DEANJIMMY Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 2 hours ago, sramirez2008 said: Sub Scan starts out slow, but stick with it. This and Tac-Scan are a couple of my favorites from an artwork and extras point of view. The instructions double as a poster. My CIB Sega games are Star Trek, Sub SCan and Tac-Scan. The complete box looks absolutely great🤙 My Tac Scan PAL did not start on V1.0 and/or the paddles did not work. Did not try it again on V1.1🤔 Should it work on the 2600+?

For me, some of the best games on Atari, and definitely the prettiest carts I've never played any of those games, but those cartridges definitely look great. I like the colors of the cartridges themselves, the artwork and the way they did the writing up top. It all makes for a very visually appealing experience, and that's without even playing the games. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When my final cart arrives I will too. 🤟🏻 Did you try Tutankham? It's a maze shooter, but it scrolls, it's fun, then from there Entombed is quite good too... That's also a scroller but the shooting is gone, you break walls instead. Going off on a tangent here. 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Intellivision Master Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 (edited) 16 hours ago, JetmanUK said: Let's have some fun and speculate. Here's two: Super Mega Breakout Plus An enhanced game with Arkanoid style power ups and new brick types and layouts. Combat Enhanced Single player, all the old maps plus new ones too. Some speech added, well, cos speech was always cool on old consoles/computers. 🤷🏻 Speech suggestions - On the title screen, "Combat... Enhaaaaaanced!" When you win in single player "Victory!" At the end of a multi player game "Player 1/2 wins!" When you lose in single player "Awwwww" 🤷🏻🤣 I like your ideas. Combat Enhanced single player with an AI opponent would be nice. Here are some of mine: Bowling but it would be with a first person or third person view. Maybe have an option to switch back & forth. Also, have a strike mode where you always get a strike. Can never have too much of them. Dig Dug with power ups could be interesting. Such as all enemies get blasted off screen when using a certain power up. That would be funny. Phantom Panzer/Phantom Tank but with no flickering enemy tanks. Because that's annoying. Maybe in the game you become invisible for a while. That would be cool. Then you attack the enemies and they can't shoot since they don't see you. Sub Scan where the depth charges drop faster and enemies fire at you. Lastly I would pick Space Invaders with updated visuals and different weapon upgrades. It'd be nice to see that happen for the 2600 version.

+sramirez2008 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 1 hour ago, Intellivision Master said: There's a game called Star fire. But it's hard to find. It's a homebrew. I played it on here. https://www.free80sarcade.com/ IMO Star Fire is one of the best shooters available for the 2600. It,s a very challenging game with a great title screen and excellent music. When the game originally came out, a score of 3,500 or greater would have earned you a patch. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No reply yet. Apparently anything over £135 you incur extra charges. So i assume it's just the cost of the item(s) you purchase and the postage to the U.K 🤔 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a lot of people in PAL land would buy carts from AtariAge but are put off by the shipping / duty 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After looking at Sub Scan earlier (when I was reminded of the name) I agree that more speed and subs that fire back like the arcade version would definitely improve the game immensely. Heres another idea, as Atari lost the Battlezone licence, how about... Combat 3D! Battlezone like in it's tank mode, but with mazes, then the plane modes are a dog fight with some clouds to obscure things a little. If Atari only want to do the tank mode then call it Combat Tank 3D. Two Combat titles! It is a ubiquitous Atari game after all, every lot of games seems to have it and I somehow have multiple copies myself, it was a pack game too, it's great but limited, it deserves the updates. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Karnov Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 If Atari and AtariAge are now one and the same, maybe they will see how well Berzerk Enhanced and Mr Run and Jump have sold, and just start selling more and more carts through mainstream vendors like Amazon 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Karnov Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 I just checked, if I order a single cart (without box) to the UK from AtariAge, it's $28.75 shipping. So Berzerk Voice Enhanced, cart only, would cost me over £46, which is almost double what Berzerk Enhanced would cost me on Amazon UK. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The graphics are quite blocky not to say ugly but I remember it did play quite well. I would only recommend it, either if you want to complete your collection or are a Miner fan. Threshold and Marauder are very good, Polaris is good, Miner in my opinion OK (some say bad). What about Jaw Breaker?

Based on what I've played of it so far, Jawbreaker is my least favourite Tigervision game. Which is strange because I think it's the most highly regarded one. I should play it some more but it hasn't captivated me so far 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+sramirez2008 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 (edited) Btw, below is what comes with SEGA Star Trek. Note that the Star Trek, Sub Scan and Tac-Scan boxes are a bit taller than the regular Atari styled boxes.
