Chris-in-NJ Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 Just won Taz as part of a 5-game lot on eBay. Didn't bid for this game, but for Crystal Castles (the "star" game of the lot) which I loved before I sold all my 2600 games. Anyway, is Taz all that bad? It looks a bit like Jawbreaker, which a friend of mine had way back when. The seller claimed the lot was for 5 7800 games when they're all 2600! Shows how much he knows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 I think that "Taz" is pretty fun in short bursts. It's a bit like "Turmoil" in certain ways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanJr Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 Taz is loads of fun. Its a very simple game, and really has NOTHING to do with the Tasmainian Devil from the old WB cartoons, but its a lot of fast-paced manic fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophero Sly Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 I think Taz is a good game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sku_u Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 Taz/Asterix is a fun game in short bursts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaManFan Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 I have no problem with Taz. It's about middle of the pack for 2600 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inky Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 I love Taz. Great graphics, challening gameplay. All around a fun little game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hepcat Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 Who says it's bad? I always thought it was a pretty good game. --Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cvga Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 I really enjoy Taz. A great quick reflex game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyle Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 TAZ is a awesome game! Some critics wouldn't know a good game if it bit em in the ass! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindfield Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 Taz is kinda cool. It's pretty much like Asterix. Try it with a CX80 Trak Ball, though ... whole 'nother play experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Random Terrain Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 I think Turmoil is more fun than Taz, but I'd rather play Solar Fox than either one of those. Solar Fox is so great that it almost makes you want to cry, you know, because of the extra-crunchy, crispity goodness of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cootster Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 I think we know who didn't like Taz . . . And, well, let's not get into that debate again (and hope the Als have locked that thread by now). Personally, I like it, but I think it's a bit long. Great fun until you realize how long it is, though. As far as protos go, A-Team/Saboteur (which might share code with it), and Entity are similar as well . . . And Garfield, although it's a multi-screen platformer, uses the Taz kernel . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stayrunner Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 I think it's great! One of the better games for the 2600. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent X Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 I happen to like this game, too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyXB Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 I like Asterix more, because I have play it as child. And I think Taz is a bit heavier to control then Asterix. But maybe its only me, who think it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquid_sky Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 well taz is a big dude, asterix is an anorexic rabbit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moycon Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 well taz is a big dude, asterix is an anorexic rabbit! I thought he was a short viking looking dude?? Or are you talking about the Trix Rabbit? Why wouldn't those selfish ass kids give that poor rabbit Trix anyways? Little bastards. I would've gone and got Super Sugar Bear to maul the shit out out of them. Errmmm Taz is good....Ummm In short bursts....great reflex game...Great graphics, challening gameplay....better with CX80 roller controller, or so I've heard. Also try Solar Fox, or Turmoil Great fun until you realize how long it is, though. I think I'm still talking about the game..not sure, now I'm confused.

Thomas Jentzsch Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 ...asterix is an anorexic rabbit! Well, at least when compared to Obelix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
