Good Luck Charlie Brown Atari 2600 Prototype

[EastCoastDude99]

I like Snoopy and the Red Barron for the 2600. Use to play that for hours at a time until my thumb blistered up.

[Mae77]

The guy who owns the cartridge is obviously not interesed in the dump. What a shame a jewel of videogame history will be lost forever.

[slopwith]

@Mae77 No, the game has been dumped and is absolutely safe. A limited run of repro carts is going to be sold by the owner in the near future. I think you can find more details on the AtariAge forums.

[sabzbear]

who else typed in good luck charlie as in the episode???

[solitarionotturno]

some questions for slopwoith

1) where did u get this video ? sometimes i think is a fake.

2) do u have the cartbridge ? or do u know the owner ?

3) why the owner doesn't dump the game ?

thanks

[slopwith]

1. Bought it about 15 yers ago at a flea market in Wisconsin.

2. No. I sold it.

3. The game has been dumped and is going to be released by the current owner.

[solitarionotturno]

@slopwith how do u know it is going to be released?

[slopwith]

@solitarionotturno It was announced on AtariAge.com. Go to the AtariAge.com forums and search for the thread titled "INTEREST CHECK: Atari 2600 NTSC Good Luck Charlie Brown Limited Edition"

[solitarionotturno]

@solitarionotturno Sometimes I follow atariage. I didn't know abou this last news. Thanks. Bye

[artistasolvidadas]

still can't dump the game?

[slopwith]

@artistasolvidadas It's been dumped. Look for more info on AtariAge about what is happening with the cart and what the current owner's plans are.

[yaywhewclips242]

the dreaded kite-eating-tree!! SO cute!!

[BadIdeaSociety]

I have read information identifying this game as "Charlie Brown v. The Kite-Eating Tree."

[slopwith]

@BadIdeaSociety I have read information identifying this game as "Fly a Kite Chuck Brown."

[triumphrocker76]

He flies a kite as well as he kicks a football. Always lands on his head.

[yoshtin1013]

i had a dream last nite where i was playing a Charlie brown game it starts with chuck in his house and Lucy asks for some place kicks and theres a moving X with an O around it and you gotta wait till it touches the football but if you miss Lucy pulls it away. and there was a variety of other games like baseball in the dream it was pretty weird.

[Jtother777]

you can get a cart copier for about 100 bucks and the black carts for dirt cheap, if i had this i would totally start selling illegal copies on ebay!

[AVGN97]

i want this game.

[Stormstallion]

I like how Charlie Brown gets hung upside down when his kite gets caught in one of the kite-eating trees. That's a nice little touch.

[solitarionotturno]

I hope sooner the owner can release the dump of this cartbridge.

[fgfan19]

I read the description, I actully have that poster that mentions this game and a few other unrelesed games. By the picture of the video this looks like it was filmed off of a TV set so are you did you find this game at that flea market?

[mikeferr107]

This is pretty funny. It looks very 'Activision'.

[bogart266]

Everything eventually ends up in wisconsin, everything.

[sfcplanet]

Nice graphics for a 2600, I wonder where you all guys get those forgotten cartridges; thanks for the upload

[dryeraser123]

the objective looks like not to get it stuck in the tree

[stredum123]

What a game.

[crazynintendoguy]

This game looks better than Halo 3:D

[crazynintendoguy]

I'm just playing jokes with you Xbox fanboy who's a 12 year old:P

[RossIrving]

crazynintendoguy,

Your sarcasm detector is broken.

[Cubivore10]

This looks prety fun actually. I bet this game wouldn't be too hard to make a home brew game of. Too hard for me, but I bet somebody could.

[solitarionotturno]

if the video is real ... where is the rom ?

someone has the cartbridge surely.

when will he dump it ?

[spani20]

cool!

[MasterJediDude]

I remember seeing this listed in a Christmas catalog a loooooooong time ago.

[ItigerGX]

best physics in any 2600 game!

[Batou667]

Actually, yeah. that looks halfway respectable. Well I never!

[x8GT8x]

i like how hes upsidedown when u lose

[Quadunit404]

And the point is...?

Now that video game standards have changed, from actually BEATING the game (Super Mario Bros, 1985, and all other games following it) rather than getting a high score. Atari 2600 games were focused on getting a high score, and due to our new standards, A2600 games are horrid to us today.

[QuantumCrayons]

Quite possibly. But games such as SMB1/2/3 and MegaMan stilk had points systems, showing that people wanted to compare [note that modern games still have stats e.g. shots fired, accuracy & that the xBox 360 gaming community is centred around GamerScore= Points].

[GOTHMIDNIGHTMERMAID]

Charlie Brown! don't let the kite eating tree get your kite! :) :)

[Jabjabs]

I love the dodgy clouds that don't know which side of the screen they want to be on, that said I suppose to an Atari coder that was normal maybe? ;)

[therealrebelxd]

Yeah, they had some pretty lame games back then as well. I guess the more things change, the more they stay the same. The only difference is, that back then i probably would have played that...And liked it.

[heine71]

If only there was a Charlie Brown Kite video game for PS3, X-Box 360, Nintendo DS, and/or Wii. There's a Snoopy and the Red Baron PS2/X-Box game currently.

[Surya735]

The game kind of old

[Msdos4]

This would of been so good if it was finished

[Schush]

What? This game is crap! No wonder why it never made it pass the protype stage; and what the hell is the object here?

[evebryant23]

isnt it obvious that your kite is to avoid the objects in the sky like that arrow and birds while flyin as long as possible?

[bigboi2929]

JUNK. NO SOUND.

[TheCheezWizz]

you expect sound from a game that was barely into development?

[Fuji086]

@bigboi2929 Prototype dipshit.

[Gamebrain]

Video game prototypes. I wish I had some. Although, I do have a few ps1 betas and protos.

[Stafy]

Darn kite eating trees. Perhaps they proved too dire a foe for the general population.

[leslielove]

wow wait to cge 2007 come back to vegas youy see some nice prototpye games

[dolefactory]

Amazing! That's crazy when he flips upside down. Steady as she goes, Chuck!

[GOTHMIDNIGHTMERMAID]

Oh good grief... :) Charlie Brown humor.
