joeybastard Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 I've been playing on Konami Advanced thru my GBA player on the GC. It kicks ass, I always preferred Scramble to Super Cobra. As for systems Scramble came out for, the only one I can think of is the C64 and GB. Didn't everybody else get Super Cobra? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christianscott27 Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 theres a suprisingly good table top version from tomy, tomy also used this license on its obscure computer the tomy tutor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE146 Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 Scramble is one of my all time FAVORITES . It's mostly a nostalgia thing.. as Scramble is probably one of the first games that had a mythos to me as a kid where I'd lie in bed wondering what happened "at the end" It's kind of hard to pit it against Super Cobra though.. that's sort of like pitting Stargate againsts Defender. As far as home versions go.. yeah you had the Vectrex version.. and I never played the C64 version (or even seen it). However since Super Cobra has been ported to all sorts of systems including the 2600, I still say like always there's no reason why a decent port of Scramble (at least on par with Parker Bros. Super Cobra) couldn't be made for the 2600 .. or any classic console for that matter. There are other versions of Scramble that reached home in handheld format of course as well. The most popular (and really good one I might add) is the Tomy version. Good stuff Also there's an LCD and VFD version made by Epoch/Grandstand. I only have the LCD version, but I'd love to try the VFD version sometime. Here's some shots: Tomy VFD Scramble Grandstand VFD Scramble Epoch LCD Scramble And apparently there was a version or two of Scramble for the Tomy Tutor.. but I've never personally seen it outside of the Interweb Tomy Tutor Scramble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyDevil Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 Scramble and Super Cobra are both on the Konami Arcade Classics for the PS1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shining slade Posted April 26, 2004 Author Share Posted April 26, 2004 The most popular (and really good one I might add) is the Tomy version. Good stuff I've played this before, but I cannot remember where. I think one of my friends had it when I was a kid. I wonder what an actual arcade version would go for these days?

Jess Ragan Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 I really liked Astro Command by Epoch... it was basically Scramble with a different name. It was a whole lot of fun. I sure wish I still had mine, along with that tabletop version of Crazy Climber I had back when I was a kid. JR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveW Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 I always thought that the Tomy Tutor was based on the Texas Instuments Home Computer, so it's odd that it didn't make the leap over to the TI-99/4A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ze_ro Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 I don't mind Scramble... but I really suck at it. I don't think I've ever gotten to the final screen, and I rarely even make it past the meteor shower. The Konami Arcade Advanced version is good, and it even has updated graphics if you use the Konami code. I also have an old Entex tabletop version of Super Cobra which is quite good, although I'm missing the battery covers. --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE146 Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 I rarely even make it past the meteor shower. Stay low as you can hiding behind the highest mountain you can find! Then when the coast is clear, "hop" over the mountain to hide again. This works generally well in keeping you clear of having to maneuver to avoid the meteors.

DeV0 Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 That Tomy hand held is excellent, I did have 2 of them and traded one. I'll keep my hands on the spare one. Apart from the vectrex one i dont think ive ever played it on any other system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 I love Scramble (and Super Cobra), but could never afford to pump in enough quarters when I was a kid to get good enough at Scramble to finish it. How does Scramble end?? ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeybastard Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 Hmmm... I guess I'm wrong about a C64 version but I could swear there was one. Old age cathcing uptome I guess! Sorry for the misinformation, all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Konami released Super Cobra instead. But I definitively like Scramble more. Beside, Scramble is considered to be the unofficial prequel of Gradius. Hmm... I would love to play Scramble on the ColecoVision... :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamerz Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 Hmm... I would love to play Scramble on the ColecoVision... :wink: I would too, I wonder who could pull off making a CV version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeybastard Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 maybe I'm not going senile, here's the C64 clone I was thinking of. I knew I had it somewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
