ATARI 5200 - Angry Tape Game Nerd Episode #20 First aired on February 13, 2007 I'll be posting the old Nerd videos from 2007 onto this YouTube canal. For the new ones, check ...
What was the best the game on the original Atari 1200 system?
I would love to know what people think was the A-one game on the old system? Now, I am looking for actual players! No Flashback 2.0 players. Or stupid answers like Atari is feeble-minded. Yes, it was a 1 bit game and the graohics today are nothing. But you got to love the simple design. I would love to hear from real fans of archetypal Atari
I liked River Raid
I had the original atari, it was the 2nd computer/ gaming machine that I ever used. (over 20 years ago!) Hazard was probably my favourite. Honorable mentions: Pacman, River Raid =)
Pitfall, Pac man, Donkie Kong
I would have to say that I accustomed to always play Night Driver. That was so basic but just a ton of fun!
Warlords, it was easy to pick up and could be played by 4 players using the waddle controllers. It looked like 4 player pong crossed with arkanoid/breakout. In each corner is a castle. A short rectangle moves from side to side along the castle walls to deflect the "ball". If the ball strikes the castle a chunk is detached as damage. This continues until a players walls are destroyed. Some practice with deflecting the ball could cause a chain reprisal of damage IE. if the the ball gets between the castle wall and edge of the play field. This ricochet technique landed some serious destruction in a short time. One of the first multiplayer games and what a blast with 4 people. You could make temporary alliances with another performer and attack someone to eliminate them or play everyman-for-himself. With a little imagination it was castle siege warfare at its best in those period.
Missile Command and Defender were just the bomb!
I loved Pitfall the most! I think it was a challenging game, most festivity of today are all violence. I loved the simplicity, it was very basic but incredibly fun! My father sold his in '05, bummer I would have adorable to have played it more. I do own a Nintendo 64 but I really miss the Atari. Donkey Kong is way fun as well, that's actually how Mario got started. You climbed up the latters and had to patrol out for things coming down the latter. It was very fun, I could play it for hours at a time. So basic but something about it was just so awesome. Night rider was so impressive as well, Pac man, I almost forgot, was probably the best!
I would have to go with my old favorite MS. Pac Man. I would play that thing for hours. Love it!
well I thought it was 2600, and mine was the tank distraction that was in black and white..
