Never played the arcade version of this before, and just about the only thing I remember about the 2600 version is that it came in one of those weird looking Coleco cartridges.

 

Played a few credits last night. The controls are freakin' horrifying. And it's quite maddening when a pixel of your bow touches a dead enemy that is taking like 45 seconds to disappear, and you die. I wonder how many Venture cabinets had fists put through their glass? I only played for a few minutes and I was ready to donkey punch my MAME cabinet.

OMG tell me about it. Those dead enemies are a pain.

Yeah, the controls are very sticky...makes for some serious frustration. While I can sympathize (and I've been known to smack my machine around from time to time) please don't destroy your own machine over this game. :)

Ahhhh!!! It is literally torture playing this fn game. If I deemed it necessary to quit playing video games for some reason, I would lock myself in a 4 foot by 4 foot cubicle and force myself to play Venture for 8 hours straight. After such agony and annoyance I would have no choice, I would have to quit!!

 

Don't you just love the delayed controls? Aren't they great? Oh, and how about that little pause in movement every time you change directions? That's an even better feature this game has.

 

What about when you exit a room and a big goon-like head gets you because he's sitting RIGHT next to the door? I love it when I die that way!!

 

But I think the best thing in this game is when you're in striking distance of an enemy, you aim and shoot and your enemy scurries away, making it absolutely impossible to hit him. I love it when that happens.

 

In all honesty, I find Venture for the Atari 2600 was ten times more enjoyable than this crappy arcade version.

 

Oh yeah, my entry(and probably last) score ------------->31,260
