Classic Game Room HD reviews the various cartridge designs for videos games on the ATARI 2600 video computer system VCS. Games on the Atari came in many shapes and sizes like Combat, Berzerk, Yars’ Revenge, Demon Attack and Q*Bert. Atari games are highly collectible today and many can be quite rare like Actionauts and SwordQuest Waterworld. They came in hard plastic shells like games for the Nintendo Entertainment System or NES, Sega Genesis and SNES, but these Atari games stand out because of the variety in physical styles from manufacturing. Do you want to start a collection of Atari 2600 games to have for years to come and enjoy? Do you playing old school retro games that are better than the newest games on the market? Then you NEED to learn to collect original Atari games, emulators will not do them justice. To actually hold the physical Atari game in your hand, plug it into your Atari 2600 and play it with an Atari controller is the real deal.
super hard game flawlessly speedrunned here for your pleasure. enjoy seeing one of the hardest games ever being beaten into the ground!
Back in the day there was no official case licencing,so everyone came up with their own desings.Nowadays things are much more strict in this regard.
Personally the cases with silver and color covers are my favorite.
WTF
so COLECO was manufacturing SEGA and NINTENDO games for the ATARI 2600?!?!?
@CAEStudios
way to whore it up
they should make one that looks like a sword so it looks like a sword is in your atari and you can pull it out and fight with it when lord karnage and his army of wind squids come knocking at your door
@wingedmario64 theyre addictive
@wingedmario64 I suggest you get one, you can get one and a whole lot of games for the ammount of 1 modern day game
those weird cartridges look like tombstones
I really gotta get an Atari 2600
GOTTA CATCH’EM ALL!!! ATARI CARTS!!!!
You’re dog was THE best part of your review!
Nice review!
The ones made by Matel look like an Intellivision cart with an adapter on them to work on the Atari. They do suck. I never knew activision games locked together. There was a game i found with a really funky design, Planet Patrol. Xonox double sided games were unique as well. Nice review
@SpeedyRaven2000 Hm, you’re right. Spelled just sounds wrong to me.
@alece1382 You SPELLED “spelt” right, but spelt is a type of wheat.
Don’t take this seriously, I just wanted to make that joke.
things you only find in 80 years: @ 05:22 is written in the cartridge warning “to be used ONLY with the joystick controls”
you guys YT generation born in the second half of 1990 will not ever understand what was exchange of cartridges in the house of people who have never seen in life and make new friends will not know the feeling of nostalgia I’m going through now almost made me cry of miss those times
on you can review game cartridge designs
Your cheap oddball skinny carts are manufactured by M Network(Blue Label)/INTV(White) and are usually ports of Mattel Intellivision games. The cart design is exactly the same as the carts for the Intellivision but has an extra plastic lip around the base to adapt them to the 2600.
Honestly, while some of the games where quite good, I always hated them because, while every other Atari game is easily stackable, INTV games just had to @#$% everyone up. Maybe that’s their master plan.
@usernameover9000 ps3 has 50 gigs!
@deadline27 I don’t believe I did. “Spelt” is past tense.
@alece1382 you spelled “spelled” wrong
i have got a blue Demon Attack Cartrige with Demon attack written on the cartrige from xante. do you know if this is just some 3rd party cartrige?
Not to sound like a jerk… But you left out 20th Century Fox cartridges.
And no doubt ALL because we’re so into eye candy that we HAAAAAAD to have ultra high graphics and HD content. Doesn’t matter how long the game is nowadays. If it doesn’t like like it’s out of real life, we won’t touch it. :
You think 50 gigs is too big? Soon they’ll introduce 200 Gig Blu-ray discs….because PS3 games will need them. MGS4 Used an entire dual layer Blu-ray disc (50 gig) and they still had to stifle the game.
Cartrages are much more expensive to manufacture, even flash based ones like a thumb drive.
i think the difference in looks of cartridges of 2600 games is due to the unlicensed games made for the console in other words, Official Atari licensed Games were all put in the same cartridge shells by Atari, but manufacturers that ignored atari and manufactured unlicensed games had to be creative and create their own shells…
a hard game?????omg play IWBTG
:-O
3:58
Fuck this, you got past it all, fuck this, you win! Im not fighting you!
lol the boss is like fuck it lol
So what happened to the final boss there?
they prob made it so short because they didnt expect anyone to complete it lol
It looks like Dirk is doing the “pee pee” dance on the elevator rofl
This game is hard, but MAN, it has great animations.
Final boss epic fail
Well, It may be almost impossible, but it certianly is very short.
@9001Captainfalcon u watched avgn review lol
@MaxxTheSlash I’d leave an idiot like SenorScoop to stay in his ignorant squalor, but yeah, you are definetely right about the PAL version being a lot smoother. It was, in fact, mentioned in that AVGN video. Leave idiots like him to suffer.
@TheJedrzejK I think Tetris Grand Master or Mushihimesama Futari has IWBTG beat – and if they count, all the insane Mario hacks out there that are pretty much unplayable outside of TAS.
@SenorScoop
I don’t know how many times it’s been said, but this is the European version, which runs faster than the laggy US version. Do some research.
@SenorScoop who the fuck cares, this game is impossible
I can’t believe how obviously sped-up this is. Watch the AVGN review, and it’s clear that he sped the recording up before posting.
Honestly, it would’ve been impressive enough if he did it in real time, but instead he’s just a liar.
haha wasnt there supposed to be a bossfight at 3:58 ?
@TheJedrzejK Except that that is an independent guy making it intentionally hard, this is a game sold commercially.
And even then, this is harder, I guarantee you. Try it.
u dumbass the hardest game in history is I WANT TO BE THE GUY in hard mode hundreds of projectiles at the same time, timed traps, near impossible jumps, death traps, bosses which i or most other people have no idea how to beat……
I don’t get this game. Whats the point in having a health bar, when everything kills you in one hit.
@WILLtheMILTANK no its not i think this is the other versino which is a lot more fluid than the nes version
@alexmiddleton4 my thoughts exactly
It’s sped up
@blushersk8 No. I can beat MM1 without using a game genie. Use the pause button, it makes that game easier. As for Dragon’s Lair, throw the cartridge in the trash. It’s not even worth playing or beating.
the music of this game is awesome
