XEGS88 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 So far I've seen 9 games mentioned out of the 25 built into The400 Mini: Lee, Berzerk, Millipede, Miner 2049er, M.U.L.E, Star Raiders II, Capture the Flag, Boulderdash, Yoomp! Let's speculate on the other 16. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's speculate on the other 16. For me, assuming they'll be older classics rather than newer ones, I reckon at least one of the following will feature: Alley cat Henry's House Rescue on Fractalus Missile Command Pole position Dig dug Keystone Capers Tapper Zybex Draconus Kikstart Donkey kong Pacman Defender Dropzone International Karate 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pseudografx Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 (edited) The announcement video also shows footage/images of Battlezone, Elektra Glide, Henry's House and Seven Cities of Gold. Edited January 11 by pseudografx 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Gillman Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Missile Command always feels incorrect because nobody has a trackball controller. My all time favorites were always MULE four players mode and Mr.Do for single player fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irgendwer Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 According to the web page it is included: I guess "Archon" could also be part of the release... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's speculate on the other 16. I see Star Raiders II mentioned, but surely they'll pack in the original Star Raiders! I always enjoyed The Last Starfighter/Star Raiders II, and it's a decent enough game, but it ain't no Star Raiders. It's hard to imagine selling an Atari mini without the original killer title. 4 hours ago, Geister said: But what BASIC is packed in? I wouldn't be surprised to see no BASIC included. I'd say the focus will be on games. That's just my opinion though. Also, you can find it on atari.com too, and there's a photo slideshow showing games. Assuming all of the ones shown are actually included, we can add Battlezone, The Seven Cities of Gold, Airball, and Crystal Castles to the list of included titles. https://atari.com/products/atari-400-mini Edited January 12 by bfollowell 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrathchild Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 The Seven Cities of Gold seems an odd one as had disk-flipping, building new maps to a map disk and so would be interesting how they'd streamline that for the user? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the keyboard is not functional (as most of us suspect), supplying a game out of 25 which isn't playable out of the box sounds strange. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Star Raiders II isn't playable out of the box, unless they remap some of the controls to some of the extra buttons on the joystick. It required keyboard commands as well, five or six different keys if memory serves, so your reasoning really doesn't hold true.

Defender and Dropzone are the same game really, my money would be on Dropzone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rybags Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 So, Yoomp! Let's hope they're paying for the use of modern releases intended as freeware. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is one of the confirmed games that is supposedly included. Remapping wouldn't really be a concern as anyone interested in trying THE A8 classic would add it themselves if it wasn't included and would add a keyboard. It's still hard to imagine not having it in there though. It'd be like an XBOX Mini not having Halo or an MS-DOS Mini not having Doom.

XEGS88 Posted January 12 Author Share Posted January 12 Updating the list of definites from what people have seen: Lee, Berzerk, Millipede, Miner 2049er, M.U.L.E, Star Raiders II, Capture the Flag, Boulderdash, Yoomp! Missile Command, Battlezone, The Seven Cities of Gold, Airball, Crystal Castles, Henry's House, Elekta Glide That's 16 so 9 more to guess. I wonder if Hardball could be one as Atari owns that now. There's a few others in the Atari 50 collection that could be included too. Maybe Food Fight (although I hope not as the XEGS version so much worse than the 7800 one) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it was already a part of "Atari 50: the Anniversary Celebration", I think so. Browsing through the list of A800 games there, we could expect "Caverns of Mars" and "Bounty Bob Strikes Back" too...

If adding your own games is really a feature, then they would need BASIC because some games require it 4 hours ago, Wrathchild said: The Seven Cities of Gold seems an odd one as had disk-flipping, building new maps to a map disk and so would be interesting how they'd streamline that for the user? Probably came as part of the MULE deal. It will be interesting how they deal with multiple disks. 2 hours ago, XEGS88 said: I wonder if Hardball could be one as Atari owns that now.
