Cybergoth Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Hi there! Since johnnywc just delivered Lady Bug, it should be interesting to look at the rest of the Universal library. For the start I picked the 5 most fun looking games that never saw a console release before. (I can add more choices on request if there's strong interest in some, so just wait with voting if your "must" game is missing) And the question is again: Which of these is the most desired for the Atari 2600? Greetings, Manuel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Nathan Strum Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 I voted for Cheeky Mouse. Mainly because it's violent! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vdub_bobby Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Ok, I played them all through MAME. Here are my thoughts: Most fun, in descending order: Do! Run Run Snap Jack Mr. Do's Wild Ride Cheeky Mouse Jumping Jack Cosmic Avenger Ease of porting to 2600, in descending order: Cheeky Mouse Snap Jack Cosmic Avenger Jumping Jack Do! Run Run Mr. Do's Wild Ride My vote: Cheeky Mouse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feralstorm Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 I voted for Cheeky Mouse. Mainly because it's violent! Better still, it's CHEERFULLY violent! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybergoth Posted September 2, 2006 Author Share Posted September 2, 2006 My vote:Cheeky Mouse I can see this, as it seems almost being designed with a 2600 conversion in mind. I also like the uhm... theme of the game I just think the gameplay is a bit too shallow and it gets boring before the end of the third coin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also like the uhm... theme of the game I just think the gameplay is a bit too shallow and it gets boring before the end of the third coin I vote Mr. Do's Wild Ride, it is a very fun and original game, jumping over roller coster cars, climbing ladders to get cherries. It is a very cool game. Wade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybergoth Posted September 4, 2006 Author Share Posted September 4, 2006 Interesting to see so many Cosmic Avenger votes. While I admittedly like it, on closer inspection it is just a crippled Scramble clone. Also, it'll jitter-scroll on the VCS just like the Coleco version does, it'll just look a lot worse while doing so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+legeek Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Mr. DO!'s Wild Ride is my favorite... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vic George 2K3 Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 I like Cosmic Avenger (at least the ColecoVision version of it) better than I do either Scramble or Super Cobra, given that I don't have to worry about bombing fuel tanks just to keep myself flying.
