DragonStomper
DragonStomper stands out as the first role-playing game (RPG) released on a home video game console.
Long ago, a druid sorcerer created a powerful amulet capable of subduing dragons. On his way to the dragon's lair, the druid accidentally dropped the amulet, which fell into the depths of the dragon's lair. Eventually, the amulet gave the dragon cunning and power to spread treachery and evil in the peaceful kingdom. The player's adventure begins when the king summons him to defeat the dragon. Players must answer the call and first gather strength to become DragonStomper, fighting creatures in a magical land. Gather soldiers, buy magic scrolls, get medicines and elixirs and head to the dragon's lair. Armed with all his skills, training, equipment and soldiers, DragonStomper will descend into the dragon's lair for one last battle to bring peace to his kingdom.
Combat in the game is turn-based, and enemies appear randomly and can attack playable characters. Mercenaries join the party and can be controlled by the AI for combat. There are traps in many locations that must be discovered and avoided. Certain situations in the game can be approached in different ways and solutions to problems vary.
Killer Satellites
For decades, weapons satellites orbiting the Earth have been harmless. Now, for no reason, it has fallen from the sky to annihilate the human race. You are a test pilot with an experimental machine that can stop that satellite. It is up to you to protect your homeland.
You are flying over the force field of your city. Satellites fall from the sky and appear in the radar area at the top of the screen. The satellites have the ability to penetrate the city's shields, so you have to fly over them and shoot them down before they reach the city. Watch your fuel, as you will lose a life if you run out of it. Also, watch out for the laser heat indicator just below the fuel gauge. If the laser gets too hot, it will not fire until it cools down. The city's force field can't stop satellites, but it can stop your ship, so jumping into it will deplete your energy. In later levels, you will have to deal not only with satellites, but also with meteors. Meteorites cannot be shot, but they cannot penetrate the city's shield. However, if you hit a meteorite, it will be destroyed and you will lose a life.
Party Mix
The year was 1983, and Atari was at the height of its success. The gaming industry was booming, and the release of Party Mix for the Atari 2600 was met with great anticipation and excitement. This multiplayer game was a unique addition to the Atari library, offering a variety of fun and fast-paced mini games to keep players entertained for hours.
At its core, Party Mix was a collection of mini games that could be played with up to four players. The game came with a set of 12 different games, each with its own unique objective and gameplay style. Some of the games included Ping Pong, which was a simple yet addictive game of bouncing a ball back and forth, and Space Attack, where players could battle it out in space using their spaceships.
One of the standout features of Party Mix was its diverse game selection. Players could choose from a range of games, such as maze puzzles, racing games, and even a game where players had to catch falling objects. This variety allowed parties and gatherings to remain entertaining and enjoyable, as there was something for everyone to enjoy.
The graphics of Party Mix may not have been as flashy as other Atari games, but they were still impressive for their time. The colors were vibrant, and the movements were smooth, keeping players fully engaged in the gameplay. The sound effects and music were also a pleasant addition, further enhancing the overall gaming experience.
What set Party Mix apart from other multiplayer games at the time was its competitive nature. With each mini game, players were not only competing against the game but also against each other, adding an extra level of excitement and tension. This made for some intense and memorable gaming moments that are still fondly remembered by players today.
Despite its initial success, Party Mix unfortunately did not receive the same level of recognition as other Atari games. This may have been due to the arrival of newer gaming consoles, such as the Nintendo Entertainment System, which quickly dominated the market. However, for those who were fortunate enough to play Party Mix, it remains a beloved and nostalgia-inducing game that stands the test of time.
Rabbit Transit
You are a rabbit and you try to get a partner, in which you will do as a mathematician multiplying. First you have to cross the meadow and go over the ledge without losing a life or a limb.
You will start on a screen called the mystery meadow. You have to fly from the top to the river and land on the turtle, while avoiding snakes, helicopters and butterflies that lose lives and return you to the starting point. If you run out of time, you will lose a life, so don't be lazy. Once you reach the turtle, you will be taken to the Land of Rice Terraces. Here, you have to jump from ledge to ledge and change its color, just like in QBert. Watch out for the man at the top of the screen, as he will drop a stone that will cause you to lose a life. After this, he will return some ledges to their original color and you will be forced to retrace your steps. Once you have cleared The Land of ledges, the next scene is The Rabbit Bushes. This scene is cinematic until you find your friends and family. You can skip it by pressing 'Fire'. After that, the game starts from the beginning, but with more difficulty.
Survival Island
You were on your way to a mysterious island to study a temple, but your ship has sunk. Now you must get to the island, traverse the treacherous jungle while collecting supplies, and then explore the temple. This is all in a day's work.
There are three sections to this game. They are called 'Shipwreck', 'Wild Island' and 'Secret Temple'.
Shipwreck. You start on a raft on the water. You must avoid sharks and other sea creatures as you make your way to the island at the top. Along the way, you must collect food and water to survive on the island. If you are attacked by sharks or other sea creatures, you will lose your raft and all your supplies. If you hit a raft when you are not on it, you will lose your life. Pressing Fire will make you swim faster, but it will consume life points and can kill you.
Wild island Cross the island while avoiding snakes, traps and other dangers. You have to find the temple, the key to the temple door and other items needed to cross the temple. Be careful not to lose your food meter. Use the menu to eat food and drink water when you need it. You can also switch to exploration mode to place your wand on an object and find out what it is without taking damage.
Temple of Secrets Walk through the temple from a first-person perspective and explore its secrets. Sometimes, you will need to find certain items to get through the magical barriers. Beware of one-way walls and invisible transports.
Sword of Saros
You have entered a dungeon of wizards in search of the legendary Sword of Saros. You must collect treasures while avoiding wizards, hunting bats and other nuisances. Then, you must escape from the dungeon.
The player starts in a maze. The narrow areas are the passageways and the wide areas are the rooms. The player moves from room to room, collecting treasures, items and keys while avoiding the wizard and bats. Each room has its own dangerous monsters, so standing still once you enter can be fatal. Some of the room doors hide gold bars or sword shards. If you find a piece of sword, you can move on to the next level.
In the first two levels, the player can see the whole maze. In the next two levels, other parts of the maze are gradually revealed as they are explored. In the last levels, the player can only see directly behind him. Touching a monster will reduce its life. If the player encounters a wizard, not only does he lose life points, but getting through his skeletons becomes a new problem. The player must start at the bottom of the screen and work his way to the top. In the final dungeon, all rooms only have unlocked doors, but to find the exit, the player must give money to the monsters.
The objects in the maze and their uses are as follows.
Gold This is not a selectable item. You will need it to bribe the monsters in the last level.
Gems When you collect 9 gems, you can use them to get one or more of each item.
Lamp Allows you to see the entire maze; not needed in mazes 1 and 2.
Potion Restores 4 to 7 health points. The total number of life points cannot exceed 25.
Crucifix Moves mages and bats as far as possible.
Scroll Makes wizards and bats visible to the player even if they are not in sight in the maze; not necessary for mazes 1 and 2.
Ring Makes the player invisible to wizards, bats, and monsters in the room.
Key Not an item of choice. It is needed to open locked doors in all dungeons except the last one. The key will never leave the dungeon. Once you get the sword fragment, any key you had will be lost and you will have to find a new one.
