King Atari Posted October 21, 2001 Share Posted October 21, 2001 Ah, another one of these posts, I do enjoy reading them, though. This one's about the most complex 2600 games. My votes: "Dark Chambers" and "Xenophobe". Post your choices here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inky Posted October 21, 2001 Share Posted October 21, 2001 I'd say Star Raiders, Ghostbusters, and Raiders of the Lost Ark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osbo Posted October 21, 2001 Share Posted October 21, 2001 I'll go with Montezuma, Pitfall II, Venture and River Raid II OsBo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari-Jess Posted October 21, 2001 Share Posted October 21, 2001 Star Raiders, Space shuttle (with no instructions) and Raiders of the Lost Ark damn i couldn't figure out to use the second controller for months! (in fact i didn't even find out my self i had to look for it on the internet!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ze_ro Posted October 21, 2001 Share Posted October 21, 2001 I'd have to say Solaris. Runner's up include Raiders of the Lost Ark (mostly because I can't tell what most of the graphics are supposed to be), Mountain King, and Pitfall 2. Though in the case of Pitfall 2, it's gameplay is still nice and simple... one of the marks of a great video game --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moycon Posted October 21, 2001 Share Posted October 21, 2001 Lets not forget Riddle of the Sphinx ( Has anyone solved this game?) Secret Quest and Private Eye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyXB Posted October 21, 2001 Share Posted October 21, 2001 Pitfall II and Raiders of the Lost Ark Matthias Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhd Posted October 21, 2001 Share Posted October 21, 2001 How about Stargate/Defender II? It uses both joysticks: one to control the ship and fire the main weapon and the other to control smart bombs/hyperspace/shields. It is a very good arcade translation, but I find the control system makes it almost unplayable. Maybe it would be wasier with a second pair of hands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemmi Posted October 21, 2001 Share Posted October 21, 2001 I had most of the Riddle of the Sphinx solved i even had notes a mile long but i lost them all and havent really played it in a long time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genki Posted October 21, 2001 Share Posted October 21, 2001 I'll vote for Solaris. So freakin big you need to draw a map to cover them all. Runner up includes Raiers of the Lost Ark, Space Shuttle, and the Sword Quest series. You need the manual just to figure it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcprs1 Posted October 22, 2001 Share Posted October 22, 2001 Solaris is still tops on my list. I honestly don't think anyone has beat this game with cheating on an emulator. I also vote for Secret Quest, Double Dragon, Kung Fu Master and Raiders of the lost ark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Atari Posted October 22, 2001 Author Share Posted October 22, 2001 I've beaten "Riddle of the Sphinx". It's not very spectacular, the mystic palace (or whatever that's supposed to be) takes the important stuff that you've collected and then it's over. Still a good game despite the dull ending.

King Atari Posted October 22, 2001 Author Share Posted October 22, 2001 P.S.- I also have to say the "Swordquest" games are still pretty complex, there's no point unless you have the comics! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubersaurus Posted October 22, 2001 Share Posted October 22, 2001 hmm..I think atariage should add a subgroup of manuals, the comics packed in with the swordquest games. I mean, yeah you can go see the solution, but figuring it out on your own is more fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanJr Posted October 22, 2001 Share Posted October 22, 2001 Raiders of the Lost Ark Solaris Space Shuttle Once you have the comics, the Swordquest games get easier to figure out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest Posted October 22, 2001 Share Posted October 22, 2001 I think Radar Lock and Shuttle Orbiter, and Space Shuttle were the most Complex 2600 games. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel D. Park Posted October 22, 2001 Share Posted October 22, 2001 Mountain King was pretty complex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanJr Posted October 22, 2001 Share Posted October 22, 2001 Mountain King isn't as much complex as it is just plain freakin' HARD! I still have yet to reach the top of the stupid Mountain with the crown. And forget about getting to the "easter egg" levels. Sheesh!

Elvis8Atari Posted October 23, 2001 Share Posted October 23, 2001 i would have to say the most complex 2600 game was Cookie Monster Munch. jk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Friend of Sonic Posted October 23, 2001 Share Posted October 23, 2001 ET. Or was that utter unplayabilty? We may never know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to all the people who say it sux and whats so fun about falling into pits... Well dont fall in em if you dont want to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanJr Posted October 23, 2001 Share Posted October 23, 2001 Rock on moycon! There is a secret enclave of people who love and play ET. They are among you, they may even be you. Do not be afraid. I too like ET (somewhat, after 6 hours it wears on a person. Elvis8atari, NEVER, EVER underestimate the power of the Cookie Monster, EVER. I'm serious. EVER.
