¡¡oh my god!!,the wonder years(not the serie)i missing,the days when playing my atari 2600,in house of my parents.thanks,for the video.the good games...never dies!!!. :D
Holy crap! This was the VERY first video game I ever played in my life. (I was about 4 or 5 at the time.) It's cool to see someone do a decent piece on it.
Fun Fact: The background music for Moon Patrol was later updated to 16 bit form and reused as the menu music in Mario Lemieux Hockey for the Sega Genesis, albeit slightly altered in tempo, rythmn, and a few bars at the end of the loop that got messed with.
Fun Fact: I shouldn't remember any of this and should use my grey matter for something useful instead... but I do, and I can't.
I had a 2600 once and I've just realized that I always wanted the wrong games back then. Now I see more and more games that were actually pretty good for this old machine. Damn! Try "Tunnel Runner", "Robot Tank" or "Dumbo's Flying Circus" for instance. After "Doom 3" and all this modern stuff I enjoy these ancient games still a lot...
I think the Moon Patrol-mobile kind of looks like a Delorian from 'Back to the Future.' Only it has little moon legs and walks around. I'm thinking of building a fan fiction epic around this very concept. Thank you for putting this video together to promote my new (online) novel, "Marty McFly's Moon Patrol meets the Hentai Henna Furry Saiyan in 3D!!!"
The music is not the thing I remember most about that game at all. I remember the car being able to shoot both up and to the side and the fact that you are on the moon. And those stupid fucking craters that I would always blow up in! I think the music is one of the last things I remember about this title. But either way cool video. Your emulator recording are always nice and clear.
Why doesn't these videos have more views? They're awesome game reviews and i actually prefer them to reviewers such as IrateGamer and AVGN.

the sound the rocks make when you blow them up is wrong. video quality? crappy emulator?
TheCheezWizz 3 years ago
No it isn't. That's exactly the way it sounds in the Atari 2600 version. Maybe you're thinking of a different version?
