THE BIG CHRISTMAS 2600+ GIVEAWAY COMPETITION!

[bretthorror]

I would like Atari to release new games or new games in franchises. Or maybe something like Outlaw 2 which would be a different game of Outlaw (even in a different genre, say manning a cannon/gatling gun?) with a Player Vs. AI option of the original.

[neotokeo2001]

I would say homebrews like Amoeba Jump, Jaywalker and Spies In The Night 1&2 (make it a double cartridge!).

[+Zeptari]

2600+ I'd have to pick "this planet sucks" by Greg Troutman. Was the first homebrew I played over 20 gulp! years ago! And that will always make it special to me.

oh wait.. I can get that on the AA store! lol

I guess I'd have to pick the impossible then, I challenge you to bring princess rescue to the 2600+! Or Zippy the Porcupine in it's 64K glory!

7800 I'll love to see Rogue with sega genesis 6 button pad support and high score save. Or how about Halo 7800! The Chief needs a new mission!

Selfishly, Haunted Adventure Trilogy...

 

There was a working concept of 2600 Ballblazer. IMHO that would be great.

 

License the awesome 8k Pacman!

 

Make a 2600 Marble Madness!

 

Get the Star Raiders controller pad working!

 

I really like Adventure and Haunted House. I know there are many sequels already, but an Adventure+ or Haunted House+ based on the originals could still be done, like the enhanced Yars' Revenge in the Atari 50 Celebration.

I would love to see Crazy Climber re-released (even though I have a copy). My all-time favorite game deserves a new release

Not entirely sure who owns it anymore, but if possible, StarMaster by Activision, without question.  Played it relentlessly for years and it still holds up today.

Theoretically, all of the old Activision titles are now owned by Microsoft.

[TrekMD]

Oh, how about Phoenix for the 7800!  The 2600 port is the only home port, as far as I'm aware.  It would be great to see a port made for the 7800!

Jungle hunt

[Mockduck]

I will also say Crazy Climber, would be cool to get games that are too rare to reasonably get these days.

All the Swordquest games on a single cart!

this would definitely be an original idea! albeit a niche game.

Tempest for the Atari 2600 and the Atari 7800

[Boris K.]

I'd love to see an enhanced version of Alien Brigade for the 7800. It's an Atari Corp. title anyway, so there you go. It just would be great if it had additional Pokey sound.

 

On a side note, if you ever think of an "up-port" (well, it doesn't work this way, I know, but you might get the idea 😉 ), this title would also be great. If you're really feeling crazy, please, please make it a new Jaguar game - large sprites, some polygons in the background, nice arcade action - that would be truly amazing for the couple of Jaguar fans that still are out here.

[Living Room Arcade]

All you need to do to enter is post in this thread answering one question.... Tell me what game you'd like to see released by Atari in the future for the 2600+, an old re-issue, a homebrew, an enhanced re-issue, a brand new game, a downport, whatever.  

 

Atari 2600: Golf and Bowling

Atari 7800: Mean 18

The empire strikes back 

[Mauro Pallotta]

For 7800: Impossible Mission

For 2600: Pole Position

 

[MetalRedStar]

I would love to see the excellent Draconian for the 2600 or  even the long awaited (back in the day) Galagon.

Or an 7800 version of Draconian, as the 2600 homebrew has got additional HW and can't be dumped?

[gekko79]

Better version of ET game

[marmaliser]

Pole position - Just loved driving games as a kid

[waynel]

I'd like to see Atari release updated versions of the original launch titles.  They should be updated a bit for modern console capabilities (no more 4K limit), but also have the ability to be reverted to the original game, so people can compare new and old.

 

Pong with some taunting voice tracks might be interesting.

You can get Galagon homebrew on the Champ Games website.  They have both the ROM & the cart.  Thing is, the cart won't work on the 2600+.  But it'll work fine on the original console.

[pseudografx]

For me it would be Rikki & Vikki, fully working including the soundtrack.

[Dr.Crackers]

I think it'd be cool to see Tempest on the 2600. Whether a release of the prototype or a complete reimagining, I think we could have a lot of fun with it!

Ciao, vorrei Moon Patrol riveduto e corretto, grazie
