Hypercross: What's a 2600?

Good one. Couple of 'em were tough.

Help!

I have about half of them - the memories all come flooding back! Spending hours with a colicky baby in the middle of the night playing Atari games!

What do you need help with?

I know nothing about Atari games. So far I've managed to come up with something for 1-9, 11, 14, 17, and 20.

Edit: I just got 22.

Is there a reason why I can't see any of the pictures? This is going to be mighty difficult if I have only the thumbnails to go by....

After 50 minutes of intense research, I've found 10 of them. I think. :( Thank heavens today's my day off; this would be impossible if I were trying to get ready for work.

If there's a single online source to look these up, that would be nice. I did not play any of these.

[5] 10 isn't a millipede

[6] they are png files. Might work if you use a different internet browser.

I need 4, 11, 14-16, 18, 21-22

[8] Thanks!

This is going to be really hard at work. Just about any page that has game info is blocked, lol!

#16 is a movie alien....look at the number of letters in the answer

The fact that I recognized all of these (except #11) says something. I'm not certain what, however...

[13] Of course!!! I paid too much attention to his color.

I still need 15, 18, and 19.

Need 15, 18 and 22 here.

[10] #4: The humanoid must not escape
#11: I found this on a google image search (on the second page) with the obvious keywords (theme, main feature in image)
#14: it is an activision game, but I can't think of good salt
#15: this was one of the first side-scrolling brawlers. I think there were 3 or 4 of them, and it was an arcade game first.
#16: see [13]
#18: the original pack-in game with the 2600
#21: If those were horses instead of ostriches that were mounted, you'd probably know it.
#22: What are those monsters doing? (different form of verb than this salt indicates)

I'm missing 1, 8 ,11, 14, 15, 18,
any or all would be a help. The earliest I go is the Apple II

For those who can't click above (reordered):

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22

(Please no one post any more .png files. :) )

[19]
#1 - the guy is dropping bombs. what sound do they make?

[19] Sent you what I have

I got all but 15 and 18

[23] Vic Morrow would have loved 18

Thanks scoutmom now its 15 only

Phew! That was painful. Thank you everyone!

I seem to have them all, but it is telling me something is wrong. Drat!

edit: NM spelling iz important!

[27] Is it #4? That one has a Z not an S in it.

Huh. With teamwork, that was actually fun!

[29] I wouldn't say that, but the salt certainly made it less painful! Thanks, all!

That was awesome, thank you Domino!!!!

What a trip down memory lane. Easy, except for one that I had to go back and look up. Heck, I had most of these games when I was little! LOL

I still need 12, 14, and 20

I'm somewhat disturbed that I managed to solve all of these without looking any of them up. I think I got half of them from the thumbnails.

[33] 14 and 20 are both from Activision, which might help you narrow things down. 12 has a word in common with 11.

I can proudly say I only have to google for one of these. Should I be proud of that? I did chuckle that for some of these, they clearly didn't look nearly that good on the 2600 :)

I also didn't know that 15 and 22 ever came out for the good ol' 2600.

[36] I think those two first made home appearances on the NES.

Edit: I just did some searching- they DID come out for the good ol' VCS. The last one was released in 1989! (several years after the NES came out)

I do know that there are a few people still making VCS games, but still....

Took me awhile to finish since I decided to drag out the 2600 and play each of the games first.

[35] Thanks!

Wow, that took a lot of research. Finally got it though. Had trouble with #14 but finally just went through an online game catalog and kept plugging in possible answers. [18] Thanks for the help!

For those coming late to the game here. And this by no means will give you answers easily, but it is a good source.

Ugh 88th...Not as bad as the board game puzzles (not even close, really), but not too enthralled...
