Atari Climber is a true winner....

[Paul Humbug]

So,

 

of course my Atari FB2 package couldn´t rest under the tree until X-Mas and I gave it a try for some half an hour yesterday and this early morning.

 

I really love it and for my taste the collection of games is almost perfect if you want to cover Atari videogame history and also the weaker titles are part of that history. Of course there is the question why the didn´t include Space Invaders and some more titles and at least 1 Pac-man derivate (for my taste Atari Pac-man is the only true Pac-man since it was the only version I knew and played back then. I haven´t had a clue about the arcade coin-up or a company called Namco. So Pac-Man is Atari and Atari is Pac-Man!)

 

But so far Atari Climber is the one that caught my attention. This game has everything, a true VCS game has to have for me to be a hit: neat graphics and an absolute amazing gameplay. A little too hard for smaller kids but it keeps me interested and motivated.

 

I know this is a homebrew title and I am sure if it was released back then it could have been one of the great games.

Absolutely.

 

Atari Climber is a great, fun game.

Absolutely.

The final version, Climber 5 is even better because it offers additional gameplay options.

I don't know...I prefer Atari Climber over Climber 5

This Atari feeling is a curse when you work form home

 

nevertheless I find that Atari Climber on "Advanced" or "Standard" is a tick easier in the beginning than as a Novice. I got immed. to level 5 on "Advanced" whereas in Level 3 as Novice was "Game over" for me.

Because neither one are Atari games, and both would have had to of been licensed. In turn this would have raised the cost of the FB2 significantly and taken it out of its $30 price range.

Forgot about that damn licensing thing.
