Classic Game Room HD - DEMONS TO DIAMONDS for Atari 2600

[rodrigocapitelli]

this is probably the best name for a game. Ever.

[MrMangapwns]

im 12, and what video games i wish to have are wonderswan, neo geo pocket color, the atari 2600, and nes/n64 games. fuck emulation.

[mikeysaur65]

This game, and Yars' Revenge, both need a reboot! If I could redo Demons to Diamonds, the player would be collecting diamonds instead of shooting them. They'd float aimlessly around the field, but holding down the fire button would act as a vacuum to suck 'em in, similar to Samus' arm cannon. That'd make for a great tug-o-war in 2 player competition.

@mikeysaur65

Yars' Revenge got a modern something as Yar's Revenge. It's too different for old school fans to enjoy. Yars' Revenge had quite a lot that made it stood out, where as the modern Yar's Revenge is a generic rail shooter. Sad to say, since it is easy to modernize Yars' Revenge without changing any of the elements of the classic. Side note, I keep switching the appostrophy because the new one does that.

Classic: Yars'

Modern: Yar's

Kinda sad and lazy if you ask me.

I swear I was just playing this game on my DS! (well on Atari Greatest Hits Vol. 2 for the DS)

[TheCastellan]

The score also depends on what level of the field the demons you shoot are on, the higher the level of the field you blast them on, the higher score, same goes for diamonds.

I love how one can have so many sprites on screen with no slow down and flicker. :D

[thenintendogamer]

What the fuck in my copy it wont let me shoot anything no matter how many times I reset the game

[pvtchapman1beer]

@thenintendogamer mine won't even let me move, it shoots sometimes randomly, even tried using the right controller.. let me know if you are able to figure something out, love that game and it wont work for shit, lol

[dulcinea061992]

@pvtchapman1beer It sounds like you're trying to play this game with the joystick controller; that simply won't work-- i believe it'll just make you fire when you push left. Find yourself a set of paddle controllers-- shouldn't be too difficult to find.

[Loupin444]

The demons are now diamonds.

[MattTheSaiyan]

I feel sorry for those poor, innocent, cuddly demons.

[AmericanVideoGames]

sticks to snakes

[kenzacky]

[kenzacky]

[DeltronZero87]

xbox 360 Game Room on 19 may!!

[8BitsFromAnAlligator]

I picked up this game but I don't have a console to play it :(

[kuunami]

I remember playing this game back when i was a kid. I used to love it.

[maraisreq]

demons to douchebags

[happosai27]

damn the soundeffects are annoying. ever after some mins just in this video lol

[Mortaro117]

Atari should be everybody's best friend, as long as it's not the Atari Jaguar. That's a bad friend a bad bad friend!!!

[FangoChris]

OMG, this was one of the best games from when I was young! Now imagine if Uwe Boll decided to make it into a feature length movie! *shudder*

[Tryzon]

Actually that might be interesting to see, just because what the hell could you make out of *THIS*?

[csmaster65]

I want the soundtrack of the intense gameplay in the ending.,

[WULFY1993]

they should bring back the 2600 in its origanal design and start realse ing all new carts for to show that better graphiccs dont make a better game!! 8D

[Myth3842]

Depends on the game really.

[Cheetah1251]

@WULFY1993

Retard. They're still making games for the 2600. The system kinda sucked anyways. That contraption of a console caused the Video Game Crash 1983. Nintendo kicked Atari's *ss. Face it. They did.

[Cabooselol22]

@WULFY1993 yeah, but than we have winy little bitches that only care about graphics like some people I saw, and that will cause the company to close down again. Let's face it, to many people now care only about graphics not gameplay

[TechBoywii]

@Cabooselol22 true, my friend wont play the atari because the graphics are bad, he only plays xbox360 and ps3, he doesnt even want to know about the NES and the atari 2600 because of the fucking graphics, ppl today are graphic-whores.

[plurp7]

Atari SHOULD be a girl's best friend.

[notyoursavior78]

I never played this one before, but I remember seeing the game before in one of those Atari 2600 promos books that showed all kinds of games and described them. I had wanted to play it though because it has such a catchy and snazzy title.

[ThirdBlaze]

I Remember this game, I might need to get the old atari out one night, and play it.

[jtswhip]

As always,thanks guys and PLEASE keep them coming. I love it.

[IronFury]

You know, I was too young and missed out on the Atari games, but this game actually looks like fun.

[InecomCompany]

The good news is you can now buy an Atari and a ton of Atari games for the cost of one Xbox 360 game. CGR prefers the original system to emulators for a variety of reasons, the paddle controls being one of them.

[hobojoe44]

Alot of games are pretty much unplayably with the paddle

[hobojoe44]

without*

[m1rock]

Im pretty sure they make the paddle for the PC. I got everything synced up with GameEx then run to my flat screen. I had way to many old systems cluttering up my game room. lol

[Link4587452]

Atari 2600 @ Play N Trade: $50

Atari 2600 games @ Play N Trade: $.25-$2.00

He's right!

[tombert256]

You are right... it was too rich for my blood.

I happened to walk by a functioning Atari 7800 at a local garage sale for $15, so I lucked out. I feel bad for the people that don't have the priveledge to play the Atari.

[Banjokazooiemaster]

@InecomCompany How does the paddle control work?

[laughingfurry]

@Banjokazooiemaster

To put it simply, it's a controller with a large dial and button on the side. The dial functions like the steering wheel on a racing game, which funny considering how often racing games used the joystick. Interesting thing with the old paddle controllers, two controllers always used the same plug. As a result, there were some four player games that used the paddles. Too bad this wasn't one of them.

@IronFury IronFury on the classicgameroom channel. I never thought i'd see that.
