Kain rising Posted April 28, 2004 Report Share Posted April 28, 2004 As a sister topic to the Commodore 64 one, I thought this was pretty cool for a TV Games set. http://gear.ign.com/articles/508/508380p1.html It's got Breakout, Canyon Bomber, Casino, Circus Atari,Demons to Diamonds, Night Driver, Steeplechase, Street Racer, Super Breakout, Warlords, Warlords Arcade, Video Olympics, Arcade Pong and Pong I especially like that it comes in a two player version.

Carlucci Posted April 28, 2004 Report Share Posted April 28, 2004 OH. HELL. YEAH! Best news all month!!! I'll play Super Breakout until my eyes melt. Carlos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Daisy Posted April 28, 2004 Report Share Posted April 28, 2004 Too funny. I can't believe that it took this long for someone to think of putting out paddle games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTello Posted April 28, 2004 Report Share Posted April 28, 2004 Now this is pretty damn cool! Circus Atari, one of my all time favorite games! Simple yet addicting. I've been playing a whole lot of WarioWare lately on my Gameboy, and I've really grown an new appreciation for the super addictive nature of classic-yet-simple games, like thoses of the old Atari days and those reborn in the form of WarioWare. These paddle games were some of my favorite classic-simple games, especially two player. :tu: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calvin Posted April 28, 2004 Report Share Posted April 28, 2004 If only they'd put in Activision's Kaboom!... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustyjaw Posted April 28, 2004 Report Share Posted April 28, 2004 What's the difference between Pong and Arcade Pong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Daisy Posted April 29, 2004 Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 Probably some sort of enhanced vector graphics. Translation... instead of grey-white paddles, you would get white paddles. Glen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvin Posted April 29, 2004 Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 If I remember correctly, it is most likely a Pong Hockey varient, with 4 some-odd paddles... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlucci Posted July 28, 2004 Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 I see the one-paddle version is out everywhere now, but I can't find the two-paddle version. Anyone have a sighting or know the timing for its release? Carlos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer Monkey Posted August 3, 2004 Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 If only they'd put in Activision's Kaboom!... It's really too bad they didn't license it...we'll never see an Activision paddle set, as the rest of their games use joysticks. The guys at Digital Eclipse have worked hard on these to maintain their accuracy and Jeff Vavasour has stated that Arcade Warlords is "is nearly running the original arcade machine code".

heavy liquid Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 Originally posted by CarlucciI see the one-paddle version is out everywhere now, but I can't find the two-paddle version. I can't seem to find the two-player version, either. I also wish they could've included Tempest in the package, but that won't deter me from buying it..

Beer Monkey Posted August 15, 2004 Report Share Posted August 15, 2004 Two-paddle version is at TRU here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer Monkey Posted August 19, 2004 Report Share Posted August 19, 2004 I picked up the 2-player, it is excellent. I own all of these original 2600 games, and this set seems totally accurate. The paddles seem to be of excellent quality. Arcade Warlords alone is, to me, worth the price of purchase. Too bad you can't play 4 player though.

Kain rising Posted August 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2004 I picked this up as well - I see many hours of Breakout (and Superbreakout) in my future. :tu: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlucci Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 Finally got the 2 paddle version of this. It was worth it to finally expose my kids to Pong the way it was meant to be played. They lasted about 2 minutes before sheer boredom set in and they wanted to move on to something else. The quote of the night came from my 9 yr old, Joshua. "Dad, why do you keep calling it a ball when it's square!" Breakout and super-breakout are fantastic. Playing Super Breakout on "progressive" brought back a flood of memories for me. It's way cool how they show the little matrix on screen with all the game types and options. and make you pretend to flip the switches to choose your game variation. Carlos.
