It's that time again, the weather is hotter, the days are longer, and the Atari VCS is begging for attention. This is the 3nd Annual Atariage Activision Patches Summer Quest. Starting now until Labor Day Monday (September 4th) we are going to have some fun and see who can qualify for the most Activision patches on the Atari 2600 Activision games!

Rules:

All games may be played on an Atari VCS/2600/Jr console or equivalent (Coleco Gemini, Colecovision Expansion Module #1, Atari 5200 VCS adapter, Atari 7800, Atari Flashbacks, emulation, etc). You can use the Activision Anthology games as well.

No save states, cheats, or cartridge frying.

Take photos or a youtube video to submit your target score or time.

For games with multiple patches (Decathlon, Robot Tank, etc) if you qualify for the highest patch, you automatically qualify for the lesser patches also.

No old scores allowed. Have to be from June 21st to September 4th of 2017 to be official.

Have fun, challenge yourself or friends, but have fun.

In 2015, we earned 236 patches

*I will keep track of who has earned which patches in this post, I expect to do updates (at least) weekly.

Woohoo, this is back again! I'd say I did alright in the past years, but there were some patches that I kinda refused to go for...

 

Onto the patches for me, all of these ones were using emulation as these are some of the games which I can never find locally on cart. USB CX-40s were used for control until I broke them on Decathlon and swapped to one of my wired PS3 controllers.

 

1 - Ice Hockey

 

UWG1Z1sl.jpg

 

This one is always really easy to get - even though the computer was scoring on me, I wasn't that nervous about the whole thing and just quit trying in the last thirty seconds and let them catch up a bit as I was ahead by enough to be confident with where I was at.

 

2 - River Raid

 

ZAnmKkVl.jpg

 

Not the easiest patch in the world but not really that hard, as long as you don't make stupid moves and ram into the sides like I did a few times you'll be fine anyways.

 

3, 4, and 5 - Decathlon

 

KbDFSBsl.jpg

 

Ow, my hand really hurts - this game is torture but I knew I could get the patch so I stuck with it. I broke two of my USB CX-40s in the process of doing this and ended up using a Rock Candy wired PS3 controller in the end as it's easier to mash side to side with a d-pad - the sticks were really cheap though so I don't care too much. This isn't the best score I've done overall, but within the past five months this is probably my best score I've got. In the end, I'm super happy I got this on my fourth attempt as if I hadn't then I'd only have given it one more attempt before just accepting the silver patch - I really don't want to do this game again.

 

6 - Freeway

 

k3WmTrxl.jpg

 

 

Alright, so this one isn't that hard - easier than River Raid, anyways. It's all about knowing when to move, and even that doesn't take much work - it took all of two attempts for me anyways and I haven't played this since last year. I will say playing this after Decathlon wasn't that great but whatever, it's just up and down - it's nothing complex.

 

So for one day of games, I'm really happy with where I'm at. I think I'll be swapping to using the MAMECade for the rest of the emulated cartridges soon here as it may be a bit easier with a stick and spinner on some of these over a wired PS3 controller, but for now I'll stick with my PC and maybe bring out the Atari soon here for some Pitfall. The ultimate goal is to get as many of these as possible, but if I can get the Laser Blast Million without having to use the pause feature on an emulator then I may just quit there.

I have gotten myself so far the chopper commandos, flying ace, sub club, and world class dragster club.

this seems like it will be a fun event, I don't know how many more I can get but I will definitely try!

Impressive Dragster time DarQ

thanks, the "unbeatable score" on dragster got me hooked on the game, I spent a lot of time playing it over the last few months, so I've gotten pretty good at it in my opinion, still barely make it below 6 secs most time though.

I hate Stampede. Congrats to those that can get 3000. To me it seems like the difficulty is instantly there.

 

Don't really like Dragster either. Every time I get close to breaking 6 seconds the engine blows right at the finish line.

Ice Hockey:

Before this, I lost two times in the last second, lost another by a goal, then I started to play better and was trying to win by ten.

 

 

Pitfall:

post-61144-0-60994000-1498317472_thumb.jpg

I've never done the full twenty minutes, so I decided to stay away from the scorpions and take a careful approach.

What's the real-world equivalent of taking the easy path by running to the left and getting all the money in Pitfall? Masters of Business Administration?
