Living Room Arcade Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 (edited) @amidarman and @timdu Glad you guys are still around! Your linked references are amazing! I just added Bombs Away!

Living Room Arcade Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 (edited) If anyone is interested, from the Atari Compendium page, I added a few more games to my home arcade list. I added Championship Soccer (AKA Pele's Soccer) which I think is the home version of Atari Soccer. I split up Combat into three separate arcade games, Tank, BiPlane and Jet Fighter. I added Bowling as being the home version of shall we say "the bowling group" consisting of "Meadows Lanes (Meadows Games 1977); Robot Bowl (Exidy 1977); 3-D Bowling (Meadows Games 1978); Top Bowler (Taito 1978); 4 Player Bowling Alley (Midway 1979)." I added The End homebrew of the arcade game called The End. I added Boxing as being the home version of Boxer. I added both Frog Pond and Frogs and Flies as being home versions of Frogs. And I added Outlaw and Gunfight for shall we say "the Gun Fight group" consisting of "Western Gun (Taito 1975); Gun Fight (Midway 1975); Outlaw! (Atari 1976); Boot Hill (Midway 1977), Gun Man (Taito 1977); Mr. Gun Man (Universal 1980)" 2023-12-11 2600 Arcade List.xls What do you guys think of my choices? Does anyone know where I can download the ROM for Cosmic Avenger (2016 homebrew)? Edited December 12, 2023 by Living Room Arcade 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, we, the Atari community, already have Champ Games demo roms of Scramble and Super Cobra, so I guess that's finished. We can cross that item off our to do list. Yes?

How 'bout that! @Nathan Strum Haha, I found your review of the two versions in 2018. Star Castle 2600 (D. Scott Williamson) - D. Scott Williamson posts on AA in 2011 about his game. Star Castle Arcade (Team Antonym, aka: Chris Walton, Thomas Jentzsch, Ivan Machado, Richard Armijo, Nathan Strum) And @Thomas Jentzsch posted on AA in 2013 regarding a beta release of Star Castle Arcade. And here is the mention of both games in the Atari Compendium. @Thomas Jentzsch I think I see what you mean. In the Atari Compendium, it looks like the dates are switched. SC2600 (the one on the bottom) should be dated 2011 and your SCA (the one on the top) should be dated 2013. Correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just grazing it, you forgot the official Elevator Action prototype. http://www.atariprotos.com/2600/software/elevator/elevator.htm Also Pac-Man 4/8k, and I recall there being a proper port of the NES Punch-Out! to the 2600 in monochrome. https://mathangames.itch.io/punch-out-2600 These are just ones I'm aware of though, I'm far from an exhaustive source. Also, I know it basically is, but should Radar Lock really be listed as a port of After-Burner? Because then at that point Robot-Tank needs to be listed as a port of Battlezone among a ton of other clones. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NE146 Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 I dig it! Although I think Mouse Trap should be taken out of the "not arcade but similar" list since yes it's a derivative of Pac-Man, but it was its own arcade game for sure. Aside from that.. looks good! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Living Room Arcade Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 (edited) 1 hour ago, Atariboy said: Canyon Bomber is also a port of Destroyer. I think it can't be Destroyer, because in that game, the bombs drop from surface vessels. Canyon Bomber has the Sea Bomber variations within it. (See manual page 4.) Note that in the Sea Bomber variations, the bombs are dropped by aviation. Some people say that Sea Bomber looks like Bombs Away from Meadows Games, 1976. Spoiler Barrie Ellis at OneSwitch.org wrote, "Meadow's Drop Zone 4 and Bombs Away were created by David Main in 1975 and 1976 respectively. Atari would seemingly borrow heavily from these games with their VCS release title Air-Sea Battle." Link Watch this video and tell me if you don't see the resemblance. Currently, Sea Bomber is listed as being "Not Arcade But Similar" to Bombs Away. (Actually, they're so close, I consider moving Sea Bomber/Bombs Away to the arcade list.)

Atariboy Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 (edited) The mode in 2600 Canyon Bomber is definitely thematically a bit different, but gameplay wise I strongly believe that they were out to bring Destroyer home to the 2600 with the gameplay mechanic that both share of having to set the depth that the bomb will explode at (which in the 2600's case is a mechanic that doesn't really make sense if you're just dropping a bomb on a surface ship; it would've been more logical if it was themed so that you were dropping depth charges from a helicopter to attack submerged targets).
