Does "Space Panic" exist for the 2600?

[Lord-Chaos]

"Space Panic" is one of my favourite games on the Colecovision, is there an ATARI 2600 version, too ? Or a clone of "Space Panic" ?

 

The arcade version is by Universal.

 

The Coleco also had the clone "Cosmic Crisis" by BitCorp and there are at least 2 clones on the ATARI 800 - "Panic" and "Cannibals".

The 2600 has nothing to offer.

 

Despite being the first ladder-platform game, Space Panic was a disaster in the arcades. The game was only noticed and appreciated after a clone for the AppleII called Apple Panic became a surprize hit. Apple Panic was out well before Coleco grabbed the Space Panic license.

So do I. Both the CV vesrion and the original arcade version are fantastic to play.

Talking about space panic heres a little story thats kind of funny now i look back on it

 

When I had my first Atari 2600 I was given two carts for my 2600 one was

"Warlords" (The first time i had it I aquired it again 2 years back and has now been sold)

And a curious little black cartridge called "Space Panic".

 

Well first of all I played Warlords and loved it! But when I went to place the "Space Panic" into the deck it would not fit.

 

Looking at the lable (i was young at the time) I saw a manufacturers name

on the bottom (Something Toy Corporation?) and because I saw the word

toy I thought it was fake so I threw it in the bin

 

When I didnt see it on your list I thought I might have thrown a proto away

but in fact it was the Coleco version.

 

But still it would have been good if there was a 2600 version as I was getting excited thinking that I had at one time had an unknown proto.

Space panic was quite obscure but still a great arcade game, I can only remember seeing it in 1 location and playing it there. Ive got a sealed copy for the coleco and a loose copy, The translation is excellent. Now im sure the 2600's hardware could handle it quite well.
