Ze_ro Posted October 21, 2001 Share Posted October 21, 2001 So, I was looking through one of these comics when it occured to me: Why the hell did they never make an Atari game based on this??? It seems so logical, yet it never happened. Was Atari ever planning on doing this? --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATARIPITBULL Posted October 21, 2001 Share Posted October 21, 2001 Hey Rhindle, who made this game, and when did it come out?. I looked around and can't find any info on this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked around and can't find any info on this game. If you click on the link Rhindle included in his message, it goes to the KLOV (Killer List of Video Games) site about Liberator. Basically, it was created by Atari and released in 1982. I've personally never seen this game, so I'll have to fire it up in MAME to see what it's like. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mos6507 Posted October 21, 2001 Share Posted October 21, 2001 Liberator was made by GCC (the same company that did the 7800) as part of their "pennance" for cloning Atari's arcade games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ze_ro Posted October 24, 2001 Author Share Posted October 24, 2001 I can't believe no one else noticed this, but if you read the Star Raiders manual, it turns out that it's their ship you're piloting. This isn't played up much in the game though. In fact, I had no idea of this until I found a boxed copy of Star Raiders and actually read the manual I'd guess that Solaris has something to do with them too, since it's kinda a sequel and all... --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inky Posted October 25, 2001 Share Posted October 25, 2001 Liberator is an AWESOME sequel to missle command and, I think, is a million times better (and I LOVE Missle Command). I was lucky in that my local arcade had this game for about a year.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
