Head-to-Head Atari Adventure with Ro and Ferg
If you 're an Atari fan, then you probably know and love Adventure for the Atari 2600. Ro created this multiplayer version available for Windows, Mac, Linux, and Android. I am competing Ro and Fergojisan of the Atari 2600 Game By Game Podcast to see who can return the chalice to their own castle before the others do.
This round, I neglected to record my own voice, but it had such an *amazing* ending that I had to share it. You may be able to very faintly hear my voice through my opponents' speakers.
Downoad the game at:

Переглядів 16 тис.8 років тому
My highest score on Solaris yet! This was recorded for the Atari.io high score challenge. For the route I took, I specifically developed a path to save every planet from turning into a Red Zone. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to accomplish it this time (I ran out of ships), but I think it's possible, and I'm getting better. I switched emulators this time and changed the video settings for my reco...

"We Gather Together" on theremin
Переглядів 729 років тому
My first attempt at a theremin video. Have a happy Thanksgiving!
This is an old video but it still worth. Nice job with 3DCK.
Wasn't there an Atari 5200 version of this game as well?! Sprite Scaling and line-scrolling on the Atari 2600?! What kind of sorcery is this?!
I had this when I was a kid in the 80s even my mum and dad liked playing this game. I got really far in it but never completed it. It would get tough at the end.
As an old school Adventure player this was excruciatingly painful to watch 🤦🏻♂️
Was this game ever meant to be finished?
Looking at this game as a programer now, I imagine out what kind of games they couldn't had done still at that time. Thats a pitty this game had come out at the end of 2600' life.
A game like this wouldn't be possible on the NES, but why exactly? What does Atari contain that makes these kinds of graphics possible?
Based on how well NES games like _Kirby's Adventure_ could create detailed, colorful, faux 3-D and parallax graphics despite the limitations of NES hardware, I wouldn't be surprised if this was possible in the NES, but very hard to replicate.
I'm not convinced that it's fully impossible on the NES, though you might not get an exact 1:1 conversion. Now, it won't feel natural to program that on the NES, but, having a guess about how it's written on the 2600, it's not natural on the 2600 either.
imagine this with the crisp sound and NES grafix...awesome capturing of 3D feeling ... seems better then top gun
This looks AWESOME!!! I used to love hunting the Wumpus on the TI-99/4A back in the day! 😁
Oh, so you have a UA-cam channel
Awesome game!! I remember this was the last Atari 2600 game we got before getting an NES a year later.
I grew up with this, how are you so amazing?
This could easily pass for an 8-bit or early Nintendo game. Great looking Atari game.
So there's no real ending to the game.....just a hi score?
The game ends when you reach Solaris. But I still have yet to get there legitimately. Some day, perhaps! I got about halfway there in this video.
@@RadioPoultry same me and my brother played this game for years.... Never found Solaris.
At 28:14 you see Solaris at the map. The flashing planet symbol. I never made it.
I did see it, but i never made it. Spent hours and hours playing this game. Even just a hour ago.
I love this! I could see playing this in the early 90s
Thanks! I watched your How to Play: Cybercon III video some time ago... it's magnificent!
@@RadioPoultry Glad you enjoyed it! Always thinking of new videos to make :)
Great score. I'm sitting in the 50k now. Those cobra fleets are no joke.
Retro Gaming Roundup and Scott aka Subaru Brat made me come check out this game. He said it was like an early NES game on the VCS. Looks like a very great game, to quote an entrepreneur
Even as someone from the ps1/ps2 era I get hours of enjoyment out of Solaris. I always thought the Atari was an old, famous but crap footnote in history. Oh man was I wrong.
When it comes to sheer fun and excitement numerous Atari 2600 games beat the living daylights out of contemporary games. But there was also a huge pile of garbage around on that system. Programmers really had to know what they were doing with the limited hardware at hand.
Ironic I'm from the Atari Era and I thought the complete opposite with the PS1 being a crappy period with ugly untested polygon graphics and glitchy first person style games that seemed forced and unready
Really useful video to properly understand the game, thanks!
A masterpiece.
To beat this game you have to keep a pen and paper and map each board and exit. New lives are run up by running up your score collecting or saving as many colonists on the planets and of course destroying all the enemies that you see. Find the board with Solaris. After you know the route you can run the path quicker. That is generally how it is done. Also, I needed the track ball controller to really dominate this game and break a million points. This took a couple of hours.
This and Pitfall 2 are some of the most advanced Atari 2600 games
I cant believe they managed this with the limitations of the machine!
The 2600 was my first video game console I had as a kid and this game was the best and most advanced game ever to be released for that system. What a gem!
Take a look at Pitfall 2 then
Best game for the 2600, no contest. You had to read the manual a little, but the gameplay, graphics and sound totally redefined what the console was capable of. This game was captivating!
That brings back memories. I was 8 years old in 1986 and to be honest, I didn't really like playing this game all that much. Not because it was bad, but because I wasn't really good at it and I didn't really know what you actually had to do, outside of the shooting parts and I was kind of intimidated by the game. I still came back to it again and again, because it had the best graphics and was the most complex out of all the Atari 2600 games I had. Looking at this video I begin to wonder though. Maybe it wasn't just me sucking, maybe there was something wrong with our 2 controllers, because I am pretty sure with those you couldn't fire as fast as can be seen in this video. I think we could like fire 1 shot each second, at best.
Hm. What you see in this video is as I remember it being on the Atari 2600. I agree that I wasn't as good at it as a child, but I do much better now days. Get an emulator and tear it up !
One of my all-time favourite Atari 2600 games. Certainly one I spent countless hours on.
Recuerdo cuando jugaba esto a los 6 años de edad!
No lo conocía, se ve muy adelantado para la época
Great atari 2600 game!
This is Amazing
I wonder why Doug Neubauer never wrote many games. He is a real master at programming for very difficult hardware. The whole thing was done in 6502 assembly!
best Atari 2600 game
man I remember when I was 8 years old now 😊
One of the best games over made for the Atari 2600. Additive game play. great controls. Awsome graphics for its time as well. Take your own course of action, lots of emeies and lots of places to go. A game that will make you play it for hours to see where else you can go to. a real gem for its time. Someone make a remake of this game
Awesome! Have you considered contributing your game to the collection archive at 3dconstructionkit.co.uk ? I was a C64 user when the 3D Construction Kit came out. I did get 3D Construction Kit 2 when I got an Amiga, but I never got into it in the same way. At 3dconstructionkit.co.uk there are scans of the 3D Construction Kit User Group fanzine that you may enjoy reading.
It’s really important when playing the theremin “a cappella” (without accompaniment) to have some sort of pitch reference tone to keep you on key. Unless you have perfect pitch, which few possess, you are going to drift either flat or sharp. This old hymn begins in F major but in less than 30 seconds it has drifted sharp by a semitone and ends up in F# major. DO NOT DESPAIR! This is normal for thereminists and singers because with no reference, we don’t know where the hell we are! 😃
Once i had a silkie chicken hatch a muscovy egg when it hatched they where the best egg hatching team i've ever known
Muscovies make such great moms. That's a lucky chicken. :)
So what happens when the duck goes into the water? Chickens can't swim.
LOL! That´s funny!
