I got an Atari Gamestation Pro for Christmas and it just amazes me how well a lot of those old 2600 games hold up. My kids have had a blast playing Pong, Warlords, Bowling, and Outlaws with me.
Enjoyed this GDC presentation about the developement and working with the original hardware
Nice. I appreciate that it's a loving recreation and not an emulator.
Mobile controls!!!!!!
It’s actually playable on my iPhone. Gotta love that!
Edit: I still suck at it just as much as I did back on the old 2600, but it’s still fun.
This is really well done. Took me back to the good old coleco days. The controls on mobile are well done.
How is the original source available? Wouldn’t Activision still hold the copyright ?
I remember playing this on the spare B&W TV with no color. My father bought a new color TV and we got the old one for the Atari 2600 and it was like baller status.
This was my favorite game.
So, are you a go left or go right type of player?
Edit: Ugh, I had a weird quirk where the sound of getting hit by a log would not stop sounding. Even tried hitting another log hoping it would reset, but nope. Cmd-R was the only solve
Such an incredible game.
I’m amazed what the Atari 2600 was capable of with 2 player sprites, 2 missile sprites, a ball sprite, 128 bytes of memory, no buffer, and a 1.19 MHz CPU.
Because of what talented developers (like David Crane) could deliver, the console had an incredible 15 year lifespan (longer than the NES).
