![]() ![]() | Frogs and Flies [Model MT5664] | Update | ![]() | |
Frogs and Flies (c) 1982 M Network - TIPS AND TRICKS - Don't fall in the pond! Your frog will be out of business. You'll have to wait until he swims back to the pad before you can try for another score. In the B EASY GAME, the automatic tongue is most effective when frog isn't on the way up or down. Time your jumps so that frog gets closest to fly at the highest or lowest point in his jump. Watch the time. Game time is three minutes. Watch for the changing sky - from daylight to sunset and darkness. Change to black of night means scoring time is running out! REMEMBER: an inactive frog won't stay inactive! In the one player game, the computer could beat you by working the other frog automatically. And whenever any frog is not moved for 15 seconds, computer will take over. - PORTS - * Others : Atari Flashback 5 [US] (oct.1, 2014) by AtGames Atari Flashback 6 [US] (sept.15, 2015) by AtGames Atari Flashback 7 [US] (oct.1, 2016) by AtGames Atari Ultimate Portable Game Player [US] (nov.2016) by AtGames | ||||

![]() ![]() | Quadrun [Model CX2686] | Update | ![]() | |
Quadrun (c) 1983 Atari, Incorporated. Long ago, the peaceful land of Quad was invaded by cruel Captors who rounded up all the helpless inhabitants and imprisoned them in cages. The Captors called their prisoners 'Runts'. And the name has stuck. Now you've come to Quad to rescue the Runts and destroy their Captors with your special weapon: phaser balls. * Your weapon: phaser balls Shoot the Captors with a phaser ball, then run to the opposite sector and catch the phaser ball so that you can reuse it. Be quick and accurate: you have only three phaser balls with which to destroy the Captors. The game ends when you lose all three phaser balls. * Running around the quad The Quad consists of four sectors, with a Runt cage in the center. You can run to any sector on the screen. But to switch from a vertical sector to a horizontal sector, or vice versa, you must touch one of the side walls. * The bad guys: the captors There are five Captors per wave. Each wave begins with the QUADRUN voice, and each wave features a different type of Captor. Captors patrol the quad vertically. You can shoot at Captors only while you're in the vertical sectors. If a Captor crashes into you, you lose a phaser ball. * The good guys: the Runts Runts escape from the center cage and race madly left or right toward their doom: an electrified toaster grid. Catch each Runt before it runs into the grid or it will fry. You can catch Runts only while you're in the horizontal sectors. * Don't let the critter counter disappear! The white line located at the top of the screen is the Critter Counter. Every time you fail to destroy a Captor or fail to catch a Runt, the Critter Counter decreases in length. When it disappears, the game ends. * Crazy Crazed Wave After you complete five waves, you begin the CRAZED WAVE. At the start of the CRAZED WAVE, the Critter Counter returns to its full length and you receive bonus points for all remaining phaser balls. During the CRAZED WAVE, you face constant attacks from a random assortment of the five types of Captors. - PORTS - * Consoles : Microsoft XBOX [US] (nov.16, 2004) "Atari Anthology [Model 26084]" Sony PlayStation 2 [US] (nov.22, 2004) "Atari Anthology [Model SLUS-21076]" Sony PlayStation 2 [EU] (feb.18, 1005) "Atari Anthology [Model SLES-53061]" Microsoft XBOX [EU] (nov.26, 2004) "Atari Anthology" Microsoft XBOX [JP] (aug.4, 2005) "Atari Anthology [Model B7X-00001]" Sony PlayStation 4 [US] (oct.18, 2016) "Atari Flashback Classics Vol.1" Microsoft XBOX One [US] [EU] (nov.1, 2016) "Atari Flashback Classics Vol.1" * Handhelds : Nintendo DS [US] (mar.8, 2011) "Atari Greatest Hits Vol.2 [Model NTR-BR7E-USA]" * Computers : PC [MS Window, CD-ROM] [US] (nov.11, 2003) "Atari - 80 Classic Games in One!

Golf (c) 1980 Atari, Incorporated. This golf game program is patterned after the traditional game of golf. There are nine holes in which you must succeed in hitting the ball into a cup. Each time you hit the ball in an effort to reach the cup it is called a stroke. Although the number of strokes you take to hit the ball into the cup is unlimited, each hole has a designated par. Par represents the number of strokes you are ideally supposed to take to complete the hole. Total par for this course is 36. The par for each hole is displayed at the top of the screen, next to the hole number. When playing a 1-player game, try to match or beat par. In a 2-player game, the player with the least amount of strokes is the winner. - PORTS - * Consoles : Microsoft XBOX [US] (nov.16, 2004) "Atari Anthology [Model 26084]" Sony PlayStation 2 [US] (nov.22, 2004) "Atari Anthology [Model SLUS-21076]" Microsoft XBOX [JP] (aug.4, 2005) "Atari Anthology [Model B7X-00001]" Microsoft XBOX One [US] (nov.1, 2016) "Atari Flashback Classics Vol.2" Sony PlayStation 4 [US] (nov.1, 2016) "Atari Flashback Classics Vol.2" * Handhelds : Nintendo DS [US] (mar.8, 2011) "Atari Greatest Hits Vol.2 [Model NTR-BR7E-USA]" * Computers : PC [MS Windows, CD-ROM] [US] (nov.11, 2003) "Atari - 80 Classic Games in One!

![]() ![]() | Gravitar | Update | ![]() | |
Gravitar (c) 1982 Atari. Gravitar is a 1- or 2-player game with a color X-Y video display. This new display, with its three color guns and higher voltage, has the same technology that was used in previous Atari black-and-white X-Y displays. However, the screen now displays dazzling colors and unique visual effects. The player controls a space ship in three different solar systems. Each solar system consists of a home base, a death star, a red alien planet and four regular planets. Each planet has its own unique terrain. The red alien planet is the home of shooting alien ships. Some of the regular planets may have flying alien rammers to be avoided or shot down. The four planets all have fuel cells to be retrieved with a tractor beam and alien bunkers that fire shells. Successfully destroying all of the bunkers results in a 'MISSION COMPLETE' message at the top of the screen. Achieving 'MISSION COMPLETE' allows the player to collect bonus if he can evade the rammers when leaving the planet. If successful, he will be placed back in the solar system. A player has two ways to advance to the next solar system. The first is to successfully complete a mission on all four regular planets. The second way is to complete a mission on the red alien planet, which establishes a link into the next solar system. The play mode begins in the first solar system with the player's blue ship in the center of the screen at home base. There are four regular planets plus a fifth red alien planet and a death star arranged clockwise around the screen in increasing order of difficulty. The planets are worth 2,000, 4,000, 6,000, and 8,000 points with a value of 9,000 points on the alien planet. The positions of the alien planet and the death star vary in the second and third solar systems. After the first solar system all planets are valued at 9,000 points. The death star, located near home base, is the center of gravity in each solar system. Colliding with it results in the loss of one life, and the player returns to home base. The words 'SCORE' (with current total score), 'FUEL' (running total of original 10,000-point fuel supply), and 'BONUS' (decreasing point value of planet under attack) appear at the top of the screen throughout game play. Player controls consist of LEFT ROTATE, RIGHT ROTATE, FIRE, THRUST, and TRACTOR/SHIELD yellow pushbuttons. Use FIRE to shoot targets. A player has four shells that must hit a target or must travel their full distance in order to be reloaded. TRACTOR/SHIELD retrieves fuel with a tractor beam and shields the ship from alien shots. The TRACTOR/SHIELD does not prevent the ship from crashing into land or alien ships. TRACTOR/SHIELD and THRUST decrease the player's fuel supply. Using these controls together decreases the fuel supply even faster. Blue fuel cells are positioned just below a planet's surface. There are two, three, or four fuel cells per planet terrain (depending on level of game play). Each cell beamed aboard ship with TRACTOR is worth 2,500 fuel units. If the player's ship is above the highest point on some planet terrains, flying alien rammers attack him. Shooting a rammer scores 100 points. If the player gets too close to a shooting alien ship, he is involved in a one-on-one space dogfight, and either he or the alien ship must die. If the player is victorious, he returns to the solar system at his original spot; if the alien ship wins, the player loses a life and returns to home base. Red alien bunkers appear on each planet. There are 2, 4, 6, or 8 bunkers per surface (depending on the difficulty of the planet). The bunkers fire shots to protect the fuel cells. Exploding a bunker scores 250 points. Exploding all bunkers in a solar system displays a 'MISSION COMPLETE' message. The word 'SUPERBONUS' and the number of superbonus points appear in the middle of the screen only after a completed mission on the first planet in the first solar system. These superbonus points are awarded on the basis of initial difficulty of the first planet successfully completed. The higher the bonus point value of the planet attacked, the higher the superbonus awarded. No superbonus points are awarded for attacking the 2,000-point (easiest) planet or for attacking the four regular planets in consecutive order of difficulty. A player may fly to any planet he chooses. The number beside each planet is the starting number of bonus points for that planet. Entering a planet causes the distinct planet terrain to appear. To get maximum points, the player must shoot all alien bunkers and see 'MISSION COMPLETE' at the top of the screen. A player may exit a planet at any time; he does not have to stay any longer than he wishes. The red alien planet (worth 9,000 points) is home for red alien ships that must be shot down or avoided. The alien planet looks the same in every solar system: terrain consists of a spiral tunnel with a reactor at its end. Under a decrementing timer, the player must maneuver through the tunnel without hitting the walls and shoot the reactor (Hitting the walls or not escaping in time places the player back at home base). Shooting the reactor will make it glow and pulsate. Then the player must escape before the timer reaches zero (In the next solar systems, the timer of the alien planet decreases by two seconds, and there are shooting bunkers to overcome). Completing the mission on the alien planet places the player in the next solar system with an additional 7,500 fuel points. Gravitar progresses by waves of planets (new solar systems). Successfully destroying the reactor and escaping from the red alien planet, or achieving a MISSION COMPLETE on all four regular planets places the player in the next solar system (next level of game play). The 4 levels of game play are described as follows : a. Regular gravity b. Negative gravity c. Regular gravity with invisible landscape and maximum difficulty d. Negative gravity with invisible landscape and maximum difficulty Alien ship speed and firing frequency, rammer speed, bunker firing frequency, and bonus points are all based on time elapsed in game play. Both regular and negative gravity increase, depending on the initial planet bonus level. The game ends when all lives are used up or when player is out of fuel. - SCORING - Obstacles : Red bunker : 250 points Rammer : 100 points Alien Ship : 100 points Each planet has a bonus that constantly decreases with elapsed game time. A superbonus is awarded after the first 'MISSION COMPLETE' is achieved. Planet Bonus 9,000 - Superbonus 20,000 Planet Bonus 8,000 - Superbonus 12,000 Planet Bonus 6,000 - Superbonus 6,000 Planet Bonus 4,000 - Superbonus 2,000 Planet Bonus 2,000 - Superbonus 0 - TIPS AND TRICKS - * Depending on the highest score, 1 of 8 list names appears above the table of initials... Between 0 and 20,000 points : FLUNKY Between 20,001 and 40,000 points : GUNNER Between 40,001 and 80,000 points : CO-PILOT Between 80,001 and 100,000 points : PILOT Between 100,001 and 200,000 points : ACE PILOT Between 201,001 and 400,000 points : KILLER PILOT Between 400,001 and 800,000 points : PONTIUS PILATE Above 800,000 points : GOTTA-BE-LUCKY * A Well Known Cheat/Bug : At a joint between 2 vectors (>90 degrees), position yourself below and shoot straight up. If you can align yourself just right, the shots will travel through the walls at the joint. Without moving from side to side, just thrust up and voila, you are now inside the wall. You can now move around and shoot the gun pods from behind. This is especially useful if you can get under the world! * Hint 1 : Develop skill for controlling the space ship in regular and negative gravity. * Hint 2 : Beam up fuel cells with TRACTOR/SHIELD. * Hint 3 : Attack the red alien planet first for maximum challenge and 20,000 bonus points! Completion of this planet immediately places a player in the next solar system where all planets are worth 9,000 bonus points. * Hint 4 : Attack more difficult planets early in the game for higher bonus points. * Hint 5 : Many planet terrains have safe areas or 'blind spots' from which the player can safely shoot at bunkers. - PORTS - * Consoles : Atari 2600 [US] (1983) "Gravitar [Model CX2685]" Atari 2600 [US] (1988) "Gravitar" Sony PlayStation [US] (2001) "Atari Anniversary Edition Redux [Model SLUS-01427]" Sega Dreamcast [US] (jul.2, 2001) "Atari Anniversary Edition [Model T-15130N]" Sony PlayStation [US] (mar.1, 2002) "Atari Anniversary Edition Redux [Model SLES-03808]" Microsoft XBOX [US] (nov.16, 2004) "Atari Anthology [Model 26084]" Sony PlayStation 2 [US] (nov.22, 2004) "Atari Anthology [Model SLUS-21076]" Microsoft XBOX [EU] (nov.26, 2004) "Atari Anthology" Sony PlayStation 2 [EU] (feb.18, 2005) "Atari Anthology [Model SLES-53061]" Microsoft XBOX [JP] (aug.4, 2005) "Atari Anthology [Model B7X-00001]" Microsoft XBOX One [US] (nov.1, 2016) "Atari Flashback Classics Vol.2" Sony PlayStation 4 [US] [EU] (nov.1, 2016) "Atari Flashback Classics Vol.2" * Handhelds : Nintendo DS [UK] (mar.11, 2005) "Retro Atari Classics [Model NTR-ATAE-UKV]" Nintendo DS [EU] (mar.11, 2005) "Retro Atari Classics [Model NTR-ATAE-EUR]" Nintendo DS [US] (mar.16, 2005) "Retro Atari Classics [Model NTR-ATAE-USA]" Nintendo DS [JP] (june.30, 2005) "Atarimix Happy 10 Games [Model NTR-ATAJ-JPN]" Nintendo DS [AU] (nov.2007) "Retro Atari Classics [Model NTR-ATAE-AUS]" Nintendo DS [US] (nov.2, 2010) "Atari Greatest Hits Vol.1 [Model NTR-BR6E-USA]" Nintendo DS [EU] (feb.24, 2011) "Atari Greatest Hits Vol.1 [Model NTR-BR6P-EUR]" * Computers : PC [MS Windows, CD-ROM] [US] (apr.4, 1998) "Atari Arcade Hits 2" PC [MS Windows, CD-ROM] [EU] (2000) "Atari Arcade Hits 2" PC [MS Windows, CD-ROM] [US] (jul.9, 2001) "Atari Anniversary Edition" PC [MS Windows, CD-ROM] [EU] (dec.14, 2001) "Atari Anniversary Edition" PC [MS Windows, CD-ROM] [US] (nov.11, 2003) "Atari - 80 Classic Games in One!

![]() ![]() | Desert Falcon [Model CX26140] | Update | ![]() | |
Desert Falcon (c) 1987 Atari Corporation. The Pharaoh's lost treasures - enormous gems, big golden eggs, and silver ingots - are scattered among the ancient pyramids and obelisks. Fly towards the treasures, then hover or hop over them to pick them up and earn points. Use your joystick handle to maneuver. The treasures are guarded by flying and crawling beasts. Burrowing Uwes crawl out of the sand to charge at you, and Vultures, Warrior Phleas, Scarabs, Flying Fish, and Phantom Gliders attack from the air. Darts fly at you, spit our by the Howling Sphinx waiting at the end of the trail. All these enemies will destroy you if they hit you. Protect yourself by firing darts. A direct hit destroys enemy creatures and gains you points. You can also maneuver around enemies. At higher levels, watch out for flame-throwing Fire Pots and dart-shooting Mini-Sphinxes. You begin the game with five lives. Each time you're hit or you crash into an object you lose a life, but you will recover as long as you have lives left. The end of each desert trek brings you to the Howling Sphinx. You must shoot this Sphinx in the middle of its face in order to get past it, all the while dodging the darts and nasty creatures it spits at you. - TIPS AND TRICKS - * Gauge the altitude of flying beasts by watching their shadows. * Figure out what combination of hieroglyphs awards you which power. For instance, the combination "Bird, Cane, Bowl" gives you Warp (except at Novice level) while the combination "Cane, Bird, Bowl" (the same hieroglyphs in a different order) gives you Air Bomb. Pick up a particular combination when its power will do you the most good. * In the bonus round, go for the treasures that have the highest value multiplier. - PORTS - * Consoles : Microsoft XBOX [US] (nov.16, 2004) "Atari Anthology [Model 26084]" Sony PlayStation 2 [US] (nov.22, 2004) "Atari Anthology [Model SLUS-21076]" Microsoft XBOX [JP] (aug.4, 2005) "Atari Anthology [Model B7X-00001]" Sony PlayStation 4 [US] (oct.18, 2016) "Atari Flashback Classics Vol.1" Microsoft XBOX One [US] (nov.1, 2016) "Atari Flashback Classics Vol.1" * Handhelds : Nintendo DS [US] (mar.8, 2011) "Atari Greatest Hits Vol.2 [Model NTR-BR7E-USA]" * Computers : PC [MS Windows, CD-ROM] [US] (nov.11, 2003) "Atari - 80 Classic Games in One!

![]() ![]() | Demons to Diamonds [Model CX2615] | Update | ![]() | |
Demons to Diamonds (c) 1982 Atari, Incorporated. - SCORING - Every time you hit a demon of your own color, you receive 1 to 8 points, depending upon which row the demon occupies. For example, a demon in the row nearest your laser base is worth 1 point, while a demon in the third row from your laser is worth 3 points. Each pulsating diamond is worth 10 to 80 points, or 10 times the value of the row it occupies. - TIPS AND TRICKS - Create skulls as far as possible from your laser base; these are more likely to hit your opponent than you. Aim at demons of your own color that are as far away as possible; they are worth more points than the close ones. But beware of your opponent hitting your bonus diamond. He gets those points, too. Try to hit the diamonds whenever you can. They are worth a lot of points and, if you can hit them consistently, your score will rise quickly. Spontaneous skulls usually appear at the edge of the rows. Don't spend too much time in this vicinity. The safest position is just to the right or left of the center. Take care when firing into the center of the screen. This is where demons first appear, and you can inadvertently hit an opponent while aiming at your own color. The same thing can happen when you try to hit your own color at the edge of the screen. Since demons change color when they bump into the right and left sides, you can usually end up hitting an opponent and making a skull there. - PORTS - * Consoles : Microsoft XBOX [US] (nov.16, 2004) "Atari Anthology [Model 26084]" Sony PlayStation 2 [US] (nov.22, 2004) "Atari Anthology [Model SLUS-21076]" Microsoft XBOX [JP] (aug.4, 2005) "Atari Anthology [Model B7X-00001]" Microsoft XBOX One [US] (nov.1, 2016) "Atari Flashback Classics Vol.2" Sony PlayStation 4 [US] (nov.1, 2016) "Atari Flashback Classics Vol.2" * Handhelds : Nintendo DS [US] (mar.8, 2011) "Atari Greatest Hits Vol.2 [Model NTR-BR7E-USA]" * Computers : PC [MS Windows, CD-ROM] [US] (nov.11, 2003) "Atari - 80 Classic Games in One!

![]() ![]() | Centipede [Upright model] | Update | ![]() | |
Centipede (c) 1980 Atari. Centipede is a 1- or 2-player game with a color raster-scan monitor. The fast-moving game action takes place on a magical mushroom patch and includes a variety of insects that drop down from the top of the screen or enter from the sides of the screen, most of them to attack the Bug Blaster, controlled by the player. The Bug Blaster is represented on the screen by a somewhat humanoid head. The object of the game is to shoot at and destroy as many of these insects and mushrooms as possible for a high point score, before the player's lives are all used up. Player control consists of a Mini-Trak Ball control and a FIRE button. The Bug Blaster is moved by rotating the Mini-Trak Ball control. The Bug Blaster can be moved in all directions, but only within the bottom 5th of the screen. However, the Bug Blaster must move around mushrooms, since these are fixed, not 'transparent', objects. Pressing the button causes the Bug Blaster to fire individual shots upward, either singly or in rapid-fire mode, if held down constantly. Only one shot appears on the screen at a time. Gameplay begins with a playfield of randomly-placed mushrooms in a mushroom patch. A Centipede starts snaking its way across from the center top of the screen. The Centipede changes direction when it runs into a mushroom or either the left or right boundaries of the playfield. When a segment of the Centipede is shot, it is destroyed and a mushroom appears where that segment was shot. When a body segment is shot, the Centipede breaks into two smaller Centipedes, each with its own head. When a Centipede reaches the bottom of the screen, it starts back up, but remains within the area of the Bug Blaster (the bottom fifth of the screen). If a Centipede reaches the bottom of the screen without being shot, it releases its tail. This tail changes into a new head. Also to provide the player a challenge, if a Centipede is still alive when it reaches the bottom, new heads will enter the screen almost at the bottom of the sides. More of these heads will appear as time progresses. A round of play ends when all Centipede segments are destroyed. The randomly moving Spiders also appear in the first wave. The Spiders can destroy any mushrooms they move over. This eliminates many mushroom targets for a player. Depending on a special option switch setting, the Spider moves slowly until the player reaches a specific score, and then it speeds up. If the Bug Blaster and a Spider collide, both are destroyed. When a Centipede with fewer than eleven body segments appears, a bombardment of Fleas starts. As a Flea descends, it leaves a trail of new mushrooms behind it. Fleas appear when a certain number of mushrooms remains at the bottom of the screen. This number increases as the game progresses, meaning Fleas appear more often later on in the game. The Bug Blaster must hit a Flea twice to destroy it; the first shot just speeds it up. When a Centipede with fewer than ten body segments appears, a Scorpion enters from either side, moving at a relatively slow speed. As the player earns more points, the Scorpion's speed increases. As the Scorpion travels across the screen, it 'poisons' the mushrooms that it moves over and changes their colors. These mushrooms cause any Centipedes that would collide with them to head straight towards the bottom of the screen, rather than continue snaking around. The Bug Blaster can stop a poisoned Centipede by shooting its head. In addition, these poisoned mushrooms as well as any partially shot mushrooms add 5 points to the player's score as the mushroom patch resets after a player loses a life. If the players are very skilled and earn at least 60,000 points, two things happen to increase player challenge : the Fleas descend at a faster speed and the Spiders restrict their movement to a smaller area at the bottom of the screen. An important new feature of this game is the operator option for easy/hard game difficulty. At Easy, the Spider moves slowly up to a 5,000-point score, and then bounces at a higher speed. It also changes direction less often throughout the game than at the hard setting. At Hard, the Spider moves slowly only for the first 1,000 points, and then speeds up. It also changes direction more often throughout the game. In either setting, the Spider always moves at a 45-degree angle or straight up and down. - TRIVIA - The original Upright model of Centipede was released in June 1981, and was sold $1,995 at its release. 46,062 units were produced. It's Atari's second bestselling coin-op game. It was an Atari coin-operated game that swiftly won a wide following in the arcades. Apart from its smooth game play, Centipede was praised for its refreshing approach to screen colors and for its whimsical mushroom world. Centipede was the first coin-op game to be designed by a woman - Dona Bailey. But Ed Logg did the majority of the work on Centipede; Dona only came up with the prototype idea, where the mushrooms were indestructible and it was more like "Space Invaders". Like "Pac-Man", this game has special appeal to women. * The Creation of Centipede : Centipede was written by veteran Atari designer Ed Logg, who has become something of a legend in the world of video games, and a young game programmer who was credited with bringing a gentler touch to the world of video games with the enchanted mushroom patch. Steve Calfee : 'Ed Logg is the world's greatest games designer. He's done the most, the best games. His line up starts with "Asteroids", which probably still is the biggest run we ever did. He's in [a long line of games]. He's kind of like Pete Rose; he has the most hits and he's also probably got the most strike outs. He just goes up to bat.' * Remembrances from the Video Game Masters : The mushroom patch with its tenacious, never-say-die centipedes, bouncing spiders, mushroom-laying fleas and transforming scorpions provided an imaginative leap for players, just as did the hoards of aliens in "Tempest", the outer space adventures of "Asteroids", the eerie battlefields of "Battlezone" and even the frightful scenarios of "Missile Command". Of these times, and the games that emerged from Atari, Rich Adam said : 'We were a young group of fun people who were sort of treading on untrodden territory. We were out exploring what technology could do to entertain adolescent minds, and we were adolescent minds.' In the early days of personal computers, before they became commonplace, and before sophisticated gaming programs were available for them, the arcades (and wherever else the coin-operated games were located) were the portals into these new fantasy worlds. And a river of quarters carried players into the electronic realms. Dan Pliskin described the coin-operated video game business as follows : "It was a wacky, extremely competitive business. I was there when coin-operated games were earning $8 billion in quarters a year. These games were out-grossing the record industry and the movie industry combined, in quarters! And when you looked at who was manufacturing these games, it was just a couple of Japanese companies and a few American companies.... There was incredible competition, all for kids' lunch and church money!" The quarters are still rolling in. Dan Pliskin continued : "People say that video games have already seen their heyday and business has definitely gone downhill. Maybe it has gone downhill. Maybe it's only $4 billion worth of quarters now. It's still one heck of an industry." * Popular from the Start : The prototype games were hand-built, wire-wrapped, one-of-a kinds that were created by the development team prior to ordering the circuit boards for the mass-produced versions. With just a single machine, people would come in at all hours of the night to play a new game. Dan Pliskin : 'One of the things that kind of allowed everybody at Atari to have kind of a loose and enjoyable relationship was that management was kind of loose, too. An example of that happened with one of Howard Delman's games. I can't remember which one it was, but we sent the one and only prototype wire-wrapped version of Howie's game off to the AMOA (Amusement and Music Operators Association) show with strict orders not to sell it.' Of course the game was sold anyway, and a new prototype had to be assembled back at the labs. Dan Pliskin continued : 'Several months later Howie gets a call from the person who bought this game. It had stopped collecting money and he wanted to know how to change the settings to make it play longer, or something, to see if it would earn more money. Howie had to tell the guy that if it ever collected any money at all, it was a miracle because it didn't have any coin routines at all. It had none, because we had wired it for free-play when we sent it to the AMOA show!' * The Great 25-Cent Escape : Especially in the early 1980s a great many newspaper and magazine articles were written about the meaning of and possible consequences of the wave of video games that seemed to allure so many kids, and adults, to the arcades. But at the heart of it might have been the promise of a quick escape into another world. Rich Adam : "I kind of figured out, maybe years after the fact, what I think the lure of video games is. It's because people have so little control over their lives. This is especially true with kids, but even adults often have little control over the day-to-day part of their lives. You have to go to work. You don't get to control that much of your life. But for a quarter you can control this very complex machine. You can command it. For a quarter that's quite a bargain, to be able to do that for five minutes... When you're good at a game it gives you an incredible sense of power over the whole environment.". Centipede was the 1st UL (Underwriter's Laboratories) approved game. Jim Schneider holds the official record for this game on 'Marathon' settings with 16,389,547 points on August 1, 1984. Donald Hayes holds the official record for this game on 'Tournament' settings with 7,111,111 points on November 5, 2000. Note 1 : The upright side artwork features a grasshopper, while it is not present during game-play. In test mode you can cycle through the different graphical objects used in the game (the player, a mushroom, a spider, a scorpion, a flea and a grasshopper). Grasshopper?! Yes, the game was to originally have had grasshoppers but they were taken out. You can still see them in the test however. Note 2 : 'Centipede' is also the name of a terrifying, man-eating monster of the size of a mountain. This Japanese legend say that the dragon king of that particular lake asked the famous hero Hidesato to kill it for him. The hero slew it by shooting an arrow, dipped in his own saliva, into the brain of the monster. The dragon king rewarded Hidesato by giving him a rice-bag; a bag of rice which could not be emptied and it fed his family for centuries. Centipede inspired a catchy hit song by Buckner and Garcia called 'Ode To A Centipede' released on the 'Pac-Man Fever' album. The default high score screen of "Cyberball 2072" features names of many Atari arcade games, including CENTIPED. A Centipede unit appears in the 1982 movie "Fast Times at Ridgemont High", in the 1983 movie "WarGames", in the 1983 movie "James Bond 007 - Never Say Never Again", in the 1983 movie "Joysticks", in the 1984 movie "Body Double", in the 1985 movie "Teen Wolf", in the 1986 movie "Running Scared", in the 1987 movie "Death Wish 4 - The Crackdown", in the 1995 movie "Species" and in the 1996 movie 'House Arrest'. In 1982, Atari released a set of twelve collector pins including : "Missile Command", "Battle Zone", "Tempest", "Asteroids Deluxe", "Space Duel", "Centipede", "Gravitar", "Dig Dug", "Kangaroo", "Xevious", "Millipede" and "Food Fight". MB (Milton Bradley) released a boardgame based on Atari's Centipede. A Reimagined version of the Centipede franchise, was launched for the Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo Wii under name of "Centipede Infestation". - PORTS - * Consoles : Atari 2600 [US] (1982) "Centipede [Model CX2676]" Atari 2600 [EU] (1982) "Centipede [Model CX2676P]" Atari 2600 [JP] (oct.1983) Atari 5200 [US] (1982) "Centipede [Model CX5215]" Atari XEGS Colecovision [US] (1983) "Centipede [Model 70004]" Mattel Intellivision [US] (1983) "Centipede [Model 70254]" Atari 7800 [US] (1987) "Centipede [Model CX7801]" Sega Master System [EU] (1992) "Arcade Smash Hits [Model MK-27032-50]" Sega Genesis [US] (1996) "Arcade Classics [Model MK-1715]" Sega Mega Drive [EU] (1996) "Arcade Classics [Model MK-1715-50]" Sony PlayStation [US] (dec.31, 1996) "Arcade's Greatest Hits - The Atari Collection 1 [Model SLUS-00339]" Sega Saturn [EU] (1997) "Arcade's Greatest Hits - The Atari Collection 1 [Model T-25413H-50]" Sega Saturn [US] (june.30, 1997) "Arcade's Greatest Hits - The Atari Collection 1 [Model T-9706H]" Sony PlayStation [EU] (dec.1997) "Arcade's Greatest Hits - The Atari Collection 1 [Model SLES-00466]" Nintendo SNES [US] (aug.1997) "Arcade's Greatest Hits - The Atari Collection 1 [Model SNS-AW7E-USA]" Nintendo SNES [EU] (feb.26, 1998) "Arcade's Greatest Hits - The Atari Collection 1 [Model SNSP-AW7P-EUR]" Sony PlayStation [US] (2001) "Atari Anniversary Edition Redux [Model SLUS-01427]" Sega Dreamcast [US] (jul.2, 2001) "Atari Anniversary Edition [Model T-15130N]" Sony PlayStation [EU] (mar.1, 2002) "Atari Anniversary Edition Redux [Model SLES-03808]" Microsoft XBOX [US] (nov.16, 2004) "Atari Anthology [Model 26084]" Sony PlayStation 2 [US] (nov.22, 2004) "Atari Anthology [Model SLUS-21076]" Microsoft XBOX [EU] (nov.26, 2004) "Atari Anthology" Sony PlayStation 2 [EU] (feb.18, 2005) "Atari Anthology [Model SLES-53061]" Microsoft XBOX [JP] (aug.4, 2005) "Atari Anthology [Model B7X-00001]" Microsoft XBOX 360 [XBLA] [US] [EU] (may.2, 2007) "Centipede / Millipede" Sony PlayStation 4 [US] (oct.18,2016) "Atari Flashback Classics Vol.1" Microsoft XBOX One [US] [EU] (nov.1,2016) "Atari Flashback Classics Vol.1" * Handhelds : Atari Lynx [US] [prototype only] Nintendo Game Boy [EU] (1992) "Centipede [Model DMG-CZ-FRG]" Nintendo Game Boy [US] (dec.1992) "Centipede [Model DMG-CZ-USA]" Nintendo Game Boy [US] (aug.1995) "Arcade Classic No. 2 - Centipede & Millipede [Model DMG-ACPE-USA]" Nintendo Game Boy [UK] (aug.1995) "Arcade Classic No. 2 - Centipede & Millipede [Model DMG-ACPP-UKV]" Sega Game Gear [US] (1996) "Arcade Classics" Nintendo Game Boy [US] (1998) "Centipede [Model DMG-AC4E-USA]" Nintendo Game Boy Color [US] (1998) "Centipede [Model DMG-AC5E-USA]" Nintendo Game Boy Color [EU] (nov.30, 1998) "Centipede [Model DMG-AC5P-EUR]" Nintendo Game Boy Advance [US] (mar.25, 2002) "Atari Anniversary Advance [Model AGB-AAVE-USA]" Nintendo Game Boy Advance [EU] (feb.14, 2003) "Atari Anniversary Advance [Model AGB-AAVP-EUR]" Nintendo DS [UK] (mar.11, 2005) "Retro Atari Classics [Model NTR-ATAE-UKV]" Nintendo DS [EU] (mar.11, 2005) "Retro Atari Classics [Model NTR-ATAE-EUR]" Nintendo DS [US] (mar.16, 2005) "Retro Atari Classics [Model NTR-ATAE-USA]" Nintendo DS [JP] (june.30, 2005) "Atarimix Happy 10 Games [Model NTR-ATAJ-JPN]" Nintendo Game Boy Advance [US] (aug.21, 2005) "3 Games in One!

Centipede (c) 1982 Atari, Incorporated. CENTIPEDE offers 2 game variations: EASY PLAY for beginners and children, and STANDARD PLAY for skilled players. In EASY games, you do not lose a magic wand when the flea or spider touches you, and the Centipede always starts the attack in a single formation, never with detached heads. You start the game with three magic wands. Every time you score 10,000 points, you win a bonus wand. You can have a total of 7 magic wands at one time. Any wands won after that are not held in reserve. When you lose your last magic wand, the game ends. If the Centipede, spider, or flea bites you, your wand is snatched away and you become temporarily paralyzed. The game will stop momentarily and all the mushrooms are counted for bonus points. Your points are added to your running score, and the rejuvenated Centipede attacks again from the top. You must replay the previous wave until the Centipede is totally destroyed. Objective: Use your magic wands to score as many points as possible (see scoring). Use strategy and quick thinking to avoid the paralyzing insect bites. The Enchanted Forest is a challenging, but dangerous region. By learning about the dangers that lurk behind every mushroom, you can become a skilled and heroic wand wielder. Inhabitants of the Enchanted Forest: Centipede: Consisting of nine body segments, the Centipede attacks from the top of the screen and winds down toward you. Each time you hit a segment, it becomes a powerless mushroom and the body segment behind that mushroom becomes the head of a new Centipede. When you shoot every segment of a Centipede, the Centipede disappears briefly, then reappears at the top in a new and fiercer attack formation. The Centipede attacks in 8 distinct waves. In Wave 1, the Centipede is composed of a head attached to 8 body parts. In Wave 2, it has a head attacked to 7 body parts, plus a detached head. The Wave 3 Centipede is composed of 6 body segments with 1 head attached and 2 detached heads. The Centipede continues to transform a body segment into a head until Wave 8, at which time it has 9 independently moving heads. You must eliminate the Wave 1 centipede only once. Then, until you score passes 40,000 points, you must destroy each subsequent Centipede wave twice--first as the Centipede moves slowly towards you, then as it moves fast. After you score over 40,000 points, each Centipede will only need to be destroyed once. Mushrooms: Dotting the forest floor are mushrooms. The Centipede slides along horizontally in one direction. When it touches a mushroom or the edge of the screen, it drops down to the next row of mushrooms and reverses direction. It takes 3 consecutive hits to eliminate an entire mushroom. Spider: In its attempt to distract you from shooting the Centipede, the spider jumps all over the battlefield, eliminating some of the mushrooms it touches. You score 300, 600, or 900 points when you zap the spider. The closer the spider is to your wand, the greater the score. When you hit it, the spider's score lights up on the screen. Flea: The flea start bugging you after you shoot away most of the mushrooms near you. It drops straight down, creating mushrooms as it falls. You must hit the flea twice to make it disappear. Warning: After the first shot, the flea drops twice as fast! Scorpion: Sometime after you clear 3 Centipede screens, the scorpion will scurry across the battlefield, poisoning every mushroom it touches. But if you zap the scorpion before it runs across an entire row of mushrooms, the spell of poison is broken and the mushrooms remain normal. Poisoned Mushrooms: Poisoned mushrooms are created by the scorpion. These are a deadly white color. When the Centipede bumps into a poisoned mushroom, it goes wild and plunges straight through the field of mushrooms toward you. As with normal mushrooms, you must hit a poisoned mushroom 3 times in succession to destroy it. Each time you lose a wand, poisoned mushrooms transform back into normal mushrooms. - TIPS AND TRICKS - * Shoot away mushrooms in a straight line up the screen to create a corridor. When the Centipede reaches this "gap," it will fall straight down the battlefield and can be easily picked off. * Since the flea doesn't appear until you have eliminated most of the mushrooms near you, you can set up a shield to prevent this lightning-fast pest from striking. Simply leave at least 5 mushrooms on the lower third of the screen. After you score 120,000 points, you'll need to leave 10 mushrooms. * Shoot Centipede heads to create new heads out of the body segments left behind. Since heads are worth 10 times the point value of body segments, you'll score lots of points. * Each creature makes a distinct sound. By becoming familiar with these sounds, you will know without looking, what is attacking and where it is on the screen. - PORTS - * Consoles : Tapwave Zodiac [US] (2004) "Atari Retro" Microsoft XBOX [US] (nov.16, 2004) "Atari Anthology [Model 26084]" Sony PlayStation 2 [US] (nov.22, 2004) "Atari Anthology [Model SLUS-21076]" Microsoft XBOX [JP] (aug.4, 2005) "Atari Anthology [Model B7X-00001]" Sony PlayStation 4 [US] (oct.18,2016) "Atari Flashback Classics Vol.1" Microsoft XBOX One [US] (nov.1,2016) "Atari Flashback Classics Vol.1" * Handhelds : Nintendo DS [US] (nov.2, 2010) "Atari Greatest Hits Vol.1 [Model NTR-BR6E-USA]" * Computers : PC [MS Windows, CD-ROM] [US] (nov.11, 2003) "Atari - 80 Classic Games in One!

Crystal Castles (c) 1984 Atari, Incorporated. The A-maze-ing Adventures of Bentley Bear Once upon a time, Bentley Bear was rambling through the woods, daydreaming about poached salmon. He stopped to take a nap in his favorite hollow tree trunk. But when he awoke, he found himself inside a huge castle glittering with diamonds, emeralds, and pearls. Though Bentley didn't know it at the time, he was trapped in Crystal Castles, home of Berthilda the Witch and her evil cronies. To escape their spell, he must harvest the gems in the castles before Berthilda and her malicious gang send him into permanent hibernation. - TIPS AND TRICKS - * If Bentley harvests the last gem in the castles, he wins extra points. * Elevators make perfect escape routes. However, they only operate one at a time. * Bentley is invincible while he's jumping. * Bentley can temporarily stun Nasty Trees and Gem Eaters by jumping over them. But this maneuver won't work if he's wearing the magic hat, or while the Gem Eaters are swallowing gems. * When floating scores appear on the scene, creatures can't move through them; nor can the creatures move through each other. - PORTS - * Consoles : Microsoft XBOX [US] (nov.16, 2004) "Atari Anthology [Model 26084]" Sony PlayStation 2 [US] (nov.22, 2004) "Atari Anthology [Model SLUS-21076]" Microsoft XBOX [JP] (aug.4, 2005) "Atari Anthology [Model B7X-00001]" Microsoft XBOX One [US] (nov.1,2016) "Atari Flashback Classics Vol.2" Sony PlayStation 4 [US] (nov.1,2016) "Atari Flashback Classics Vol.2" * Handhelds : Nintendo DS [US] (mar.8, 2011) "Atari Greatest Hits Vol.2 [Model NTR-BR7E-USA]" * Computers : PC [MS Windows, CD-ROM] [US] (nov.11, 2003) "Atari - 80 Classic Games in One!

Circus Atari (c) 1980 Atari, Incorporated. POP! POP! POP! Pop the balloons and score points. A wall of red, blue, and white balloons will appear at the top of the screen. You must pop balloons by catching a clown on the teeter-totter and bouncing him up to the balloons. Use the controller to move the teeter-totter across the screen to catch the clowns. Each time a clown pops a balloon, the balloon will disappear and you score points. Each player receives five clowns or turns. If you fail to catch a clown on the teeter-totter he will crash and disappear from the playfield. Press the red controller button and another clown will bounce off the trampoline from the right or left corner of the playfield. After five clowns have crashed the game is over. The clowns may land on any point of the teeter-totter except where the other clown is sitting, which causes them to crash. GAME VARIATIONS (GAMES 1 through 6 may be played by one or two players, but GAMES 7 and 8 are two-player games only.) GAME 1 is called Breakout Circus. As the clown pops balloons he rebounds from balloon to balloon both horizontally and vertically. Each time a full row of balloons is popped a new row appears and you receive bonus points. When the top row of red balloons are all popped you receive and extra clown. GAME 2 is like GAME 1, except the playfield has an additional wall of barriers added below the balloons, which makes the game more difficult. GAME 3 is called Breakthru Circus. In Breakthru Circus the clown does not rebound off the balloons. He continues to move in a horizontal direction off the balloons. This version is somewhat easier for the beginning player. Scoring is the same as GAME 1. GAME 4 is Breakthru Circus with a row of barriers added to the playfield below the balloons. GAME 5 is similar to Breakout Circus, except the balloons do not "restore" after the full row is popped. All balloons on the screen must be popped before you receive three new rows of balloons. At this time you receive 170 bonus points and an extra clown. GAME 6 is the same as GAME 5, but with the additional row of barriers added below the balloons. GAME 7 is for two players. Both players share the same wall of balloons. The computer tracks each players' score individually. GAME 8 is the same as GAME 7 but has the addition of barriers below the balloons to make the game more challenging. - PORTS - * Consoles : Microsoft XBOX [US] (nov.16, 2004) "Atari Anthology [Model 26084]" Sony PlayStation 2 [US] (nov.22, 2004) "Atari Anthology [Model SLUS-21076]" Microsoft XBOX [JP] (aug.4, 2005) "Atari Anthology [Model B7X-00001]" Sony PlayStation 4 [US] (oct.18,2016) "Atari Flashback Classics Vol.1" Microsoft XBOX One [US] (nov.1,2016) "Atari Flashback Classics Vol.1" * Handhelds : Nintendo DS [US] (mar.8, 2011) "Atari Greatest Hits Vol.2 [Model NTR-BR7E-USA]" * Computers : PC [MS Windows, CD-ROM] [US] (nov.11, 2003) "Atari - 80 Classic Games in One!
