 Member Retired Gumby Posts: 964 | Just thought I'd let you know that I finally got an Atari VCS 2600. Unfortunately, it came without any games. Any recommendations besides Activision Boxing?   |

Member Prof Gumby Posts: 336 | Ive got over 200 titles for the 2600 and in my opinion the best way of describing the best games to buy for it is.... ....if it says Activision on the label... buy it. |

Theres quite a lot more 2600 and megadrive games boxed up, but frankly, they are all shit and so dont get played.

 Member Dr Gumby Posts: 267 | It does? I enjoyed the game as it was one of the few strategy games I had for the C64. ----- Lets make this a beefy place |

Member Prof Gumby Posts: 336 | Are the screenshots on the right the 2600 Activision version? |

Admin Reborn Gumby Posts: 11522 | The ones on the left are from the C64, the ones on the right.... don't remember, but if you look a bit up in this thread, you'll see that I asked if there even is a 2600 version of it ----- Now you see the violence inherent in the system! |

Member Dr Gumby Posts: 267 | So pictures makes the game then , and I thought it was gameplayy :p. I know that the pictures were nicer on other systems (but they were pritty nice for a c64), but was the gameplay better/more options? ----- Lets make this a beefy place |

Admin Reborn Gumby Posts: 11522 | Graphics are important. Otherwise, I'd probably play CGA games or 3D shooters. As for the features, there are some differences. Some versions have more options in battle and at sieges. ----- Now you see the violence inherent in the system! |

Member Dr Gumby Posts: 267 | I must agree with you on the part that graphics are important, but if you take a look at other games for the c64, you have to admit the graphics were very good. So I didn't miss to much then, I didn't have a choise back then, I only had a c64 ----- Lets make this a beefy place |

Admin Reborn Gumby Posts: 11522 | Yes, of course the graphics are good for C64 standards. They'd be absolutely ok if there weren't these far superior versions ----- Now you see the violence inherent in the system! |

Member Dr Gumby Posts: 267 | Hehe, but this would make most of the games for the C64 less then those of other systems with nicer graphics . ----- Lets make this a beefy place |

Admin Reborn Gumby Posts: 11522 | I wouldn't go that far. In the case of DotC, the difference is just very big - most games which exist on more than one system are more similar on them. In addition, especially the C64 has a lot of exclusive games which exist for no other computer! ----- Now you see the violence inherent in the system! |
