Shouldn't this be at the Indy Games section?

I've only played Fate of Alantas, E.T. and I.M.

I've never played the Atari 2600 but I found this...

Programmers: Howard Scott Warshaw hid his initials in this game, too. I think you have to get the Yar to appear and then beat the game. (Credit: Kairobi King)

Wow, that is a blast from the past. I have to ask, do you have a working Atari 2600?

I was really fond of that game in my younger days! The graphics were horrible, but what can you do? I knew about the Yar, but not the initials.

By the way, if anyone is interested, you can find tons of Atari 2600s on eBay nowadays.

Also, if you don't want to fork over the cash for a 2600, you can also get an emulator. Here's a good source for a free one:

I recently played Raiders of the Lost Ark on it. Primative and pathetic by todays standards true, but pop in an old Flock of Seagulls cassette while you're playing it and you have a veritable time machine!

This game rocks! It's rather difficult at times, but it was loads of fun.... parachuting into the tree was very aggrivating if I remember correctly.... I've never beat the game though..only made it to the map room.

I wonder how the well of souls is in the game?
