BREAKING NEWS: Probe 2000 - Power Lords - Atari 2600

I got mine and I've been playing it for a couple of days. It took me awhile to warm up to the game, but I like it now. Anyone else notice the difficulty switches do work? At least on games 1-6. On games 7-8 they work on the first stage, but the second stage is actually harder on B difficulty. I guess they were still working on that one.

 

The label looks awesome, too. Thanks CPUWIZ!

Seeing as this is a new game to all of us, is anyone up for a high score thread? I find this game to be challenging and would like to see what everyone else is up to on this! Any takers?

 

I'd probably participate.

Unfortunately, there is an infinite scoring situation with the game. See my post #203.

Yeah, but the HSC has used games with that problem before, basically you have to set a rule that you can't cheat and hope the honor system works.

I'm not sure how feasible it would be, but we could record the actual games and then post em to YouTube. Then we could embed the vids here for HSC review. It might be fun that way, albeit a tad complicated! icon_smile.gif

Seems like a LOT of work to do that. I haven't been actively participating in the HSC these days due to time restrictions, but I used to, and one of the last games I remember playing was Pharaoh's Curse

It had a similar scoring bug but we just used the honor system and things were fine. It's not like there is a prize or anything right? :)

I really wanted to snag a copy of this.

I am a big fan of 80's action figures and this would have fit in my collection of Inhumanoids and Manglors nicely.

Unfortunately I'm currently in the process of selling off a lot of my collections (figures, video games, comics, magazines etc...) and consolidating everything to a smaller area so I don't need HUGE houses to store my crap. Really need to focus on getting that accomplished before I add to my collections any more.

I really do hope this is offered again some time in the future though.

Kudo's to CPU for making this game available. Looks great! :thumbsup:

You had these toys when you were a kid!? :D

 

Yes I did! Actually, just one of them. Arkus was a toy I received for Christmas of that same year he was released. My grandmother got it for me and it was my favorite toy as a child. The design was just awesome, I mean look at the dude online. He's freaking awesome. Joints were weak as shit, though.

Mine's turned up here okay (oodles of packaging heh), let's see if I can get some playtime in...

 

I thought you were worried about it being crushed? ;)

True... it just happened to be protected vastly more than I was expecting it to be ;)

WOW! I have bought lots ofg items here on Atariage this happens to be the first one that i Listed, I also bought Merlins Walls here and hated that as well, They both are up for auction. I'm sorry if it offended you CPUWIZ and anyone else. I have 100's of games in my collection, don't play all of them, but the Repros, Hacks and new games, which will not appreciate in value, I like to enjoy them. Sorry I didn't like it. I have personally bought at least 10 other games here lots of homebrews and yes limited releases and I loved them( I don't really rhink this is a limited release either,as more orders have come in and been made)the other games I bought are still in my collection and will be for a long time.

 

Hopefully I won't be disqualified form buying future releases, but know that if I don't care for them, I may list it on Ebay.

 

Yes I do sell old Penthouse and Playboy magazines and sorry if it offends any of you, but that is how I make $ to pay for my video games that I buy. If it offends anyone sorry

 

CPUWIZ if any of this pissed you off, I am very sorry. The rest of you Kiss my ass.

 

 

Why not include free porn with the purchase of Atari games. How could anyone go wrong?!

 

:thumbsup: :thumbsup:
