Whisper Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 No way man. In real life such a pin would be hard to hit, not in Bowling though Funny, I played this game even yesterday, I kind of like it. Probably because I can throw one strike after another on the Atari and in real life probably one in a whole game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cootster Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 Mine: The Qotile The FBI agent from ET That bunny rabbit in Qb The unseen person in Pressure Cooker who puts stuff you don't need on the conveyor. But last, and definitely not least, The fruit-tossing monkeys from Crossbow . . . Or more aptly, the really tiny fruit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

black dog Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 I don't know about the best villian but for the nastiest I have to agree with Rick and say MM from Halloween. Any character that goes around knifing children has to be considered the most evil for the 2600. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cootster Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 Eh, Leatherface was better . . . He had a chainsaw . . . But I don't guess he's technically a "villain" as you control him in the game . . . So I cast a Honorable Mention for that chick that runs away from Leatherface and lets him get stuck behind cacti. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cimerians Posted March 23, 2004 Author Share Posted March 23, 2004 I should have asked who the wimpiest villain was.... I was playing Vanguard the other day and Gond has to be the easiest boss kill ever. I mean, dodging and shooting balloons and ships and finally reaching Gond and its like...... one shot and he's gone. The mostly stationary "tanks" in Laser Blast were pretty pathetic too.

NovaXpress Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Ah, but the challenge with Gond is to get the highest bonus! 2600 aside, the worst video game villian in history is Old Scratch himself from Satan's Hollow because it's such an anticlimax. As Eg put it back in the day, after all that work Satan turns out to be nothing more than a "crudely-drawn, pitchfork-hurling annoyance."

Adrian M Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Ah, but the challenge with Gond is to get the highest bonus! 2600 aside, the worst video game villian in history is Old Scratch himself from Satan's Hollow because it's such an anticlimax. As Eg put it back in the day, after all that work Satan turns out to be nothing more than a "crudely-drawn, pitchfork-hurling annoyance." Funny you bring this up. As a youth, I remember playing Satan's Hollow at some Pizza Hut restaurant and I was convinced that Satan was actually that menacing large head which appeared periodically and blanketed the screen with that flame shower! Pretty logical, isn't it? But nooooo....later on I found out that Satan was actually that crudely drawn mini-devil who actually turned out to be easier to kill than that flame spouting head.

rogueleader Posted March 27, 2004 Share Posted March 27, 2004 Evil Otto! Definately (Ha! Ha! Huminoid) I hate games that mock you! And I have a sneaky suspicion that Evil Otto is related to that annoying Wal-Mart Smiley Face. (Perhaps he is the one that goes and RAISES the prices after the oher guy lowers them!)

kisrael Posted March 27, 2004 Share Posted March 27, 2004 Left/right asteroids in Cosmic Ark. Yeah, I always hated how there was a "asteroids, no pick up mode" but not the opposite...I loved those cute little creepy crawlie things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saikyo Posted March 27, 2004 Share Posted March 27, 2004 The different fish in scubadiver man were they hard to harpoon (still are!) as for the Easiest enemie, obstacle or villain has to go to all the enemies in Revenge Of The Beefsteak Tomatoes!

Megamaniac Posted March 28, 2004 Share Posted March 28, 2004 My most hated/feared... The damn red balls in keystone capers. The guy that throws daggers in private eye is pretty heinous too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcprs1 Posted March 29, 2004 Share Posted March 29, 2004 One of the toughest and scariest are the Cobra ships in Solaris. I love their introduction by flying together from both sides of the screen. Scares the hell out of you. Once they are there, they don't stop firing at you. I have lost many a life trying to shoot them all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stingray Posted March 29, 2004 Share Posted March 29, 2004 I think in superman the floating kryptonite pieces are far worse than the helicopter! -S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 How about the helicopter carrying the kryptonite, with all of the great sound that goes with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaggy the Atarian Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 The worst annoyance villian for me is while playing Warlords you don't hold the button down and the ball goes behind your paddle and whacks the smeg out of your castle. But the worst actual villian I would have to vote for the robots(combined with the water) in Mines of Minos. Those little things piss me off!

Fredde Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 As you can probably see from my avatar, my favorite villain has to be...Evil Otto! That happy smile makes him look friendly and nice, and then, when you least expect it, he bounces all over you! What a sneaky bastard! Oh, and he's invincible.
