2600 games that should exist.

Oh, and Flesh Gordon. Even if the proto is never found, we need a ROM to go with the great ad for it which can be found here:

Hmmm... in looking for the ad I found a thread here:

You posted the same link twice.

What we were talking about last night.....A timed game where you are operating a bulldozer and have a limited amount of time to bury as many ET carts as possible.

What would be the primary challenge in this game? Fanatics keep coming along and digging them up?

[onemoretime]

_{You would get bonus points by running over the fanatics......and lose points on cartridges that got away... Could maybe even have a second level where you played as the fanatic, and tried to sneak as many cartridges as possible.}

Galaga. While it may have not been possible back in the day I'm sure it can be done now. I know someone has done the soundtrack but that just makes me want it more.

I'd love it too, but it's not something I would want to attempt in batari Basic.

An assembly kernel like SpiceWare's latest that can get software sprites very close vertically before intelligent flicker takes over would be the best.

I'm sure someone will slap together an untested bB version tomorrow and it'll be $40 CIB. Stay tuned. Make sure you get a low number for your eBay resell.

The bulldozer shovels ETs (represented by the triple ganged ET sprites - bulldozer is double or quad-wide), knocking them into the pits, followed by compulsory animation with authentic TIA sound. Bulldozer then plows dirt over the hole. All audio and graphics except the bulldozer are ripped strait from the original ET cart.

Close - obviously not quite it, but close enough to confirm it's possible.

Make Trax!

[sega_SHARK]

[sloth-machine]

Michael Jackson's Thriller, a timed rhythm game.

[+bcombee]

UA's Cat Trax (available in reproduction form at the AtariAge store) is pretty similar to Make Trax, although not identical.

Cat Trax is a Pac - Man style game ( eating dots, avoid bad guy) where in Make Trax, you actually paint the maze, weird things walk in your paint ( making you repaint the areas they walked in) No power pellets, energizers, or power ups! you have 2 two rollers placed in the maze- get the fish to follow you there and roll em' over! They never go away, but you can only use them in the same area. There are also 6 exits! A great game that has been overlooked long enough!!!!

Another classic that deserves some love is Sega's PULSAR-
