~llama Posted December 23, 2003 Share Posted December 23, 2003 well, in all my discussion of Pitfall I've downloaded Stella downstairs on my iMac, and i cant find the Pitfall ROM anywhere on the internet (why isnt it available on AA?) so if someone could PM me a link to Pitfall, i would be their friend forever (or at least a few weeks) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AA has a good relationship with Activision, and in fact, there's a guy from activision on here who's a regular AA forum denzien, (and a cool guy to boot ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~llama Posted December 23, 2003 Author Share Posted December 23, 2003 I've just received them from an anonymous donor... yeah i figured it was because of the Anthologies and such, which is cool, i just dont have a GBA or i'd have bought it already Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moycon Posted December 23, 2003 Share Posted December 23, 2003 GBA wasnt the only collection it was available on. PC, PS1, PS2 are included as well... So get yer wallet ready....Unless you have...None of those. *gasp* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~llama Posted December 23, 2003 Author Share Posted December 23, 2003 i have a PSOne... so i'll look for it for that. I have the Atari Anniversary Edition collection on PC its fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moycon Posted December 24, 2003 Share Posted December 24, 2003 In my opinion many Activision games do not work well with the modern controllers. Games like Kaboom for obvious reasons, but even a game like sea quest. I had a hard time with. My high score is about double using the ol Atari joystick, as opposed to the PS2 controller. By the same token, there are other games that play better using the newer controllers... Pitfall and Pitfall 2 are included. I actually would rather play these games with pad.

Atariboy Posted December 24, 2003 Share Posted December 24, 2003 How come Atariage is keeping the Activision roms in the the bundles of roms then? http://www.atariage.com/system_items.html?...&ItemTypeID=ROM They've been there for quite some time.

Atariboy Posted December 28, 2003 Share Posted December 28, 2003 That's what I assume with the relationship between Atariage and Activision, so I thought it might be time for me to mention it. Realized it months ago, but I was afraid to say anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquid_sky Posted December 28, 2003 Share Posted December 28, 2003 He must be mistaken. Just downloaded the rom packs and i see no activision games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atariboy Posted December 28, 2003 Share Posted December 28, 2003 This pic shows the zip folder, the date the folder was downloaded, and the date it was accessed.

Atariboy Posted December 28, 2003 Share Posted December 28, 2003 lol I'm not sure if that was an insult or a joke that he said. But it doesn't matter since it was just a minor oversight to begin with. I shouldn't of even mentioned it I suppose since it didn't really matter, just was trying to be helpful.

oesii Posted December 28, 2003 Share Posted December 28, 2003 don't worry about it, I think most of us are just kidding. If you don't know how to find a Pitfall rom on your own this day and age you have bigger problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted December 28, 2003 Share Posted December 28, 2003 I think we really should continue this public discussion, just to make 100% sure that each and every Activision ROM gets removed. BTW: There exists something like private mail! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NovaXpress Posted December 28, 2003 Share Posted December 28, 2003 I felt raw about AA taking down the Activision roms at first, especially because no one would give me a good explanation. As it turns out AtariAge was actively working with Activision to make that anthology a reality, taking down the ROMs was the right thing to do for everyone and allows Activison to fully protect their copyrights which they have every right to do. I think it was Thomas who finally explained it in an older thread. Activision could be real dicks about chasing down the ROMs all over the net but they'd rather just guide fans to their anthology through great sites like this one. I just wanted to say that I felt bad about my early criticism, made before the AA-Anthology connection was publicized. I gotta say Ive never seen one instance where the AtarAge people didn't have the best interest of gamers at heart. And while I don't care for all their products, I have to say that Activision still treats the classic gamers better than we could have dreamed. If another 2600 company like Tigervision was still powerful today we may have had things a lot tougher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's nice to show they have some active interest in the user community. Unlike some other companies cough*ninten*cough*do... cough*cough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
