Arcade Screenshots Vs. Their 2600 Counterparts

[Groo215]

I swear as a kid the games on the 2600 looked exactly like the Arcades! I guess I don't quite remember it as it really was.

Still at the time, the 2600 was an amazing thing. I had a friend who had a TON of games, I use to run to his house as soon as he got a new one. And I mean RUN . Good times.

I loved that damned game when I was younger... even if the on-coming cars looked like hamburgers

2600:

I know I'm late to the party, but that isn't Atari 2600 Frogger, unless it's a modern day homebrew in which case it's damned impressive.

This is Parker Brothers' Frogger for the Atari 2600:

 

[SanTe]

Yes, really.

Frogger was REALLY good on the 2600, at the time.

It's the official Frogger by Starpath: http://www.atariage.com/software_page.html?SystemID=2600&SoftwareLabelID=196

I'm thinking I must have missed it, but has anyone done Popeye arcade Vs Popeye 2600 yet?

 

[CanesFan]

Yes, really.

I think I recall an article about a cassette drive add-on for the 2600, but I sure never saw one.

I had one as a kid and bought another one recently for nostalgia's sake. I've got all the starpath games on my zune so I can play them into the supercharger when I'm in the mood (normally I just play the games on my harmony cart).

Yep, that's the one I saw in the ad (after looking it up). Very cool..

It is Atari 2600 Frogger, but not the inferior Parker Bros version. It's The Official Frogger by Starpath, released in 1983.

 

[80scoinops]

Whoops, I somehow missed TheShanMan's post saying the exact same thing.

 

[ArcadeMaze]

Not a 2600 screenshot.

Yep, I believe that is the TI 99/4a version by Atarisoft.


ArcadeMaze!

Disqualified due to the author deciding to keep his homebrew cart to himself (which is his right). If it was never available for others to buy, then it don't count.
