shane857 Posted February 26 Author Share Posted February 26 (edited) Weltraum tunnel/Space tunnel. Think it was released as cosmic corridor in the US? 🤔 Quite a simple shooter, yet really playable. 👍 Edited February 26 by shane857 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is it the horizontally scrolling Laser Gates? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great little game 👍 Yeah I've played the ROM a little, and although it's very simple and wouldn't win any awards for graphics and sound I thought it was fun. Hopefully my copy will arrive this week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shane857 Posted March 3 Author Share Posted March 3 I've had this game in my collection for a while. First time, I played it without reading the instruction manual and stopped playing after about 10 minutes or so thinking WTF am I supposed to do?? Tried playing it again today after actually reading the manual. Turns out you have to get rid of the nuclear particles as quickly as possible while trying to smash them into the control rods either side to stop the core from expanding. Great and underrated puzzle/strategy game. 😀 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+LS650 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 I picked up an Asteroids 7800 a few days ago and have been playing that a lot. It's a really decent port of Asteroids. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeM_ Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Lucked out and got myself a copy of Smurf: Rescue in Gargamel’s Castle that actually works on the 2600+. Was pleasantly surprised that though it’s simple, it’s a decent little platformer. Been playing it tonight, figuring out the nuances of it. Decent graphics. An actual soundtrack during gameplay. I like how it increases the difficulty on each run through. The platforming to me feels like a precursor to Super Mario Bros. in a way. Overall, I’m pretty happy to have found one working, and it was worth the hunt. This is a pretty good 2600 game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2LTIME6100 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Enjoyed a little game of Chopper Command today. I like the flap flap flap sound of the rotor blades and the great gameplay. Unfortunately, I often have to get up from my comfortable couch to use the reset button, so I probably still need a little training... 😉 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am currently playing the 2600+ connected to retrotink 2x pro. Which does not like 480p and the mclassic. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trakram Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 I have been playing Seaquest almost exclusively the past few weeks-gotten over 120,000 but, of course want more! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2LTIME6100 Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 (edited) 9 hours ago, LS650 said: 16:9... The pal version is in 4:3, TV (15 years old Panasonic) is in game mode. I've already checked that 16:9 would fill the entire width of the screen. Some PAL games have a rather wide display format, NTSC usually completely fills the height of the image. At least that's my experience. Are there PAL users for whom Chopper Command looks different? Edited March 7 by 2LTIME6100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have both games on my A800XL, Miner 2049 on cart and BBSB on Cassette. River Raid is a good game too, I like that...

shane857 Posted March 8 Author Share Posted March 8 Been playing this, on my original VCS thou. First time I have played it on actual hardware. This game is tough 💪 Would love to play it, and other touchpad games on the 2600+. Maybe the touchpad will be supported soon... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plumbob Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 I played for the first time today Stella’s Stocking on my 7800 on my CRT. That is a really fun game!! And I absolutely love the Christmas music that plays on the title screen. That alone made the purchase worth it. I’m totally going to set that up and leave it on playing music while I have family over this next Christmas. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shane857 Posted March 15 Author Share Posted March 15 Played Marauder for the first time today. I actually prefer this to Berzerk, thou it's similar. 💪 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shane857 Posted March 18 Author Share Posted March 18 Played these two games for the first time today.., Road Runner is really arcade feeling. The Difficulty ramps up quite a bit, thou not frustrating enough to stop playing. Crystal Castles is a great arcade port, In my opinion considering the hardware limitations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
