foxglove9 Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 Very interesting, I'd have to agree pretty much to most of your ratings, though I still think Atari 2600 Space Invaders is way better than the arcade version, as far as the fun factor is concerned. I also think Pac-Man, as much as I hated that version, deserves a little better than a one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think Pac-Man, as much as I hated that version, deserves a little better than a one. I love Space Invaders, 2600 style but compared to the arcade game (which is what i based the overal score at) its slightly off. The best bit is the various games on the cart! Pacman is so far off that a 1 I think is all it deservers! Thanks guys! Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisbid Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 i think the pac man score is a bit harsh as well, yes it was a major letdown, but all the elements of the original game were there. I wouldve given it a 3 on a ten point scale. thats why im not a huge fan of ten point scales, its way to subjective. I prefer a three point scale, Excellent, Playable, Terrible. Then just give special awards for games on either extreme of the scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE146 Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 coming soon..I want to make a complete list. I like it Lee! By the way I think there was an almost complete list here (read Sniderman's post): http://www.atariage.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=18305 It's missing some (like Espial and Springer), but I think we mentioned them later in the thread. Then of course there's the infamous 2600 arcade screenshot thread. Although the thread is long and a lot of the pictures are down now.. it does give a pretty good list if you can extract it from each seperate post: http://www.atariage.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=17112 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyle Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 2600 kung fu master a 2???????? I really liked your site and you did a nice job but kung fu master a 2! I would give it atleast a 6! It's one of my all time favorite 2600 games i dont think they could have done a much better job on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Nathan Strum Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 I refined SniderMan's list a bit in this thread, if it's of any help. I really like the comparisons. I'd thought about doing something similar, but never got off of my lazy butt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad2600 Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 Cool site. I like the comparisions. We all know that the 2600 was all about gameplay and not fancy graphics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
