JetmanUK Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 (edited) This arrived yesterday: Another Quelle game, Winterjagd. I believe it is a PAL only game, and like many of these Quelle releases it's available under multiple different names. I only discovered this game very recently when browsing ROMs in Stella. Sadly the cart doesn't look quite as nice as this now as I had to damage the label a little to take the cart apart, the mechanism is slightly dodgy. A work in progress fix. As it stands it works flawlessly in my mates 2600 Plus (mine is currently out of action) but it refuses to fit into my OG four and six switches properly. Chalk up a win for the new console's socket. Onto the game... First you take a ski down a beautiful snowy mountain, taking in the stunning views whilst a whimsical tune plays. Then stand your ground as marauding animals stampede towards you, but don't worry, you can mercilessly gun them down. Don't feel bad for them for too long as they are seemingly suicide bomber animals, as if they do reach you you explode into multiple pixels. A fun little game. I can't RTFM as there is no English section present. I will seek an English one out online. EDIT: I used Google lens to translate the manual. Not as much detail as you would have hoped for in there... Edited May 11 by JetmanUK 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the same cart in 2008 and the plastic around the contacts got broken, so I used some black tape to fix it😅 The cart did not fit well in a 7800 slot, so it was probably just a question of time when it breaks... Later I got the version from the pic, which is PAL as well but kept my Winterjagd of course 🤙 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad there weren't more bowling games on the 2600. There is that homebrew Strike Zone Bowling. Hopefully that gets a physical release. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do remember seeing the homebrew now that you mentioned it. Not sure if I tried that or not. Thank you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a cart comes out, I'll definitely buy it. Also, I think back in the day, it would have been nice if M Network ported the INTV Bowling to the 2600. That was a missed opportunity. Perhaps that was one of the cancelled titles. It would be nice if somehow Atari could release that game onto the 2600+. Here's hoping. 🤞 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrChickenz Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 I received this in the mail yesterday. I wasn’t expecting it to be in this condition. It was an open box but it looks like it was never played! 1 or 2 players. Pac Man clone? I guess but it just has a different feel and play. Definitely a lot of fun it keeps me coming back for more! Very smooth controls and responsive! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very smooth controls and responsive! I've always quite liked this game and I enjoy the smooth and flicker free graphics too. A lot better than Pac-Man on a technical level. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is NTSC only but now I could buy it for the 2600+ but the reviews were not so promising🤔 Sorry for the late response, but sometimes life gets busy.🙂. If you like baseball, it's a decent baseball video game. The bating and pitching is solid and works well. The fielding works well most of the time. My only complaint is the movement of each fielder is restricted to a zone in the field with invisible walls. So sometimes the ball will be just out of reach for a fielder and you'll have to switch to another fielder that is actually farther away. In order to field the ball.
