Pyromaniac605 Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 When i say best looking i dont mean "has more colours" or "looks most like the arcade version" i just want what game you personally think looks best for a 2600 game and why. Mine would have to be Threshold because the scrolling colours and the animations on the enemys looks great for the 2600 but the gameplay is a little bland. -Darren- 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom_Explodes Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Man Goes Down! If we're not talking homebrew stuff, pretty much anything by Imagic. Specifically Demon Attack and Dragonfire. I dunno why, exactly. They just look good to me. Haha. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+LS650 Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 I think the homebrew Ladybug is pretty impressive. Lots of attention to detail, and it's pretty close to the original arcade game in look and feel. Seawolf is also visually impressive, with large detailed sprites, plenty of colour, etc. Most of the old Starpath Supercharger games look really good. Battlezone looks nothing like the arcade game, but plays reasonably similarly and has really nice, colourful graphics that have held up well over the years. Beamrider and Enduro are games that look fairly presentable; they are starting to show their age but were visually impressive "back in the day". I also think Frogger has held up well; graphics aren't as nice as the arcade of course, but there's a lot of activity and colour. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pyromaniac605 Posted March 12, 2010 Author Share Posted March 12, 2010 (edited) and you have to own the game aswell or at least be able to play it on real hardware. Cant edit the OP for some reason. -Darren- Edited March 12, 2010 by Pyromaniac605 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tetrode kink Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Juno First, Solaris. But I have a soft spot for Enduro. I still think the gradual sunsetting sky before it gets completely dark is the most beautiful sky depiction I've seen in a VCS game. It's so beautiful that sometimes I'll just sit and watch it in demo mode and soak it in (I'm too frazzled to pay attention to the sky when I'm playing the game, natch!). -tet 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skylark68 Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Missile Command. I've liked it for different reasons throughout the years, but the changing colors in the sky and the ground was always interesting to me. Also, I think the game is more fun than the arcade because you only have 1 base and it seems a little more hectic, especially in the later rounds. I also think that the sparse graphics really grab at your imagination and it's almost terrifying to imagine real cities going up in smoke from nuclear missiles. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VectorGamer Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 I think the homebrew Ladybug is pretty impressive. I second that. This home brew absolutely blew me away more than any other. I just got this one for Xmas. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ransom Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 From the classic era, I'd say either Atlantis or Dragonfire. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rik Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 (edited) I like the bright crisp graphics of 2600 H.E.R.O.,and 2600 Montezuma's Revenge. Edited March 12, 2010 by Rik 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevEng Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Man Goes Down! Yup. Simple, yet hypnotic and beautiful. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonely Mountain Hermit Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Man Goes Down! Yup. Simple, yet hypnotic and beautiful. "Jr. Pac-Man" is very impressive visually. But for homebrews, I have to agree that "Man Goes Down" as simple as it is, is very appealing to look at--"hypnotic" is a good word to describe it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjk7382 Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 I would have to say Subterranea or demon attack. Lots of multi-colored sprites. Also Thrust with the smooth scrolling effect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrekMD Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Another game with impressive graphics is Thrust Plus Platinum...and the game is also quite challenging to play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyromaniac605 Posted March 12, 2010 Author Share Posted March 12, 2010 Well how about this you can say one homebrew and one official game. so for me the official is still Threshold and hombrew well i dont have any yet so ill come to that later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
