Room 34 Posted May 27, 2002 Share Posted May 27, 2002 Well I for one am defiantly avoiding adding the Sesame Street games to my collection! Maybe you want the Kids' Controller just for completeness (which I respect and understand), but if you're just looking to try out the game, the keyboard controllers, Video Touch Pad, and Kids' Controllers are all functionally identical.

ATARIPITBULL Posted May 27, 2002 Share Posted May 27, 2002 Whats wrong with the Sesame Street games? I have all of them complete in there boxes in my collection and the kids controller. I have no plans to play them but they sure look good in my collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Atarian Posted May 27, 2002 Author Share Posted May 27, 2002 It is just a hardware collection issue. If I have the game then I kinda want everything needed to play it even though I probably wont play the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Room 34 Posted May 27, 2002 Share Posted May 27, 2002 quote: Originally posted by ATARIPITBULL: Whats wrong with the Sesame Street games? Sorry... I have just hated the notion of them since they first appeared when I was 9. I just really felt (yes, even as a 9-year-old) that Atari was taking things in the wrong direction. The wrong direction actually started before the Sesame Street games, but by the time they were into the Sesame Street, Disney, etc. games the soul had been sucked out. I wrote several paragraphs of a tirade on modern video games, the problems of which I feel really started to happen when Atari started licensing movies and TV "properties," but I should probably save it for a separate thread.

I guess I must've just hit it at the wrong age... How old are you ubersaurus? Like I said, I was 9 when the Sesame Street games came out (28 now), and I was just at the age where I thought I was all grown up, so I was annoyed at these "little kids'" games. Apparently I've never grown out of it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Atarian Posted May 28, 2002 Author Share Posted May 28, 2002 I really just want it because it is a piece of hardward I don't have. The games pretty much looks cheesy to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ze_ro Posted May 28, 2002 Share Posted May 28, 2002 If you just want to play the game, you can plug in a Video Touchpad (from Star Raiders), or a Keyboard Controller (Basic Programming), and use that to control the game. It may not have the same feeling, and any overlays that you have will definitely not fit, but you'll be able to control the game at least. --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont need a doorstop I've never played DKJr on the 2600, but the 7800 version is my favorite game on that system! I like both DK and DKJr for the 7800 -- probably the closest to the arcade versions out there. (I say that with 20 years between me and the last time I played DK on Colecovision, of course.) Granted, the music sucks on 7800 DKJr, but that's part of its appeal. I laugh my arse off at the out-of-tune music on the title screen, and then I get engrossed in the game!
