of Star Raiders had a keyboard for input so why would you possibly need a keypad?

I didn't know there was a home 400/800 version of the game. This peripheral was made specifically for the Atari 2600. The Video Touch Pad was meant to be used for any 2600 game that required it, but the only game that ended up being compatible with it is Star Raiders.

Yar's Revenge.

>> No.4806345

Surprised I didn't know abput this guy. Turns out Bushnell shoved him out of the spotlight pretty quickly despite him being one of the guys that got things going for them. That sucks.

I really like warlords, adventure, haunted house, and berzerk. Also every Imagic game.
