@LowPolyForgeZA I completed Ugh! :)

The Lost Vikings 1993
Erik, Olaf and Baleog get kidnapped by Tomator for an inter-galactic zoo. My dream was to play 3 characters at the same time with my friends. It would ruin the gameplay of this #puzzle #platformer, but as a child it never occurred to me.

@LowPolyForgeZA The game was made for many platforms. I also played the DOS version.

@link_dima I often ask myself the same question :)

[Alex Zuev @ZuevAlex52]

You can connect 4 paddles to the #atari2600. In those days when we still had friends, a chance to play with three of them simultaneously was priceless.
And Warlords 1981 provided a unique opportunity to kick 3 of your friends' asses... simultaneously.

@Brad_fangled I'm, just feel a little bit introverted. But thanks for asking :)

@dadswgpads Walkthrough may take some serious time for sure.

[Alex Zuev @ZuevAlex52]

The Lion King (1994) published by Virgin Interactive in the same year as Aladdin. The #game is very similar in terms of control, style, and music. However, there's one big difference. Very few people reached the levels where Simba grew up

@Docta_Moe Yeap, the game was extremely hard for me.

@Alp317 I think that "rash of plagiarism" was a good sign, if your work starts to be copied - it's a success!

Pitfall! (1982)
One of the best-selling #games on the #Atari 2600, with over 4 mil copies sold. The game might look primitive by modern standards but it has hundreds of screens with traps, enemies. And all code and data fits in 4kb.

@andrejkvasnica This is a nice move!

[Alex Zuev @ZuevAlex52]

River Raid (1982) is one of the coolest #games I had on my #Atari. The game has been noted for the great level design. And a little tip. To get more points it's safe to shoot all the fuel tanks before the first bridge, at least.

@Tomi_Tapio Oh, this must be a cool book. I'm afraid there will be problems finding some ingredients.

[Alex Zuev @ZuevAlex52]

@OriginalXOR @MJLambert_ @OakalyDokaly @C64Retweets 🤣 I don't know why I just didn't double check it on Wikipedia.

[Alex Zuev @ZuevAlex52]

OK @MJLambert_ @OakalyDokaly and probably another 6529 people with memory better then mine, mentioned that Micro Machines wasn't the first racing game by Codemasters. My bad!
Grand Prix Simulator 1987 was! 14 tracks to #race single or coop vs comp

@Crissytina22 Hi :)

[Alex Zuev @ZuevAlex52]

@IsDaouda_Games They totally have the same vibe!

[Alex Zuev @ZuevAlex52]

Codemasters is one of the oldest British #game studios. After Sony ran out of license for the official #FormulaOne games, Codemasters picked it up and made the popular #F1 series releasing a new game every year. But I will remember their first #racing game Micro Machines (1991)

[Alex Zuev @ZuevAlex52]

@OakalyDokaly Probably I didn't play them. Which ones?

[Alex Zuev @ZuevAlex52]

One of the few long games I completed as a child. For the resolution of 320x200 and #8bit color #PixelArt was perfect. Artists assembled a palette of 256 colors from several key colors and brown-beige tones to convey the atmosphere of the Stone Age.

Speaking of Boulder Dash, my favorite clone is Supaplex. I like the graphic theme with #diskettes, electrons and microchips. The most amazing thing for me was how the developers managed to make so many of such difficult levels.
