I never had it back in the day! I’m intrigued by the game and on the lockout for it but it’s hard to find here in Germany. There are some cartridges sold in the UK but shipping is more expensive than the game itself unfortunately. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congo Bongo you have there is in pretty good condition! I actually like Congo Bongo 2600, even thou it only has 2 screens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Thunderground as well. It's a fun tank game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the entire collection made by Atari for the 7800. Took me a few years, though. Waiting to see what surprises you come up with!

There are some cartridges sold in the UK but shipping is more expensive than the game itself unfortunately. I played this on one of the Evercade collections and it’s actually more challenging than the arcade version I found. I can’t say I’d seek it out myself given I can play the arcade game in a couple places on my PS5 and the 2600 version on my Evercade VS, but I’d definitely pick it up if I saw it in a shop. Same for the 2600 Centipede, which was surprisingly good given the basic visuals - I prefer it to the 7800 version, just because the play is smoother. Too many people seem to equate the 2600 with games like Outlaw, but there are very competent, if visually unimpressive arcade ports. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course my 5 year old couldn't help himself and ripped it open as soon as it arrived. 😆 Smart boy! These games are for playing!😁 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_rogue_1 Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 This came in today. It took several re-inserts until the game was running on the 2600+. Looked better on my 130XE back in the days, but the essence of the game is there. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked better on my 130XE back in the days, but the essence of the game is there. I have that game but it has a different label. Also, it took a couple tries to get the cart to work on the console. Sometimes a cart has to be inserted a certain way then it's fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like it! There are better versions but the game play is good! I believe it has cooperative play also! Not many games offer that for the 2600 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+LS650 Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Am I right in saying that in Wizard of Wor, single-player must use port #2, not port#1? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm not sure if that goes for the Atari 2600+. I'll have to try it again on the 2600+ and see if it's the same. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s weird, you use the left joystick but control the character on the right in single player mode. 🤷♂️ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But friendly fire is always on, just like in Joust. 😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must've been doing 2 player mode. Next time, I'll do the single player mode with the controller on the right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
