Classic Game Room HD – COMMANDO RAID for Atari 2600 review

admin — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 01:05:02 +0000

Shoot paratroopers with your cannon before they raid your buildings and destroy your cannon! This CGR review of Commando Raid for Atari 2600 has gameplay from this Atari VCS game cartridge showing game play in action as Commando Raid is played! Works with Atari joystick controllers and gets repetitive, but it’s still fun and easy to find these days. Shoot helicopters and the occasional airplane as well. Score points, blast androids and eat oatmeal. Atari!

Classic Game Room HD – DEFENDER for Atari 5200 review

admin — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 06:33:10 +0000

Classic Game Room HD reviews DEFENDER for Atari 5200. This Eugene Jarvis classic arcade game is one of the best in the world, how does it work on the Atari 5200? CGRHD review of Defender has gameplay footage recorded from Atari 5200 showing the space ship in Defender during game play. Defender is an old school, horizontally scrolling SHMUP style game where you fight off enemies and save humans before they are captured and turned into mutants. What fun! The Atari 5200 has multiple buttons (unlike Atari 2600) allowing players to shoot, drop smart bombs and hyperspace! Classic Game Room HD reviews Atari 5200 video game cartridges as a retro reviewer reviewing Atari 5200 video games from the early 1980’s.

Classic Game Room HD – DIG DUG for Atari 5200 review

admin — Sun, 07 Jun 2009 06:32:07 +0000

Classic Game Room HD reviews DIG DUG for Atari 5200. This 1982 Namco classic has a fine converstion for the Atari 5200 video game console and plays very well. It is extremely similar to the Atari 7800 game cartridge in fact. This CGRHD review of Dig Dug for Atari 5200 has gameplay footage from Dig Dug being played on Atari 5200. See our hero dig and dug while pumping enemies full of air and exploding them underground. Dig Dug should see a remake in 3D with first person shooter style and flamethrowers. Namco? Yes, we’re asking for it. Dig Dug ault 3D Megaslayer. Classic Game Room HD loves Dig Dug and other 1980’s coin-op classics. While the Atari 5200 has its share of disasters, Dig Dug is not one of them. This is a really nice video game that should belong in your colection of old school 5200 games. I’d still prefer the classic Dig Dug arcade machine though…

Classic Game Room HD – SPACE INVADERS for Atari 5200 review

admin — Wed, 20 May 2009 22:08:07 +0000

Classic Game Room HD reviews SPACE INVADERS for Atari 5200 from 1982. Originally created by Taito for the arcades in 1978, Space Invaders sees a unique translation for the Atari 5200 with many changes from the Atari 2600 version and original arcade coin-op. This CGRHD review has gameplay footage from Space Invaders for Atari 5200 showing the different varieties of aliens and colorful enemies that invade you from space, or invade your space… whatever. An excellent game somewhat spoiled by the uniquely awful Atari 5200 analog non self centering controller, Space Invaders packs hours of challenging game play as well as 12 different settings / difficulty levels.

admin — Sun, 10 May 2009 20:12:20 +0000

Classic Game Room HD reviews MS. PAC MAN for the Atari 5200 video game system from 1982. Ms. Pac Man is one of the greatest arcade coin-op classics ever created and appears on practically every video game console in the known universe (and parts of the next universe). Is this Atari 5200 version of Ms Pac-Man good and worthy of being called MS. PACMAN!? How does it compare to the Atari 2600 version of Ms. Pac Man and the Atari 7800 ProSystem version of Ms. Pac Man? Why is she wearing red boots and flirting at the camera? Questions, questions. One thing is for sure, KC Munchkin wants to hit that! Ms. Pac Man has many differences from Pac Man setting it apart from the excellent Pac Man cartridge for Atari 5200, but is it better?

Classic Game Room HD – SUPER BREAKOUT for Atari 5200 review

admin — Tue, 05 May 2009 22:47:17 +0000

Classic Game Room HD reviews SUPER BREAKOUT for Atari 5200. This Super version of Breakout was released in 1982 for the Atari 5200. How does it compare to the Atari 2600 version of Super Breakout? Watch the review and see. It’s like Pong meets Arkanoid for those of you not familiar with Atari’s masterpiece. Breakout took the simplicity of a basic paddle and ball bouncing game and amplified it to new extremes with fast paced, intense action. Destroy the bricks in this arcade style classic video game, earn more points for bricks higher in the formation and challenge yourself with increased speed when you do better. Super Breakout contains 4 different versions of gameplay for the Atari 5200 controller, although without paddle controller support the game suffers in the control department. Classic Game Room HD reviews Atari 5200 games as an Atari 5200 reviewer reviewing Atari 5200 video games like Super Breakout. This CGRHD has Super Breakout gameplay from Atari 5200.
