Han Posted July 18, 2003 Share Posted July 18, 2003 I just recently found my first 2600 game in the wild. And I have been unable to find it in the AtariAge Rarity Guide. A photo is included. Unfortunately the cart doesn’t work, anyone know what this game might be about? I do find the label to be a bit disturbing and scary ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari and Beer Posted July 18, 2003 Share Posted July 18, 2003 I got that game too....but Joe Dirt is on the label Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZylonBane Posted July 18, 2003 Share Posted July 18, 2003 How could Joe Dirt be on a game released in 1983? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

candiru Posted July 18, 2003 Share Posted July 18, 2003 I too have this game. I believe it was only given out to employees of the Aqua Net Hair Spray company during the 1980s. The gameplay is similar to Plaque Attack except you fight off nasties like dandruff, fleas, and small burrowing rats that seek to destroy your mullet. This game is also unique in that it is one of the few Atari 2600 games with an ending. If you protect your mullet long enough it will become truly glorious and attract the attention of a woman with a similarly stunning beehive hairdo. The ending screen treats you to a beautifully rendered scene (by 2600 standards) of a wedding ceremony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Han Posted July 18, 2003 Author Share Posted July 18, 2003 ZylonBane: I was referring to the Joe Dirt version .. candiru: Sounds like a great game. Maybe you’re interested in purchasing it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Atari Posted July 18, 2003 Share Posted July 18, 2003 That's weird, I have Joe Dirt, but it's for the 7800. It's cool, it's like a side scrolling beat-'em-up, and it even has digitized speech. "Why don't you talk into the microphone?" "I live for the chickies!" "Dannnng!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Room 34 Posted July 18, 2003 Share Posted July 18, 2003 Well it's obviously a fake ... Gosh, no, really? Warning to all AA newbies: The humor circuitry in the ZylonBane 3000 is not yet fully operational. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking, maybe he can buy himself a sense of humour. I have heard that one can get them really cheap on Ebay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Room 34 Posted July 18, 2003 Share Posted July 18, 2003 OK... I guess he does have a sense of humor. Some people like to be devil's advocate... some like to be a wet blanket. I like to complain about both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NovaXpress Posted July 18, 2003 Share Posted July 18, 2003 Am I the only ZylonBane fan around here? His postings are guaranteed gold. For one thing you can usually count on him being right about whatever he says (that makes him even more annoying to you doesn't it). Then the kicker is that he is extremely angry about every single subject for no good reason at all. In my book, that's entertainment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moycon Posted July 18, 2003 Share Posted July 18, 2003 Sometimes watching people hurt themselves bad is entertaining too.... Like when someone walks into a wall and falls on their ass. HAwHAw. Even when they get up and their nose is bleeding, You feel bad but you can't help but be entertained by the stupidity of the person. Nice picture Han, Is it all done in Photoshop or did you make a lable and slap it on a cart?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Han Posted July 18, 2003 Author Share Posted July 18, 2003 Thx Moycon! The label itself was done in Photoshop and then the cart with the label was rendered in 3DS Max ... Since I dont have a colour printer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I should change my avatar to the Hulk. Hey, I'm not angry about this thread. I think it's cool. The anachronism of the Joe Dirt suggestions just bugged me.

Actually I'm a ZylonBane fan myself although once or twice I think he has gotten a little overzealous, let's say. I think some of the folks here are a little quick to jump on him most of the the time. I'm sure I've done it myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wet Blanket Posted July 18, 2003 Share Posted July 18, 2003 Why is it that there is a low-level part of my brain that actually makes me interpret those "AFV" clips as being humorous when the producers of the show overdub absurd sound effects?

Brad2600 Posted July 18, 2003 Share Posted July 18, 2003 Speaking of mullets, there's gonna be a show called "The Mullets" on Fox. Perhaps they will release a game with Joe Dirt on the cover? A real game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
