Old-School Action Theater [S2E8]: "Aquaventure" (Atari 2600 - 2021) [NA Version]
GAMING WITH THE DESERTPUNK!Old-School Action Theater S2E8 Aquaventure [アクアベンチャー] Atari 2600 Action 2021 Atari, Inc. NA Version Normal Mode [Only Mode] {Based on an Unreleased Prototype of the same name, this game was Officially Released by Atari, Inc. in 2021} * RELATED VIDEO PLAYLISTS: -The Attract Mode Project: https://rumble.com/playlists/GWQng0_fMzs -Old-School Console Theater: https://rumble.com/playlists/NZeHms3PVHc -Standard Console Theater: https://rumble.com/playlists/UEuK9iop3Fc -Hardcore Console Theater: https://rumble.com/playlists/KdL3xxsx0lc -Old-School Action Theater: https://rumble.com/playlists/OiwarvaoOfE?e9s=src_v1_ucp_pl * GAME INFORMATION: Aquaventure is an unreleased Atari 2600 game from 1983 which was later included in various official Atari game compilations. The player controls a diver and must swim to the bottom of a underwater trench while avoiding fish to reach some sunken treasure, then swim back to the top with the loot to the mermaid waiting for them. The player only has so much time per level to do this, as their tank of air steadily depletes. If the player runs out of air, gets hit by a fish, or hits the sides of the trench, then they drown, lose a life, and start the level from the beginning if they still have lives left (if not then it's game over). The main goal, like with most games of this vintage, is to get a high score. Successfully collecting the treasure awards the most points and additional points can be acquired by shooting the fish, however doing so makes the fish move faster. As the levels go on the speed that the fish start at gets faster, and the number of screens the player must swim through to reach the bottom increases. (Source - MobyGames)1 view -
Old-School Action Theater [S2E7]: "Alligator People" (Atari 2600 - 2003) [NA Version]
GAMING WITH THE DESERTPUNK!Old-School Action Theater S2E7 Alligator People [アリア・クエスト] Atari 2600 Action 2003 Sunmark Electronics/AtariAge NA Version Left Difficulty Switch "B" (Normal) Difficulty Mode * RELATED VIDEO PLAYLISTS: -The Attract Mode Project: https://rumble.com/playlists/GWQng0_fMzs -Old-School Console Theater: https://rumble.com/playlists/NZeHms3PVHc -Standard Console Theater: https://rumble.com/playlists/UEuK9iop3Fc -Hardcore Console Theater: https://rumble.com/playlists/KdL3xxsx0lc -Old-School Action Theater: https://rumble.com/playlists/OiwarvaoOfE?e9s=src_v1_ucp_pl * GAME INFORMATION: This game is based on a 1959 20th Century Fox horror/sci-fi movie of the same name. You are Jane Marvin. Your finance and five of your friends are turning into alligators due to a failed medical experiment. You must get the alligator antidote to cure them. You, as a syringe, must move about the screen, gathering antidotes and serums. Serums supposedly increase the strength of the antidote so you need less to cure someone. You must then aim at the infected person at the top or bottom of the screen and press your button to inject them. The longer you take to get the antidote to them, the more they will mutate and the more antidote it will require to cure them. Everything is not so simple, however, as there are normal alligators in the swamp and you will lose you a life if they touch you. You can shoot to kill them and it will not cost you an antidote. Some variations have walls that move. These make it harder to see the alligators, antidotes and serums. Serums only appear in variations with walls. Some variations allow you to pass through the walls, others will make the walls solid and they can crush you if you get between two closing ones. Once you cure all six friends, it is off to the next level. (Source - MobyGames)7 views -
