And like many 20th century fox games, it bore little resemblence to the film in question. i have the ROM, its not even scary or spooky. -Ray

Dude, good one. -Ray

Spunds a bit like Werewolves of London for the C64 and other 8 bit machines at the time. You turned into a Werewolf when the moon came up and could kill people and leave their remains lying around. -Ray

That is one beautiful site. Impressive, most Impressive. -Ray

I wonder why Parker Brothers didn't contact the guy fro some of the Star Wars boxart, it would have made sense. -Ray

What is up with the missing Universal Monsters? Dracula got a release on the Intellivision, but none for the 2600. The Intellivision was not THAT much more advanced than the 2600, a Dracula could hav e been made. Was the Inty Drac any good? -Ray

Well it's definately a model. One of the pics clearly shows a bulkhead door, like the kind you find on ships on one of the pieces. Probably not made in Russia at all, like AJ said, I would assume its just a mod someone thought up. -Ray

That much is true. I owned VERY little bought software for that machine. -Ray

Thanks! I did this a couple of years ago and moved it to YouTube because the video was sucking up my bandwidth on .Mac. It was a quick and dirty "first project" with iMovie that I may update someday. Well you did a good job with it. You could have saved the 7800 had you been around in the day. -Ray

If you read my original post thoroughly, you'll find I never once complained about the crappy graphics. People took the thread in that direction. My statement was very matter of fact. Everyone in the game litterally looks like street urchins. They are all wearing rags and none of them own shoes. It's like a poverty rowe production of Double Dragon. If you want me to do mock screenshots of the characters wearing shoes, I doubt that would be anything but INCREDIBLY amusing. -Ray

"In Soviet Russia, Atari plays you." -Ray

Where did you pick it up? If I may ask. -Ray

Apparently someone made their own Atari 7800 commercial in 2003. The end of the video says it all... -Ray

of the two horror film based games released on the 2600, Texs Chainsaw massacre was attrocious and halloween was pretty good. I sure wish we cold have seen some more of these. Here are some other ideas for more horror film games (all based on movies that would have been available during the 2600's initial run) Friday the 13th (So many systems had a version of this, but none on Atari and these movies were BIg when Atari was big) Night of the Living Dead or Dawn of the Dead (although a great hack for Dawn of the Dead does exist) The Exorcist (What kind of game might this have been?) Phantasm (the ball is after you) Poltergeist (come on it would have been great along side ET) Creepshow (you try to bake the old man a cake before his zombie corpse gets you) Anyone else want to join in? -Ray

No that brillaint and somehwat frightening commercial seems lost for now. I remember it very well from whan I was a kid. It really made me want this game. When I saw the first Spider-man movie, I was reminded of this commercial when they had their little chat on the rooftop. I kept expecting Tobey McQAuire to grab a joystick. -Ray

Not so much DK, but for me, DKjr. was my MOST requested Atari game. I loved playing the arcade machine every chance I got and I was happy as all get out when I got DKjr and it even had a 3rd screen. -Ray

I'd hardly call the C-64 unreliable. Plus the C-64 had a HUGE push in Australia, didn't it? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7lAhguZWdE -Ray

That game on the PSP...The Wario-Style thing that is coming out is evidence of this mindset. It mixes street culture with Mini-games (many of which are goingto be classic Atari games). -Ray

Atari is completely different then it was 20 years ago. Not really. -Ray

Mario Bros. Joust Gunfighter -Ray

So what your saying is... If you bury several million Atari carts in the desert and no one sees or hears it...Are they really buried? -Ray

Not me. With the exception of the Flashback, I would really prefer Atari to return to American ownership. I'm not trying to be Xenophobic, I just believe in my heart that American born companies need to stay where they were birthed. -Ray

Aliteration at is FINEST! Yeah, I play Donkey Kong and DKjr all the time. I guess they would come pretty close to some other favorite baddies for me. -Ray

In terms of difficult homebrews, as much as I love it, Hunchy 2 gets REALLY hard really quick. But, it is not nearly the pure level of insane hard that Hunchy on the Multicart is. -Ray

Yes, I love how endless waves of zombies and wolves attack you, how Jason lives in a cave, and how the camp counselors are always taking vitamins to heal themselves, just like in the movie. Seriously...it's definitely closer to the movie than most of LJN's other efforts (Back To The Future), but it still sucks. At least Halloween is actually fun to play. Yeah, sometimes they REALLY stretch to make the movie into a playable game. -Ray
