    Is that so? You're not the only one who sends in submissions.

    Hint: To anyone else that wants to participate, you will likely have a better chance of winning if you send in your submission over Ryan. :P

    Photo Friday -- Atari 2600 Cartridge Covers

    Name that Atari 2600 game with the cover provided. Perhaps this will be worthy of Scott Rubin of GeekNights since he likes challenging trivia. Perhaps I may even see a submission from him.

    Wait wait wait wait wait wait wait. Ro, did you use my email as the posted answer bank?
  • RochelleRochelle
    Yes, I did. I forgot to send myself the answers on an email to paste them here. ^_~

    So that's the only props I will give you. :P Thank you.
  • MattMatt
    This is definitely challenging trivia! I'm 27 and am probably too young for this one. Can only name 6 or 7. The 80s sci-fi art is awesome to look at though.
  • AprecheApreche
    I think #23 is a trick.
  • RochelleRochelle
    Nope. It's just not the American release of the game. ( *｀ω´)

    Well, that's what Jason said since he's the one that did it. I was lazy this week and this was has been in the vault for such an occasion.
  • AprecheApreche
    Nope. It's just not the American release of the game. ( *｀ω´)
    That's still bullshit. How am I supposed to know if it's the original or the sequel? Random guessing?

    Hard, but fair, like Super Meat Boy. Not hard and broken, like Jekyll and Hyde for NES.
  • JasonJason
    It's not a foreign release; it's a variant cover. Most of the high-selling Atari games had the artwork you love and then some variants. A lot of them are variants because of the licensing for cross-platform releases, such as Coleco. I figured the variant on No. 23 would be fairly easy.

    I don't know how I feel about this.

    It is very easy, but because the game has a sequel, there is no way to know which one it is.
  • JasonJason
    Sucks to be you.
  • RochelleRochelle
    Man, spoiler tag your shit. That's no an official submission. Don't you want to try to win? :P
