DT Kofoed Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 (edited) Bonus: favorite game named bugs? Bugs! [Data Age] I actually hate this game, but it DOES have an introductory 2001-esque space-warp for NO discernable reason, and that is AWESOME! (I can't even tell if I'm being sarcastic or sincere here) Edited February 5, 2017 by DT Kofoed 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vocelli Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 (edited) Vocelli Bonus: Alien Garden - Atari 400 I bought this game back in the day and it is so memorable because I honestly have no idea what the heck to do. You fly around and pollinate flowers but for no reason at all. I hope its rare because I still own the game. Lol.

Piggles Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 55,430 This game is crazy. I couldn't beat 40k for hours. This is the best I think I can do. Did this game have additional RAM on board? With all the sprites to be tracked, I'd be amazed if they did it with just 128 bytes on the 2600. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren Tyler Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 So what's my favorite game with Bugs? Spider Fighter! It's really colorful and full of fast action. Not to mention, the way you're defending your fruits from those spiders is really cool. The sound effects are really nice also. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karokoenig Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 For the bonus: "Apple Cider Spider" (Commodore 64, Sierra Online,1984) An early platformer, and one of the first games I "beat" back when I was a kid. "Beat" meaning that you're a little spider and have to reach the attic of an apple cider factory. That's 3 ("three") one-screen levels to a cute cutscene where your spider friends welcome you - and then it starts over. So, that's why I like that game. It's really cute, and I was actually somewhat good at it :-). Look it up on youtube. The spider party cutscene is something to behold. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DT Kofoed Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 New PB: 356,593 ...and I think that's all my hands can manage for tonight. Even the TAC-2 eventually gets me cramping. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oyamafamily Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 (edited) A game with bugs - ACTIVISION'S MEGAMANIA for 2600 (Third wave of each Megacycle) It's one of my favorite Activision games. I love playing this game on Guided Missiles variation (easier to score more points), but straight missile becomes this game more exciting!

Scrabbler15 Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 A game with bugs - Centipede (It's not Millipede ) I like this game for obvious reasons. In 1983, it changed my life. . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Well, they call the enemies in Galaga "bugs", but I prefer Galaga '88. Am I too late for the bonus point? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snakeboy Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 I was actually going to start playing last week but ended up forgetting about it. Glad I checked this week's game before it was too late. 354,761 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Danger Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Bonus: Ladybug! Just an all around fun game, challenging but not overly so. Adds another dimension to the pac man style of play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Ward Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Bonus: Frankenstein's Monster for the 2600. It has bugs (spiders) so I guess this counts. It is also a really great game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBubble Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Gahhh, 50437. They really milked a lot out of the ol' 2600 for this game! Good job Atari! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
