Atari - Keystone Kapers

[Imgema]

This was my favorite Atari 2600 game. It's more colorful than most games of the machine (look at all those multi colored sprites moving at one time) and the screen looks busy, with a lot of stuff to see. Even the sprite that you control is painstakingly detailed, has 3 colors and you can clearly see buttons on his uniform and a little stick that he holds. It was a simple game to understand, with tight controls and pretty addictive gameplay for Atari 2600 standards.

[omniazzz1]

3:41 LMAO!!!  He lost the elevator! I had tons of fun playing this game 20 years ago. Nowadays I have a PS3 but I don't think I gonna miss The Force Unleashed, InFAMOUS or God of Wars 20 years later as I missed Keystone now :)

[garymiller1121]

Guys i just hooked my 2600 up, and only some of the games run, keystone kapers it loads up, but it just hangs i can't get it to start, i know my joysticks fine as i've used it on other games, any idea what it could be?!

[alsuhimy]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

hahahahahahahahahahi

[spacem00se]

I played it on 800XL, totally badass game

[SheilinhaProcopio]

Adoro esse jogo !!!

[cdleeman]

So gratifying when you'd catch the dude at the end! I also love the way he subtly slips into the elevator lol.

[needawank]

I remember this - brings back memories, we had it on the Atari XE.

[SkyfireTheFox]

You lost a life if that villain (Harry Hooligan) made it off the right edge of the roof - so where did he go from there?

[mystereojones]

I can't believe that I still have my Atari 2600, the joysticks and all of my games which includes Keystone Kapers. I really liked the Activision games from that time.

BTW, I really love how the player can't position himself to enter the elevator at 3:44. That was such a challenge.

[TheAntih]

oh god i remember playing this game so many years ago <3

[mlc2005]

This was my FAVORITE game 25 years ago!!! LOve it :)

[sugaryourmind]

[craigt1981]

[joaovictor1994]

Nigga please, you can't say this is NOT awesome. This is DA SHIT!! And I'm not being sarcastic, I'm 16 but I love oldschool games :D

[kbrinks]

I played the HELL outta this game as a kid.

[marzli]

ich weiss noch, wie ich das game für mein hart erspartes geld beim lokalen spielzeugladen gekauft habe. es war echt genial die unmengen an atari games durchzuwühlen :)

war aber ein vergleichweise tolles game fürs vcs

[runningonreserve]

god.... i remember i always used to jump right before catching the perp too...

[porcorosso81]

A complete and fun game in 4096 bytes...

[EastCoastDude99]

I played this game for hours at a time when I was a kid and used to hear the running noise in my sleep. Atari 4 life!

[danfons29]

Activision was very creative. They ruled Atari games

[MrTransfield]

LOL the player got a bit frustrated when the missed the elevator at 3:43!!

[ShadowTheDarkBR]

I played this on my cousin Atari

[LudicrousScotty101]

Atari rules

[TRWolf]

I remember playing this when I was a little boy! The chock-chock noise of the running cop is pure nostalgia for me!

[BlitzkriegBR]

Does this game have an ending? I have played it using an emulator (saving states) for a lot of time and it doesn't seem to have one.

The difficulty level wasn't being increased anymore.

[Kakaloo92]

I still have it on my atari :P Shit gonna turn off now pc and go play that game...

[julionica]

3:39 This used to happened to me, I couldn't get into the elevator, it pissed me off every time!

[smurfornge]

[elpianistafrances]

[exodous02]

[julionica]

[ufo5440]

they need to bring this game back , maybe to the Wii or something. I'm serious! They are starting to do retro all over again on the wii. They just brought back Boy and his Blob, and now did a showcase hype 2D version of super mario bros! They need to go back further into the Atari realm and bring these classics back!

[1Fabizinha]

3:42 kkkkkkkk

[imageniusdonchaknow]

Man this brings back memories.....from like 24 or so years ago.

[Tobidecai]

3:42 HAHAHAAHAHAH

[thesethreekings]

hahahahaha

[samb59]

this was an amazing game wheres the intro music? lol

[ChroniclesOfGBear]

Another quality game on the 2600 which doesn't seem to be as well remembered as it deserves. Very playable and some of the best animation on that console imo. Good memories of playing this one over 20 years ago!!!

[gjc82071]

Definitely. Actually, in terms of over all quality (graphics + playability), Activision pretty much put out most of the best Atari 2600 games. Imagic was a close # 2, & this is just a "personal; favorite" but some of my favorite games were made by Xonox. Runners up were IMO, Parker Bros., Coleco, & whatever company made "Real Sports" games. I love Atari. Although I have a real 2600, 5200, & 7800, I am so thankful for "emulators". I have practically EVERY game for every classic system.

[SergioPL]

Great game!!!

[956483]

[EyeCon2U]

Damn, I had this game back when I was a young'un in the 80's. This game is so ol' skool and classic. My mom gave my Atari away once Nintendo came and conquered. I never forgave her for that. I miss those days.

[v1q3g]

I was 10 when my grandparents got me this for X-mas! how nostalgic!

[saddq1]

Wow. I remember playing this when I was just little, 4 or 5. I have always remembered this game, but I couldn't remember what it was called! Talk about nostalgia!

[mrmercury07uk]

I was only about 4 or 5 when I played this game. It was awesome. Now I own it on PS2.

[mrmercury07uk]

Also, does that game ever end?

[emanuelmiglio]
