Thomas Jentzsch Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Attached is a spreadsheet listing created by CloneSpy using AtariMania's V16 collection (minus multi carts). 594 in total, but you can remove a few (e.g. "208 in 1 Menu", "Color Bar Generator" or Zoo Keeper Sounds and some early prototypes). But I suppose >550 will still remain. BTW: There are only very few PAL only games. And some are really worth a play (e.g. Imagic's Wing War) and exist as TV format conversions.

+ZeroPage Homebrew Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Thank you so much for the list Thomas, it will be very helpful compiling all the games to play later this year! I will probably be removing all the multicart compilations, hacks and utility carts. I'll probably be removing all the prototypes as well since they weren't released during the original run of the system and weren't available for people to buy/play. Good idea on the TV format conversions so I'll be able to play them all on my NTSC console, plus I'll make sure to play all the 'fixed' versions of games so I don't get screen rolling/blanking. - James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ZeroPage Homebrew Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 I was able to find some more resources for release dates that will probably cover 95% of the 2600 games. Now I just have to slog through it all and merge the data: https://www.atariarchive.org/atari-vcs-game-release-dates/ https://www.randomterrain.com/atari-2600-memories.html#memories https://mcurrent.name/atarihistory/wci_games.html - James 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will definitely be including PAL-only releases in the marathon but I don't think there's much/any release date information in the links I have. I'll probably have to research them separately. - James 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted April 2, 2022 Author Share Posted April 2, 2022 Wikipedia has some info too. Of course most PAL games are just conversions or Taiwanese pirates of NTSC games. But I suppose maybe 20 are really PAL exclusive (Fatal Run, Klax, Wing Wars, Ghostbusters II, My Golf, Pick 'n Pile, Acid Drop, the Videogems games...).

+littaum Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 For the Mystique games, I think Nathan Strum's idea mentioned during the last stream of turning off the video feed and just watching your reactions and your attempts to describe what is going on in the screen in tactful terms would be most entertaining.

I agree, I think that was an excellent suggestion from @Nathan Strum as it allows us to play EVERY game without skipping over any! - James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Jentzsch Posted August 10, 2022 Author Share Posted August 10, 2022 Some of the games (e.g. Gopher) would work much better with paddles. And Gopher seems to have a simple enough display kernel to make it work with paddles quite easily. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a really tough game with a joystick and I don't think any of the gameplay would be changed that much with it. - James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
