Bookmark or Share- AtariAge - Have You Played Atari Today?All patches have the name Activision atop (or otherwise set off) on the patch save for those where the name is listed and the higher level patches for Laser Blast and Starmaster. This table only includes the 2600 Activision patches - patches were also made for the 5200, Intellivision, and Colecovision.
- Activision versus Atari - Atari 2600 - AtariAge ForumsBoth Atari and Activision made some amazing games for the 2600, and both produced some stinkers. But, the great games vastly outweigh the stinkers. Some of my favorite Atari 2600 games are Asteroids, Centipede, Berzerk, River Raid and Pitfall. In fact, I need to get cartridges of both River Raid and Pitfall.
- So is there a chance? (Activision retro etc.) - AtariAge ForumsThere is always a chance, but it will probably be IF Activision rereleased their classics on multiplatform and included the Atari VCS. The Atari Vault and Vault 2 are nice, but definitely missing third party hits. There are ways though of adding your favorite games to the VCS going the PC mode route.
- List of Activision Patches? - Atari 2600 - AtariAge ForumsHowever, for some reason, Activision mostly mailed out the version that was meant for the Intellivision. It could be that they didn't produce enough of the 2600 version, or they over-produced the Intellivision version. This 2600 half-moon Beamrider is probably the rarest 2600 Activision patch that it is actually feasible to acquire (for a price).
- PICS of Activision promotional items - AtariAge ForumsThe Activision employee kept everything in immaculate shape. But yeah, everything is from 1981-1983. She was explaining to me how, when Activision would release a game, the company would give every employee a copy of the game, along with whatever promotional item(s) was associated with it.
