TailChao Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 A quick poll, in Zonik, in between each level there is a "waiting room" where you can spend some rings to get some repairs or extra lives, and then pass on to the next level. Tailz and Knucklez are sitting in front of a 2600, tails is playing it, since I've never been much of a 2600er I've decided to let the people of Atariage Decide what Tails should be playing. Any APPROPRIATE 2600 game is fine (No General Custard Alike stuff ) the first game to get 16 votes from different people will be chosen, thanks!

joeybastard Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 Space Invaders. It's what really made people notice the VCS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike OC Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 ADVENTURE!!!!! You could limit the choices to one player games only. Is there a possibility of posting a screen shot of the winning game being played? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stingray Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 I was under the impression that since they are both sitting in front of it, it should be a two player game which is why I chose Combat. -S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jess Ragan Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 Why, MegaMania, of course! I also whipped up a mock picture of Sonic on the 2600 which might come in handy. Let me know if you want it and I'll send it off to you. JR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moycon Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 I vote for H.E.R.O. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Ragan Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 I've got a better idea. Make a parody of Pitfall! using Moycon's character Pitfall Hairy. It's about time we actually saw him in a video game. JR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari Rescue Group Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 Might take a while to get 16 votes for one game. I'm voting for Indy 500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chairmonkey4406 Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 Adventure...and by the way, when do you think Zonik will be completed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
povlok1 Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 if you are trying to be correct in the time period.. even tho the ports was lame.. Space Invaders and then Pacman was the ones that really kicked up the sales of the 2600. I was 9 when atari came out.. we got ours when Space Invaders hit..that was the winter EVERY kid had a atari;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariDude Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 That was a time when Atari was golden. They could do no wrong at that time. That was the time when my sister and I pestered our parents to get us a VCS because all our friends had one. After we got it, you literally had to tear us away from it for a few weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saikyo Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 Argh you have all missed the best one! The Lord Of The Rings!! (either proto or homebrew) Sonic and Tails grab rings right? So it's imperative that they play Lord Of The Rings!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TailChao Posted April 29, 2004 Author Share Posted April 29, 2004 You could limit the choices to one player games only. Is there a possibility of posting a screen shot of the winning game being played? I'm keeping open all numbers of players, since I am thinking of implementing a smaller version of the 2600 game, you could perhaps challenge Tailz for extra lives, and I will post what the scene looks like upon reaching a winner. I also whipped up a mock picture of Sonic on the 2600 which might come in handy. Let me know if you want it and I'll send it off to you. That sounds very interesting, I'd like to see it... Might take a while to get 16 votes for one game. It'll take awhile for me to finish the other sceney of the waiting room and level select, so this gives me a bit more time =P and by the way, when do you think Zonik will be completed? Probably not for awhile, so far I have two game engines to work on the flying one (mostly finished, and easy to jam enemies into) and a walking one (still in concept, ala Metal Slug) Plus all of the L-Sound Hardware issiues. Although I will be releasing a *teaser* demo soon... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TailChao Posted April 30, 2004 Author Share Posted April 30, 2004 I've cut down the vote requirment to 8, as most of the art for the scene is done, YAR's REVENGE is in the lead so far... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liveinabin Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 I would have though Pitfall would be fitting (ie. a nod to the first generation of platform games) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+-^CrossBow^- Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 I agree that Pitfall should be the game being played. It was the first platformer of which everything else evolved from. Including Sonic, Zonik games... However, Activision would probably not be too hot about this... hmm..Oh..Oh!..I know... E.T. !!!...It must be E.T.!!! hehe....

TailChao Posted May 2, 2004 Author Share Posted May 2, 2004 Alright, as most of the art is done, and I want that demo to be finished as soon as possible, the game with the most votes by the end of today (but by my time, EST) will be chosen, Good Luck!
