K.C. Munchkin on the Odyssey 2: How Close Before You're Just a Copy?
Просмотров 7 тыс.16 часов назад
How many Munchies can your Munchkin munch before your Munchkin's all munched out? That's the question posed right on the box cover for K.C. Munchkin for the Odyssey 2. Released in Europe as Munchkin, this maze game's North American title is an inside reference to then president of Philips Consumer Electronics, Kenneth C. Menkin. Designed and programmed by Ed Averett, Munchkin is very heavily ba...

Jon can you please do a tier list on the Bally/Midway+Sega games on the Atari 2600?
Wish I still had my "Micro Adventures" books. Part adventure series, part BASIC how-to. You write little games based on what the hero hacker is doing.
<(@!#?@!)
Flashback 12, I just got mine in the mail too 🥳
👌
Playing it on Switch is fantastic. Try playing the games with a NES or SNES Controller. Especially the 7800 games with the NES controller! Excellent!
I missed the original release of the Atari 50 collection. When this steelbook addition drops, I am so going to snag it!
I believe I had this book, and if not one similar to it.
I might snap it up for my Switch, The OG didn't tempt me enough so maybe this will.
*NUEVO SUSCRIPTOR*
Bienvenido
Very nice shape. 🎉
Sure is!
Does any of those consoles has Circus Charlie? 🫣
The NES game? None of these are consoles, and none of them feature Circus Charlie.
I already have the Atari 50 on steam , and I will buy the DLC when it will come out , especially interesting to me that they will talk a little bit about the intellivision, the first ever console I got, thanks for the video Jon
Maybe if the trailer for the game wasn't so awful, this would have gotten a better response. But the trailer for this game makes the property look infantile by die hard fan standards. It's a huge step backwards from the quality the Recharged series of re-releases has become known for. The trailer doesn't entice anyone from Gen X to play this, let alone garner interest from new fans. As such, I'm declaring this particular game property dead before arrival.
Thanks for watching and taking the time to share your thoughts. 😁
I also have this
can you add 10k games? (probably not) winner winner chicken dinner!
finally got the crabs! hurrah!
I figured out how to make text adventure games with the map being a few parallel 2D arrays. I also made a poker playing AI bot. Good times!
love that controller over the mini mini console .. where the stick is smaller than a toothpick
All my comments get deleted and i get banned for a week...😂 That's not the crazy stuff, either...
@@Horus2Osiris 🤔
I doubt the recent generation can even read... I was dismantling appliances and rebuilding them when i was ten, without a manual... That was 1980. They still work.
@@Horus2Osiris You can't text without reading.
It there a book to start programming from scratch on the Atari 2600? I´m interested.
I'm 43 years old, and I personally have the belief that old things need to evolve in order to stay relevant. For example, look at the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie. It's got a totally different art style, has the turtles acting like, and being voiced by, actual teenagers, and it's got a totally different feel to its storytelling. I loved it, and I actually find the old 80s cartoon unwatchable these days! I've been largely unable to truly get into my childhood nostalgia as the old cartoons and games don't hold up anymore to me, though occasionally we get something like Super Mario Bros Wonder which is unquestionably a combination of retro and modern ideas. (Ironically it was my older brother who tried the game and complained "I feel like I've played this before.") I am actually unfamiliar with the original Yars Revenge so I don't see this as desecrating my childhood. But I don't see it as being connected to the old game either other than some references, even if it was allegedly Wayforward who approached Atari with the idea. Finally, I want to point out that reviving old things in a new form is a mega common executive tactic that attempts to bridge audiences to bring in more money. An example is Harriet the Spy. It was a 1964 book, then a 1996 movie, and now it's a 2021 cartoon which goes off in a completely different direction to become a standard (albeit fun imo) slice of life cartoon. It's like executives say "bring back old popular thing" and creative types try to turn it into their own idea. Or the reverse, creative people come up with an idea, then an executive attaches it to a popular franchise (which is where Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order came from). It's just what companies do. Anyway, great video. Thanks for making it!
1983, not a good year for Atari, but was good for anyone who wanted 2600 because there like 5 bucks.
I plan to purchase the DLC. i might buy a copy of the physical edition for my brother. my brother and his wife both have their own switch.
Well that must be one good way to actually learn how a programming language actually works. Making you open a program language interpreter and then type in the code that way and then you get to see it working is very cool.
Typos were a KILLER! 😁
@@GenXGrownUp I'm glad modern programs like VSCode will help you with typos.
Hey Gen X grownup, I need some help. Can you tell me if this is better than the Gamestation pro or not?
Better is subjective, as it depends on what you're looking for. If your focus is just Atari 2600, the FBG has more accurate controllers and is easily upgraded to include the entire legacy catalog and then some. If you're interested in other Atari games & platforms then the GSP offers you more going for it.
Probably will get both the set and DLC when each are available.
I plan on it, I'm just hoping the price of the DLC isn't going to get too greedy. In the economy like this is. It's my hope that it stays reasonable. (Say under $20)
Agreed. I'm thinking around $9-$10 based on the base cost.
Are 20% of the new cartridges not going to work also?
No cartridges -- all software. Do you have some information that suggests that failure rate of physical media?
Consider myself very fortunate to have had the Apple II back in the day! I sometimes miss BASIC. Wouldn't have a career in software without it!
I typed in many programs like this in my TRS80 😎
Me too! TRS-80 Model 3 was the computer they had at my Middle School, and we skipped many lunches to type in programs!
Very cool find!
Looking forward to getting the DLC, the last expansion was great!
Unless they add some newly created games, I already paid for the 50th Anniversary Collection for my XBox and was VERY disappointed it is not available for the PC as well using the same license like many other games since the paddle games are a NIGHTMARE to play on an XBox. I'll just use my tons of emulators for the old games on 2600 and 8-bit, Jag, Lynx, ST.
Emulators are great. The extra value in A50 to me, is all the archival materials and context.
I feel like if I'm paying for it anyway, I'd have to get the new physical with all the updates/expansions, for Switch. 🙂
I’m assuming it’s just me but I didn’t come away from this video understanding any of what’s happening here. That’s not on you, even the text you were reading didn’t really tell me anything. What’s a timeline? Don’t know. What’s Atari 50? Beyond the anniversary and beyond that collection of ten cartridges, don’t know. Then I start hearing about DLC and anything digital, overall, and I pretty much just check out at that point, knowing it’s not for me.
"Atari 50" in general is not just a ten-cartridge set, but the branding for the 50th anniversary of Atari which was in 2022. This is about a forthcoming update for "Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration" which is a software package as I describe in this video. If you're curious, the entire press release is available linked in the description.
@@GenXGrownUp Apologies, it just didn’t come across very clear to me at all, knowing what I do about “Atari 50,” like the term has possibly been used in conjunction with too many product releases. I’m not putting that on you at all.
This is so cool I’ll definitely pick up the updated physical release. Very excited for this and the Gamestation Portable this year. I hope we hear more about the latter soon.
I guess I'm glad for not picking up the original. Now I can grab the new Deluxe edition. 🎉
This is so cool. I will need to rebuy Atari 50. I originally got it for the switch and my switch... well it went to go live on the farm ...
I feel like it was a missed opportunity of not including the arcade version of Night Driver, given its historical significance with the company and where the idea came from. I just hope it is one of the new 39 games (especially the arcade version).
I will be picking up the DLC for the Switch original version providing its not silly money. Under a tenner would be the sweetspot for me.
Agreed.
You might see Space Invaders in this version.
🤔
Definitely sounds worthwhile and I'm surely interested, but if it's paid DLC even for current owners, I'll wait for more context before deciding to purchase.
I am worried that they will still largely ignore the Atari ST and its games. That is the Atari machine that had the biggest impact in Europe. And by far… :(
Thanks for sharing! Still hoping for Star Wars the arcade machine lol. 😉
I wouldn't hold my breath! 😁
I can’t wait for this dlc
This is the system I always wanted in my collection but never managed to get. I had all the Atari consoles, and they were great, but I always pined for the exclusive arcade ports on the Colecovision.
Same.
Wondering if they'll sneak Pitfall or H.E.R.O. into the new bundle, not sure I should hold my breath though. Sounds like my GOG account will have new dlc in it in the near future lol.
Those are both Activision titles, and unless something changes between now and then, they don't have the rights to redistribute their games.
I've got Atari 50 for the Switch. This sounds so awesome!
Bro, will this have Berserk(arcade version)? If so instant buy. That game is a nightmare after level 4. Even as a kid I could play it for an hour on one quarter. I don’t know why, I’m no great gamer, but I instantly understood its mechanics. The 2600 version doesn’t could because even though it’s a good graphical port, it’s a joke regarding difficulty
No game list published yet. They have the rights, so it if fits in the story, it may be included.
My god I hope so
