| H.E.R.O. | Activision | 1984 | FZ-007. Rarity 3 scarce. North America NTSC. 1 player only. Roderick Hero needs to rescue the minors before his energy pack runs out. You have a personal copter device, laser and dynamite to aid you. Watch out for creatures, lava flows and rock barriers. The latter 2 obstacles are most efficiently destroyed using dynamite. While most versions of [game=HERO]HERO[/game] simulated analog control by adding a power curve to you thrust, there was no need on the 5200; thrust of your copter-pack is fully analog.

And in MONTEZUMA'S REVENGE, he's got more than he bargained for as you help him through 100 danger-filled chambers in Aztec emperor's fortress. The stakes? Priceless treasure. And lots of it. But finding necessary keys, torches, swords, and amulets is no small feat as PANAMA JOE tries to avoid deadly snakes, menacing spiders, and bouncing skulls. But then disappearing floors, bridges, and laser walls are no picnic either! It's up to you to lead this undaunted adventurer through the labyrinth of chambers in an attempt to solve the riddle of the fortress and escape with the loot! [Zerothis]***9460. Rarity 4 scarce+. North America NTSC. 1 player only. Guide Panama Joe 'Pedro' through a 10 stepped pyramid to find King Montezuma's treasure thus bringing Montezuma's Curse upon yourself and all your descendants. You must navigate, climbing chains, conveyor belts, disappearing floors, fire pits, laser gates, locked doors, sliding poles, steps, and other such obstacles. Collect amulets, swords, and torches. The ultimate goal is to find the king's treasure room. [Zerothis]***This is the best game I ever played. It is a plataform game where you are into a temple looking for a treasure. In the adventure you will go through spinning skulls, spiders, rays looking for the keys that will guide you door by door towards the fantastic treasure. This game is an old one but showing that the good stuff ain't only created in these days. Just get it, it is a must play! Agustïn E. Bahïa Blanca, Argentina. [AgustinArgentina] | labelimagesubject |

Here come the millipedes to rampage your mushroom garden. They bring with them, Bees, Beetles, Dragonflies, Earwigs, Inchworms, Mosquitoes, Spiders. Don't expect the old enemies to behave normally, they have new tactics including coordinated group attacks and building a mushroom fort is not as reliable. With new enemies comes a new weapon, the DDT bomb. This sequel to [game=#20223]Centipede[/game] was originally called Centipede Plus. This version of the game was canceled by Jack Tremiel as part of his effort to make Atari a computer only company. [Zerothis] | labelimageminimize |
