Scrabbler15 Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 51,246 Scratch my last score. I didn't notice that we were on game three. Driving between the blood cells feels like a NASCAR pile up.

+Nathan Strum Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Trivia question #2 from me: Which Atari 2600 game has music in it that's from a movie that a different Atari 2600 game is based on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GornThrifting Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 (edited) Was it Asteroids? Yep! First attempt: 38447 Edited March 24, 2015 by GornThrifting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dauber Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 (edited) First attempt: 49,850. Never played this game before. I gotta say...I'm impressed! Very interesting concept! Trivia question: Scott Rhoades was the Atari tech writer behind the BasketBrawl manual, and he snuck hidden references to some of his favorite music in the stories. Name either the name of the band (that is, a musical group consisting of more than two members!) that was the influence for one of the character's names, or the song that influenced the back story behind Tommy "Biff" Torrance.

+Nathan Strum Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Vanguard (music from Flash Gordon) Correct! That's it for my two questions, but here's another anyway: Vanguard is musically related to another 2600 game - which one, and why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorfy Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 (edited) OK, I'll pose my second question, even though it's kind of late...... On what 2600 cartridge may be found a hack of John Dunn's Superman? Edited March 26, 2015 by Gorfy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Nathan Strum Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 (edited) Star Trek: Strategic Operations Simulator? the original Vanguard had music from Star Trek: The Motion Picture/ Star Trek: The Next Generation.
