Halo 2600 Brings Seriously Old-School Action

[SturmDolch]

it's kinda hard only being able to shoot left and right with those... grunts that shoot mega fast in any direction...

If you push two buttons at the same time, you can shoot at angles too.

It's a fun idea. I liked the intro music, especially when I realized what it is. These sorts of pre-makes certainly make us realize how far games have come. But there's no chance I could log a few hundred hours in one of these.

So... You're telling me that that flash game was ported to an actual 2600 cartridge that will play in my system? When is the first one going up on ebay?

No, it was made as a 2600 game and then ported to flash I think.

Nope, the article says they made 500 actual cartridges. I don't want to think what obscene amount of money these will bring in on Ebay here in a month or two.

That was pretty fun. Playing that on the actual system would be a blast.

I wonder how many people who discover this will actually think that Halo first came out on the 2600?

Make a web page or facebook page claiming to have "Rediscovered the Original Halo!!!111" and watch the fanboys roll in.

[Anti-Robot Man]

What are the odds this makes it into Game Room?

 

[Digikid]

[manaman]

HOW DO YOU FIRE!??!?!?!?!?

Seriously.....

Walk up a screen grab the gun, then press spacebar.

Couldn't figure out how to shoot, was I just supposed to avoid the aliens?

I enjoyed the classic version of Left for Dead more.

 

[Aggressor and Usurper]

Is it weird that I actually enjoy this game more than I do the real Halo games?

Also, link here for those who're having problems.

Eh, not really. I mean, it was fun, but in the same way as any coordinated activity with friends is fun.

I played the singleplayer at Zaks house. URGH.

Yeah, I remember you enjoyed fucking up and shooting me in the head by mistake more.

Yeah, the single player was a bit...lacking.

INDEED.

I'd suggest we stick with Timesplitters and Borderlands.

Agreed.

I've never even played a 2600 game, and I think that's pretty awesome.

Same, it sounds quite cool!
