Here is an awesome music video by a band that recently featured the them playing Asteroids on an ATARI 2600 in their video at the end of it. It's very 80's and kind of creepy!
There will be a new version on this on PSN/XBLA coming this month! Definitely going to buy that! And if we're lucky, this version will be hidden in there. :)
I also wish someone would tell me how the remakes even make this game playable without paddles. On 2600, you can go in an instant from the very left to the corner of your walls, or all the way to the right in the same instant. With an analogue stick on an Xbox, I can't see how you can control it.
Why does nobody complain about the controls for this game? On the bottom two it's fine: Clockwise paddle rotation invokes clockwise player rotation. But on the top it's inverted. That's so annoying and unintuitive. I'm hoping any remakes of this will have the option to set which way the rotation goes.
@dapithapon I was thinking this was going to be like some kind of RPG or something. This is more like the wall breaking game with the paddle and the ball, where you break free power ups and stuff.
"Lords of Lunar" was proof-of-concept that a Warlords-style game could be done without paddle controllers--you don't move the paddle with the stick, you AIM it. It was REALLY customizable, too. I still bring out the Making Of disc sometimes just so I can hit Up Down Left Right Triangle Start and play it again.
I haven't gotten around to checking this game out until now even though I've had it for a while when I got a huge stack of Atari games. I love this game. The first time I played it after watching this review and realizing that I actually had it I played it for hours. I couldn't stop playing. I'll have to get another set of paddles so 4 people can play.
At a recent hotel event, me and friends were playing a 'flashback' device that had this and a few other Atari games upon it. We all agreed that Warlords was an awesome classic party game. Sadly, that imitation device used joysticks...and only two. And, now that I see your review, the 'imitator' was a watered down version. For, it never moved the ball that quickly and made the game feel just a bit dull.
I shall be e-bay'ing for this game and two sets of paddles.
You're absolutely right that paddle and trackball controllers need to make a comeback. Trying to play this with a joystick immediately takes most of the fun away.
What appears to be missing with the home version is one key feature that the arcade has: when the fireball is captured, it starts burning the castle walls behind it, thus presenting a penalty for holding it for long. I have the arcade cocktail version which is great for parties. The 2600 version is almost just as good though!
For those who enjoy "Warlords", I suggest "Medieval Mayhem" for the 2600 , its a newly released improved version of "Warlords" , its more true to the original arcade version :)
its got a nice menu system that allows you to set AI players difficulty , slightly improved graphics , multiple balls on-screen ... its just like "Warlords" , except more intense :D
I use to love this game when I was little! I use to practice all the time and was a game I could beat all my friends with. Never played it in the arcade.
I used to play this with my family. We had four paddle controllers, and this enabled us to play our favorite version: ricochet with "lightning bolt". Every so often we would play with the "fireball" version or with the "catch" option, but the ricochet w/lightning bolt kept us laughing and shouting. The "catching" option often led to ganging up on someone.
Anyway, thanks...you brought back some good memories.
We gave away our Atari years ago and never bothered with other TV video games.
Putting the controller connector on the BACK of the Atari was a mistake. After awhile I quit playing paddle games simply because I was tired of switching back-and-forth between joystick and paddle.
If they would have put the connector on the front, as they did with the 7800, it would have been much easier to use.
It was early days, I suppose: that lesson is well and truly learnt now. What kind of fool would make a system like that today? Back then things were untested, unknown and mysterious.
I remember getting an Atari collection for the original Playstation with Warlords on it. The analog stick worked pretty well in lieu of the paddle controller.
I've never played this one, but I do remember the paddle controllers fondly. I remember the first time my dad brought home an Atari 2600 with two paddle controllers, two joysticks; and a shoebox full of games.. that was back in the mid 80's when I was like 4 or 5 years old.
For me, the best part about the 2600 was that games were dirt cheap... (this was after the 'video game crash'). You could go into a department store and get 2 games for less than $10 from a discount bin.
Too bad i dont have 3 buddies constantly available to me so i can play games like this on multiplayer, because it must be very boring to play this alone, :S.
granted the audio is higher quality. i didnt mean it in offence it just seems like a pretty weird thing to advertise your videos in HD so much when its just the audio and size that changes
The video looks clearer. You want to watch footage (except if your net speed is low) with pixels the size of king kong? That's exactly why people mod their retro consoles with component outputs. The colors look better, the graphics look more clear. It's just more enjoyable to look at.
I have not owned a Atari, although, I've played on a Coeclovision (sp?) before. I've always been a Nintendo junkie, unfortunately. I love things like Breakout, and things.
Graphics do not make a game - I can usually be found playing old games on the DS courtesy of a emulator.
Dude common.. Atari is 2 buttons and like 2 bits of graphics. Mine as well start reviewing tic tac toe and paper rock scissors. It's simplicity is beyond belief.. Even for it's time. But you seem to review Atari 2600 reviews more then anything.. Common where are the 8 bit+ reviews at?
Atari 2600 had one button and was 8 bits. Based on the 86 5 star ratings in the hour or so it's been up, I'd say you're in the minority. Besides, he just finished reviewing a few Sega games as well as WII games, and there are hundreds of people on YouTube and elsewhere reviewing Sega/NES/etc. It's not like there is this shortage of reviews of post-Atari 2600 games.
and there are improved versions of games like this all over the internet.. so there is no point of even mentioning these anymore
I am pretty sure nobody agrees with me on this.. But yeah this is what I think and I am surprised I am the only person that isn't completely amazed and baffled by this system.
Wow, just when I thought human stupity couldn't get any lower you have proved me wrong. By bashing a 20+ year old gaming system cause it takes place on a single screen, what games doesn't. The sound effects hurt your ears, there's a mute button, or can you not find it. And since when did a joy stick count as a button? You sound like a 12 year old kid who's only gaming experience is on the PS3/360.
You clearly know nothing about a video game.Atari is the defintition of a video game. not your good old ps2 xbox 360 ps3 bullshit.Those arent shit compared to that atari.Your obviously one of those 11 year old kids who grew up playing ps2 and ps3.Before you bash on a classic masterpiece make sure you know what the definiton of it is. Bye have fun with ur 360 ill be playing berserk on my 2600
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
You don't know me. I am 19 years old and have been playing video games since 1994. My first game was Donkey Kong Country. It has graphics, sound, replay value, and an actual controller. Atari has none of that. I enjoy retro games.. But this isn't even a game. It's sticks, blocks, and balls. Atari had a video game crash for a reason: It was a TREND. Without nintendo video games are nothing. Atari is not a classic master piece and xbox 360s/ps3s are literally a million times more powerful
19 years old that explains everything.When will you kids learn that Graphics, power, and sound dont make the game good....All you basically did was prove that fact that ur an idiot. 360 and ps3 are better because their powerful lol?? Atari has tons of reply value.Pitfall 2 is a prime example or berserk.YOur saying that the classic atari joystick isnt a controlleR? then how can you play that game if its not a controller common sense.nuff said..you dont know the proper traits that make atari good.
Ahh, don't use his age as the reason! I'm 19 and I grew up with the SNES as my first system, but I've got a deep appreciation for these really old games and I actively play them still to this day.
Yeah, your right. Atari has tons of replay value. You can play it with your friends in your dads basement for 5 minutes on a black and white Tv! While The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion only takes 100+ hours to fully complete.
bah, you clearly understand nothing. Back then people were using their imagination, and now they play these "hi-tech" video game systems where the only thing that is working are your fingers, and you brain is slowly going into a coma.
Black and white TV? If I remembered correctly Tv's were in color is the late 70s-mid 80s.And if you ask me a black and white Tv is the traditional way to play atari.Who would play an atari on a 52 inch flat screen TV? .If you were only gonna play a console for 5 minutes then what would be that point of playing it at all? thank you for that unlike your Oblivion you can pop an atari game right in and play it for 5 minutes before you leave for work or something.Unlike oblivion.
TO shadow1854 (AKA the "19" year old kid, who thinks Atari is "retawded"):
The videogame crash occured of a lot of reasons. Mainly because of other companies releasing games for the 2600 without their permision, that and over 10 different consoles simply flooded the market. I think you are the idiot, my friend, if you think Atari is shit.
Atari rocks, although the lack of permission did give birth to Activision. Plus a lot of other great games came out of it... Amongst the sea of crap. What could of made it work was infostructure, reviews (other than Atari Age) and better BBSs. Also I think if TV shows about how to beat video games were a little more disciminating... They actually showed you how to beat ET... Come on. It maybe better than Sword Quest, but ugh. Terriable.
In 1979? Uh, sorry but they did not exist yet. Oh well.. Atari's mistreatment of its employees led to spinoff companies like Activision and Amiga. Where would we be if Jay Miner had not quit Atari and created the Commodore Amiga with 4000-color graphics in 1985? That would be tragic.
Actually they were born February 16, 1978. They became popular amongst gamers/techy people in 1982 and by 1990 the various systems were connected through this mysterious thing we call the Internet.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
no. I would laugh at everyone that plays it and play basketball or something.. Then Super Mario Bros would come out and then I would be amazed and baffled. I will never understand these "games" and will always laugh at them and all the atari fan boys that say its better then ps3s and 360s
I love this game. No shit I played this for a while with my 6 year old niece. How awesome is that?
Only thing I don't like is that green sucks in a 2 player or 1 player game. He always loses. BTW Mark, you know you can set it to not stick to paddles if you mess with difficulty switches. Makes it much more challenging, esp. 4 player.
There is a 360 Warlords, but the controls are terrible. The DS version on Atari Retro Classics was great, just sucks it's multicart.
Atari Age has a great homebrew game of Warlords called Medieval Mayhem. It's pretty much arcade perfect Warlords with extras. They even ramp up the difficulty by adding more fireballs on the screen and it gets really crazy.
If you love Warlords you owe it to yourself to check it out, it's a really well made game and worth the money.
ooh I played this!! I read in the enclosed instruction book that the ghosts of the defeated player's goal thingies haunted the battlefield...you can see them when the screen flashes white.
This game really is an excellent party game. However, I've had some cases where people drink too much and start beating people up in the living room while playing this game :)
On the plug and play tv games Atari 2600 paddle version warlords is on it and pong and some other games I got it for $15, its kinda like me having a mini Atari 2600 ^^
got this on atari flashback i want to play with a friend but the ships dont come up on the screen and it gets all blinky is it the tv im playing it on its just a lcd tv

the sound effects give me head aches
and there are improved versions of games like this all over the internet.. so there is no point of even mentioning these anymore
I am pretty sure nobody agrees with me on this.. But yeah this is what I think and I am surprised I am the only person that isn't completely amazed and baffled by this system.

Wow, just when I thought human stupity couldn't get any lower you have proved me wrong. By bashing a 20+ year old gaming system cause it takes place on a single screen, what games doesn't. The sound effects hurt your ears, there's a mute button, or can you not find it. And since when did a joy stick count as a button? You sound like a 12 year old kid who's only gaming experience is on the PS3/360.

You clearly know nothing about a video game.Atari is the defintition of a video game. not your good old ps2 xbox 360 ps3 bullshit.Those arent shit compared to that atari.Your obviously one of those 11 year old kids who grew up playing ps2 and ps3.Before you bash on a classic masterpiece make sure you know what the definiton of it is. Bye have fun with ur 360 ill be playing berserk on my 2600

You don't know me. I am 19 years old and have been playing video games since 1994. My first game was Donkey Kong Country. It has graphics, sound, replay value, and an actual controller. Atari has none of that. I enjoy retro games.. But this isn't even a game. It's sticks, blocks, and balls. Atari had a video game crash for a reason: It was a TREND. Without nintendo video games are nothing. Atari is not a classic master piece and xbox 360s/ps3s are literally a million times more powerful
shadow1854 2 years ago
19 years old that explains everything.When will you kids learn that Graphics, power, and sound dont make the game good....All you basically did was prove that fact that ur an idiot. 360 and ps3 are better because their powerful lol?? Atari has tons of reply value.Pitfall 2 is a prime example or berserk.YOur saying that the classic atari joystick isnt a controlleR? then how can you play that game if its not a controller common sense.nuff said..you dont know the proper traits that make atari good.

Ahh, don't use his age as the reason! I'm 19 and I grew up with the SNES as my first system, but I've got a deep appreciation for these really old games and I actively play them still to this day.

Yeah, your right. Atari has tons of replay value. You can play it with your friends in your dads basement for 5 minutes on a black and white Tv! While The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion only takes 100+ hours to fully complete.
shadow1854 2 years ago
bah, you clearly understand nothing. Back then people were using their imagination, and now they play these "hi-tech" video game systems where the only thing that is working are your fingers, and you brain is slowly going into a coma.
vuksa1234321 2 years ago
Black and white TV? If I remembered correctly Tv's were in color is the late 70s-mid 80s.And if you ask me a black and white Tv is the traditional way to play atari.Who would play an atari on a 52 inch flat screen TV? .If you were only gonna play a console for 5 minutes then what would be that point of playing it at all? thank you for that unlike your Oblivion you can pop an atari game right in and play it for 5 minutes before you leave for work or something.Unlike oblivion.

Im an Atari fanboy? And that explains why I own a Sega Dreamcast and a xbox 360 rofl. Fail much?
amari2001 2 years ago
TO shadow1854 (AKA the "19" year old kid, who thinks Atari is "retawded"):
The videogame crash occured of a lot of reasons. Mainly because of other companies releasing games for the 2600 without their permision, that and over 10 different consoles simply flooded the market. I think you are the idiot, my friend, if you think Atari is shit.

Atari rocks, although the lack of permission did give birth to Activision. Plus a lot of other great games came out of it... Amongst the sea of crap. What could of made it work was infostructure, reviews (other than Atari Age) and better BBSs. Also I think if TV shows about how to beat video games were a little more disciminating... They actually showed you how to beat ET... Come on. It maybe better than Sword Quest, but ugh. Terriable.
RunandGunPictures 2 years ago
>>>BBSs.
In 1979? Uh, sorry but they did not exist yet. Oh well.. Atari's mistreatment of its employees led to spinoff companies like Activision and Amiga. Where would we be if Jay Miner had not quit Atari and created the Commodore Amiga with 4000-color graphics in 1985? That would be tragic.

Actually they were born February 16, 1978. They became popular amongst gamers/techy people in 1982 and by 1990 the various systems were connected through this mysterious thing we call the Internet.

no. I would laugh at everyone that plays it and play basketball or something.. Then Super Mario Bros would come out and then I would be amazed and baffled. I will never understand these "games" and will always laugh at them and all the atari fan boys that say its better then ps3s and 360s

I love this game. No shit I played this for a while with my 6 year old niece. How awesome is that?
Only thing I don't like is that green sucks in a 2 player or 1 player game. He always loses. BTW Mark, you know you can set it to not stick to paddles if you mess with difficulty switches. Makes it much more challenging, esp. 4 player.

You should review a Nintendo DS Space Invaders (or was it some other game?) game where a paddle plugs into the GBA port.

There is a 360 Warlords, but the controls are terrible. The DS version on Atari Retro Classics was great, just sucks it's multicart.
Atari Age has a great homebrew game of Warlords called Medieval Mayhem. It's pretty much arcade perfect Warlords with extras. They even ramp up the difficulty by adding more fireballs on the screen and it gets really crazy.
If you love Warlords you owe it to yourself to check it out, it's a really well made game and worth the money.
