Breakout is rather a bit simplistic, port of Krakout would be great. BTW, with Medieval Mayhem paddles work quite well. This is really fun game. This is a great idea, more modern paddle games! I often wonder why Atari never made an Arcade version of PONG for the Atari 2600. I know there is Video Olympics with many variations in the game. But for some reason I didn’t find it as entertaining as original Pong. Yes it was in color but I never really liked it in color, and the on screen paddles seem smaller. I liked the B/W PONG with the sounds and scoring. Video Olympics just didn’t have that feel to it. One would think that the Atari 2600 has the capability for an Arcade version of PONG. It was released after the home versions of PONG correct? Edit: Home version of PONG release date 1975 Atari 2600 release date 1977 Atari 2600+ release date 2023 Edited September 2 by MrChickenz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have to agree with paddle enthusiasts. Super Breakout and Kaboom are two top paddle games for Atari. While playable technically I wouldn’t consider them working titles. Seems to me your limited to how far you can score in these games due to the paddles/emulation not having the response that it should for these games. And I know @DEANJIMMY is having an issue with Circus Atari and Medieval Mayhem as well. So paddle support should have priority especially if you want the Atari 2600+ to be as authentic as possible. This is where many Flashbacks failed. As well as Track Ball support! Edited September 2 by MrChickenz 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is how we learn. I read through this thread and my opinion is that there were some fun, silly, answers to lighten the stress. For me, R6 is a fantastic release and behind the scenes, I just know Plaion is working VERY hard to move forward. I gotta admit, between the "Animal House" and "Mr. Bean" responses, they had me giggling. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my NTSC cart wouldn't dump without glitches for many dumper releases but it will be fine in the future, as the dumper is still developped forward🤙 Circus was not as good as on real HW with same paddles. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
