Marco(2) Posted October 5, 2001 Share Posted October 5, 2001 Never played the 5200. I never really got into 5200 collecting as it was never released in Holland. My all-time favorite Pengo port is the one on the Sega Game Gear. Portable Pengo, just gotta love it (never could get my hands on the Japanese MD version of it, would have loved to play that on my Nomad) ... and yeah, I know, I'm one of the only handful of people that actually likes the GG Cheers, Marco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatrickDBowlingo Posted October 5, 2001 Share Posted October 5, 2001 Was Hyper Olympics ever announced for the 2600? This game was spiritual successor to Track & Field made by Konami. I loved that game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatrickDBowlingo Posted October 5, 2001 Share Posted October 5, 2001 Circus Charlie is one of my all time favorites. Was a prototype rom ever released for the 2600? If not, where can I find screen shots of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted October 5, 2001 Share Posted October 5, 2001 Well if your not into the 5200 then how about the Atari 400/800/XL/XE series? Pengo was exactly the same on them. Circus Charlie was announce but never released. I saw a picutre of a prototype box in an advertisement but that's it. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moycon Posted October 5, 2001 Share Posted October 5, 2001 I dont know if this counts, But remembering things that later disappointed me Atari wise. I remember ads in the back of the gaming magazines, there was one that listed a bunch games and the prices to purchase them. I got really excited when I saw...Adventure II !! Unfortunately I think the ads were refering to the "new" Swordquest series. What a disappointment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Ragan Posted October 5, 2001 Author Share Posted October 5, 2001 Pengo on the Genesis is available as a ROM on the Internet. I've played both that and an early prototype version and I wasn't very excited about it. It tries to be Bomberman but the play mechanics (dropping ice crystals which eventually turn into ice blocks that you can throw) make the game frustratingly slow. I don't like the ugly computer rendered cinema screens, either. However, there is a great conversion of the original arcade game on the finished version of Pengo, though.

JagDiesel Posted October 5, 2001 Share Posted October 5, 2001 I'd have to say Pink Panther and Microsurgeon for the Odyssey2... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted October 5, 2001 Share Posted October 5, 2001 I don't even want to think how they were going to port Microsurgeon to the O2. My God that would have looked bad! Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moycon Posted October 6, 2001 Share Posted October 6, 2001 I thought of a couple more. When I was a kid I was always in awe of the adult games (Beat Em and Eat em, Halloween, Texes Chainsaw). I had no idea what they looked like but I guess since you had to be 18 to buy them I thought they must've been something else. It seems to me one of the companies Wizard maybe at one time had an ad for Flesh Gordon!! That wouldve been something...Maybe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tillenterprises Posted October 7, 2001 Share Posted October 7, 2001 Just about anything that Activision cancelled would be great, I'm sure, and I also thought that the screen shot of Incredible Hulk from the Parker Bros. catalog looked awesome! I wish somebody could find a proto of that one and release it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
