Timber looks pretty good. 83-4 was the time I started going to arcades as a small kid.
Pretty close to my years as well.
Just that score counter alone shows how much they really did not care about what they did. The score decreases every frame, which is jarring and useless. The score starting at 5000 is 100 seconds. The 2600 doesn’t have a divide instruction, so what you could do is store a 100 second timer, seven bytes of memory. And a frame counter, two bytes. Increase the frame counter every frame. When the frame counter is 50, reset to 0 and decrease the score timer by one. It would not take long to program even in the early 80s.
I’ve seen a bunch of hot 2600 garbage but wow, just that score timer alone is astonishing.
Interesting video, and interesting game! This is the first I've heard of this one. Will have to look into it.
I know the song as
Los pollitos dicen pio pio pio.
That does sound like it.
Sounds a lot like a way off-key version of "Baa, Baa, Black Sheep".
Could very well be. Anyone else have any other candidates?
@@ReviewAtari2600 it's that, they added 2 or 3 notes.
What on earth is that music?
Sancho's games are PAL ?
Yes, that is correct.
Never heard of it!
Mission accomplished! :) I like to review for everyone rarely known or heard of games! :)
I read all the time that Atari has a coin. Who can tell me more about it?
Not the greatest game ever made for the 2600, but I've certainly seen much worse (especially when everyone and their mother was churning out anything they could put together in a short amount of time back then: no quality control!)
Agreed... not nearly as bad as others I've seen... like from Mysticon or Froggo.
@@ReviewAtari2600 Even _E.T._ is not as bad as people say. Limited? Sure. Frustrating? Oh yeah. But considering Howard Scott Warshaw only had 5 weeks to put something together for the Christmas holiday season - all by himself - I say we cut him some slack. And since he also programmed one of the very best games on the 2600 - _Yar's Revenge_ - we definitely know he is capable of excellence.
