You have found an unfinished Atari 2600 Cartridge that seems to contain a glitchy cloned version of the classic Atari game, Adventure. There are rumors that the cartridge has been linked to the disappearance of several children, but still you can’t help but plug it in and play…
IDK man, I don’t think that this is an Atari cartridge. Unless the creator of the game used the power of a demon to give the game a lot more storage space.
It's pretty cool that it seems to be based on Adventure, the Atari 2600 game that's considered to be the first ever action adventure game and contained the world's first easter egg (and it also played an important part in Ready Player One).
This is pretty epic, and the cracked CRT screen was a nice touch from the developer. I really like ingenious horror games like this, as they really break from the tropes of the genre, and try to make something new, in a similar vein to games like pony island for example!
i really liked the mechanic of showing player injury by using damage to the screen, although the game almost feels closer to Berzerk than Adventure with how chaotic it gets
Similar to old video games such as haunting ground too! Kinda unfortunate that this feature is rarely used anymore, while the fact that it could even match most games' atmosphere
when horror games are just like "let's start at 200% and never let up even once" it's very.... overwhelming. Its hard to get engrossed especially when nothing feels connected thematically or otherwise. I do like these aesthetics (Faith chapter 3 coming soon babey) cause it challenges what you can do and for the most part I think the art style succeeds here even if it's drowned out in just how much there is to take in. When the fracture showed up on screen I was actually impressed but then it shifted place and I was like "Welp that's an oversight" which was a shame. Also they showed up in a totally different style later which was jarring (I do like the idea for the final boss a lot but the actual execution could be done better). Guitar man is my favourite though, a nice respite in these trying times our square friend faces. Overall fun but noisy!
The fracture on the screen doesn't normally move when you play the game, it's just that I had to edit together multiple playthroughs - it's a rogue like so it's quite hard to get everything in one playthrough.
Man, I remember playing Adventure TONS when I was little(I'm only 16, my family just so happens to own an Atari) and I never did find every secret, but this stirs up some fond memories.
Makes me think of creepypastas, a Backrooms level where everything is in early 80’s video game graphics, or something similar. I was obsessed with Adventure for the 2600 (I never played the later versions on newer consoles), so this was enjoyable. Especially the cracked screen and then the black screen.
I owned one and played on it almost daily from around ‘82 to ‘84. Adventure was my favorite and I still search the Internet for parodies, adaptations, and interesting merch.
It’s like that sound phenomenon where there’s a frequency of sound that only young people can hear so it bothers them, but older folks don’t hear it as well. People blast the frequencies outside of their stores to keep teens from loitering.
Oh man, i'm so glad I was able to find something to say about this game. 6:18 -- It's time for you to SAWK ME AWFFF! *grabs you while having a devious smile on its face*
