sku_u Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 Hey all, I was wondering if anyone owns a copy of River Raid III? If so, what exactly is it? Is it a clone of something, River Raid II with a different label, or a legitimate standalone sequel? Cheers, John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 I have it on a Brazillian cart somewhere, I'll have to check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATARI TROLL Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 If you find it, can you dump the rom for game play? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianoid Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 I have several versions of River Raid, all hacks, numbered River Raid 1-4. Some of the hacks are more playable than others. Interestingly, I haven't seen a pirate of the real River Raid 3 before. I've never heard rumors of River Raid 3. It would be interesting to see what direction they would go, after successfully although not enjoyably going the 3D route with RR2...

Inky Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 wasn't there a Super River Raid for the Sega Master System? I could have sworn I saw one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaManFan Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 wasn't there a Super River Raid for the Sega Master System? I could have sworn I saw one. Here's the "all release" list from SMS Power: http://www.smspower.org/museum/lists/smsall.txt I don't see it on there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 I have a Super River Raid for the 2600, Brazillian hack of River Raid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moycon Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 Thomas could prolly whip us up a quick River Raid 3. Maybe next year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mendon Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 Yep, I can see it now... April 1, 2004 a proto River Raid III for the 2600 is found and the ROM dumped to AA. Sigh.... Mendon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
san-d-2000 Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 I have a boxed copy of River Raid 3, it's just a hack of the original. -Sandy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sku_u Posted April 4, 2003 Author Share Posted April 4, 2003 I have a boxed copy of River Raid 3, it's just a hack of the original. -Sandy. Thanks. So I guess it's not worth pursuing, then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Cafeman Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 Considering River Raid is my all-time favorite Atari 2600 game, I'm a bit interested in the hacks too. Can somebody relate what was changed in each hack? Oh, and there was a River Raid 3 for SNES in development. I remember seeing a picture of it in some game mag such as GamePRo, around 1990-1992. It showed a jet flying upwards through a top-down city w/skyscrapers. The game evidently got scrapped by whomever was developing it. I'd like to see a picture of it again.

MattyXB Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 Bermuda (Quelle & other Companies) is too a hack from River Raid. No Walls, only some ice mountains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sku_u Posted April 4, 2003 Author Share Posted April 4, 2003 Bermuda (Quelle & other Companies) is too a hack from River Raid. No Walls, only some ice mountains. Now there's one I actually have. I'll have to boot it up and do a comparison. I too love both River Raid and River Raid 2 and would like to know what differences exist amongst the hacks. Perhaps a screenshot comparison if possible?

Thomas Jentzsch Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 I too love both River Raid and River Raid 2 and would like to know what differences exist amongst the hacks. Perhaps a screenshot comparison if possible? If you use CloneSpy you will find plenty of RR hacks: Bermuda, Ground Zero, Galaga, Harbor Escape and several hacks without a new name. Why don't you check yourself using an emulator? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sku_u Posted April 4, 2003 Author Share Posted April 4, 2003 Why don't you check yourself using an emulator? I've done that for the ones that have dumped ROMS available, but a lot of the hacks don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharky Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 Someone once told me it was River Raid what started the Vertical Shoot 'em ups... Am i right ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IBP Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 I have a river raid III, it got a quell-type label on it. It is totally different from either RRI or RRII, in RRIII you control a surface ship which is dropping torpedoes on submarines travelling at different depths. It's actually very very good. I am trying to get round to building an interface for my eprom reader so I can read 2600 carts. When I do I'll post a rom if anyone's interested.

I'd also buy it or trade for it if you want. PM me if you want to do a trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
