KevKelley Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 So a friend of mine posted online a vague memory of an Atari game. The only information to go off of is that you pick a character - man, woman, or child - and that you walk across several environments. And there is a volcano. It came on a cartridge and played with a joystick. They had ruled out Pitfall, Montezuma’s Revenge, Survival Island, and Crossbow, which they said didn’t look as detailed as they remember. I was coming up blank. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+KaeruYojimbo Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Maybe they got their consoles mixed up and they're thinking of 7800 Crossbow. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4ever2600 Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 (edited) Nevermind. I was guessing Crossbow 2600. Edited February 20, 2023 by 4ever2600 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willis Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 So they specifically said the game was on the 2600? I really can't think of any game that had the option to choose man, woman, or child before playing 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost Manor allows one to select a Boy or Girl playable character (and it's the only 2600 game that I know of with that option), and it has multiple screens, but no volcano. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see a kid looking at the hill in the game-over screen, with the red letters and logo scrolling into it, and thinking it's a volcano.
