LYNXGUY Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 The Worst/Most Annoying Atari 8 bit game(s) for me would be. . . . . . . GOSSIP CAT NAP DEMON BIRDS DOWN THE TRENCH for starters, more to follow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 The Worst/Most Annoying Atari 8 bit game(s) for me would be. . . . . . . GOSSIP To be fair, Gossip really isn't a serious game. It's more of an experimental thing. The 'voices' alone make it worth toying around with now and then. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+therealbountybob Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 How about Plastron Somehow rated at 7.6 on Atarimania so I had a couple of goes, well I nearly didn't bother having two goes... a lot of work on various graphics and parallax scrolling but the gameplay is just so boring and no sound affects YAWN :!: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poison Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Monkey Magic http://atari.fandal.cz/detail.php?files_id=2459 totaly unplayable and stupid game (conversion) I never played original game, but our version is terrible!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+CharlieChaplin Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Add Spaceball to the list, did anyone actually play this... Well, I do know this game, but never really played it for more than a few seconds. I played this "Spaceball" more often, since it is a lot of fun with 2 human players: http://www.atari.fandal.cz/detail.php?files_id=2947 greetings, Andreas Koch. P.S.: My gold medal for a boring game still goes to Amauroute, great gfx, extremely boring gameplay... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tahoe Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 "New York City - The Big Apple" springs to mind.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heaven/TQA Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 wasn't NY citiy the first GTA game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carmel_andrews Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Poison, i think you'll find that Monkey Magic was programmed by Steven McIllwie (or however you spell his family name) I did mention previosly to AVOID any games programmed by this person....they are complete and utter cack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heaven/TQA Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 I was disappointed about Summer Games, Beach Head 2, Raid Over Moscow, Hard Ball (well...not bad at all...but). But Leaderboard was fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetboot Jack Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 i think you'll find that Monkey Magic was programmed by Steven McIllwie (or however you spell his family name) Why on earth do you say that since the LINK provided lists him as one of the authors and has his name (correctly spelled) - surely a less oblique and more useful response would have been - just the "avoid anything by Macilwee bit" with out the faux uncertainty...!?!? sTeVE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, come on, this is actually a fun game - if you know what to do in the given places... ...and if you don`t, read the text in the attachment. -Andreas Koch. Yeah, I agree, for a budget game this was pretty playable and at least it had some challenges and varied gameplay Might be even more playable with those hints.

You should insert these informations in Atari XXL, Das Grosse Spielehanbuch (maybe an English version). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+CharlieChaplin Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 [off-topic] Hello Philsan, I already sent Bunsen (Gunnar Busse) all my tips, tricks, hints, cheats and codes plus all the solutions I have collected for the A8 over the years. Afaik, he is now working on "Das große Spielebuch - level two" (the big games book - level two). Of course all solutions to english adventures will be presented in english language then (a translation there would not make any sense) - but I am not sure how he presents all other things, e.g. he might translate the hints to NYC and other games into german language. You may ask why - simply because most members of Abbuc are from Germany and approx. 40-50% of the german members are sixty years old (or even older) and do not speak nor understand english. On the other hand Abbuc could do two versions of the book(s), one version with mainly german language and one version with mainly english language, but I am not sure if they can afford it and furthermore if Abbuc already has so many english (speaking) members that its worth it... greetings, Andreas Koch.
