| Combat | Atari;Polyvox (Atari) | 1977 | CX-2601 Combat by Sears. Rarity 1 Common+ (possibly the 3rd most common). 2 players, 2 Joysticks. North America NTSC. model# 99801 4975124 Tank Plus by Sears. 2 Common. North America NTSC. Combat by Polyvox. Unknown rarity. South America NTSC. Combat by Dynacom (pirate). Unknown rarity. Brazil NTSC. Frontline by Zellers (pirate). Rarity 4 Scarce+. North America NTSC. Game originally packaged with the Atari VCS on its launch. First game EVER for Atari VCS. It required two players, as no artificial intelligence was developed. The gameplay is the same throughout the game (chase your enemy across the screen and destroy it), but there are 27 variations on it. It was pretty funny, especially in the levels with aircraft. The first stereo video game for a home system ever? [Zerothis] | labelimagesubject |
| Brain Games | Atari | 1978 | Brain Games has been suggested in the 1984 book Clinical Management of Memory Problems as an effective clinical device for memory retraining exercises. Noted for having a variety of useful games, patients would be faced with auditory and visual cues that may improve spatial reasoning.***Compilation of memory games. Touch Me: The computer will play a sequence of tones. Each button on the controller represents a different tone, and by pressing the correct button you need to recreate the same sequence. Count Me: The computer will display a sequence of numbers. Using the controller, you need to press the numbered buttons in the same order the computer displayed them. Picture Me: The computer will display a series of symbols. It will then scramble the order they are displayed in, and you need to reorder the symbols back into their original configuration. Find Me: The computer will display a series of objects on the screen, and you need to select the object which is dissimilar from the others. Your score is based on how fast you can successfully do this. Add Me: The computer will display a list of numbers. You need to enter in the sum of the numbers before the timer runs out. Play Me: This game allows you to play your own songs in free form mode; each button on the controller represents a musical note. Both controllers can be used for a duet, and several example songs are included in the instruction manual.***[media=youtube]DwhFKJj1yZg[/media]***Uses keypad controllers. | labelimagesubject |
| Extra Terrestrials | Skill Screen Games | 1984 | Other than bad timing, this game is unrelated to the other Atari E.T. game or to the movie. Rather, this is a Pac-Man like game where two players battle each other. One human player controls a dot eating alien while the other controls an alien chasing human. It was offered door-to-door to retailers in Southern Ontario. So, top rare game. | labelimageminimize |
