Jess Ragan Posted October 13, 2001 Share Posted October 13, 2001 Hey, Tempest! It'd be easy... just have the player buy one of those Gemini controllers. It's a joystick and a paddle built into one controller! JR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spector Posted October 14, 2001 Share Posted October 14, 2001 What about Paperboy? I don't understand why it wasn'tdone for the 7800, but there you go. The reason why I'd like this one is because it's impossible. Paperboy is the game that defies conversion. By the way, how come Green Goblin knows about the Spectrum? He comes from the US; I thought Americans only knew about the Commodore 64. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Friend of Sonic Posted October 14, 2001 Share Posted October 14, 2001 Hey... I think I'm the only Sonic the Hedgehog freak on this board (makes me unique? LOL) so I defintely have to bring up Sonic the Hedgehog. Yes, I know, you wouldn't be able to tell what the heck was happening on the screen, and it probably wouldn't be able to be done... but that'd just be cool LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel D. Park Posted October 15, 2001 Share Posted October 15, 2001 I would have liked to seen M.U.L.E. but there are so many little dots and stuff drawn on the map during "Growing Season" I don't know how it would have been kept track of.

+Zeptari Posted October 16, 2001 Share Posted October 16, 2001 My wife and I would love to see a 2600 version of Qix! Was that made for the 7800? ohhhh and don't for get about marble madness... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adriana Posted October 17, 2001 Share Posted October 17, 2001 Taito's Zookeeper would have been totally do-able on the 2600 -- seemingly. So would have Qix... I would have loved to have seen both of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inky Posted October 17, 2001 Share Posted October 17, 2001 I remember Zookeeper being annoounced at one time by Atari. Does a proto exisit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muddawg Posted November 13, 2001 Share Posted November 13, 2001 There are some games that should be some other games made for the Atari Systems. I of course couldn't develop them, but if any one has some good ideas put them up here. and if anybody can develop them please do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atarimastermarty Posted November 13, 2001 Share Posted November 13, 2001 Super Mario brothers its a must i think we all will agree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Slocum Posted November 13, 2001 Share Posted November 13, 2001 Unfortunately, complex horizontal scrolling is next-to impossible on the 2600. But it would be nice to see another big-world platformer ala Pitfall II. -Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moycon Posted November 13, 2001 Share Posted November 13, 2001 Archon!!! It seems like this one is do-able on the 2600?? Am I wrong? Man what a fun 2 player game that is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liveinabin Posted November 13, 2001 Share Posted November 13, 2001 Why?? we've already played all these games on other systems. I'd like to see new stuff for the 2600, but NEW stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy Ferrante Posted November 14, 2001 Share Posted November 14, 2001 Hi, I would love to see Lode Runner on the 2600, there where talks in the early 80's that it was Comming Soon. Atari8Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muddawg Posted November 14, 2001 Share Posted November 14, 2001 True, Super Mario Bros. might be complex, but how bout a RAM expansio, like CBS did! Then Maybe someone could port it over to the VCS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liveinabin Posted November 14, 2001 Share Posted November 14, 2001 alright, if its ports we're after:- how about the Intellivision game - Tron - Solar sailer. Its such a great game. But that stupid controller is getting on my nerves!!! Come to think of it- yeah - this'll be my first home project, I'm going to rebuild the Intellivision - with decent controllers this time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ze_ro Posted November 14, 2001 Share Posted November 14, 2001 I hate to be a ColecoVision fanboy, but most of the games that (at the time) I saw as lacking were mostly ColecoVision games: Pepper II Looping Lady Bug (There's still hope) Jumpman Jr. And of course, better versions of Zaxxon and Buck Rogers would have been awesome (Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong Jr on the Atari kinda sucked... but I think they were better translations than either of these). A few other games worth mentioning would be a hockey game (Anything, as long as it's better than Activision's Ice Hockey), and an Excitebike ripoff (I suppose someone would mention Motorodeo... but it's too damn rare! ) --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rasty Posted November 14, 2001 Share Posted November 14, 2001 Paperboy. Think of it with an overhead view (instead of 3/4 isometric as in the arcade) and vertical scrolling.. Papers to shoot, things to avoid, could be a hit! Rasty.- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyXB Posted November 15, 2001 Share Posted November 15, 2001 Here some C64 games they I will see on an Atari 2600 VCS: Bomb Jack Boulder Dash Bubble Bobble Dynamite Dux Happy Hacker Jumpman & Jumpman Jr. Little Computer People Loderunner Mr Do's Wild Ride Pac-Land Qix Rainbow Island Solomo Key Spindizzy Super Pipeline 1 & 2 Wonderboy & Wonderboy in Monster World Matthias Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATARIPITBULL Posted November 15, 2001 Share Posted November 15, 2001 How about if someone made the HULK game that Parker bros was going to do, but never did, or even the lord of the ring, since the movie is coming out this christmas.

Nateo Posted November 15, 2001 Share Posted November 15, 2001 Hey, Bubble Bobble would be a great game to port to the Atari! I love that game. All the cute little dragons and all the cute little enemies... come to think of it, Bust-a-Move could be doable as well. I still have faith in FallDown!

Ze_ro Posted November 15, 2001 Share Posted November 15, 2001 quote: Originally posted by MattyXB: Bomb Jack Boulder Dash Jumpman & Jumpman Jr. Loderunner Mr Do's Wild Ride Pac-Land Good call on these ones... but I really think the rest of the games you mentioned would be almost impossible to do a halfway decent job on. I mean, Spindizzy? I don't think so! You'd have to mangle the game so much to get it to fit in an Atari game that it wouldn't even be the same anymore. Same goes for Bust A Move (Ever played the Gameboy version? It's terrible), though I suppose Bubble Bobble might be possible... --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liveinabin Posted November 15, 2001 Share Posted November 15, 2001 I'd like to see some old Ultimate games and Jetset willy or Manic miner, they were old Zx Spectrum titles that really broke new ground, it'd be nice for them to have a wider international stage.
