Raiders of the Lost Ark Atari 2600-from start to finish pt 1

[Kelrik93]

What emulator are you using?

[Kcon83]

When I was young, this game confused the fuck out of me,,,

[Mxtylplk]

This was an odd game.

[young5ever]

I guess the nazis got the last laugh when this sh!!t eating game came out to embarass Dr. Jones' legacy.

[azzarox6661]

@young5ever ...The Nazis made this game! I knew it, it was a conspiracy all along!

[SamsonScorpio]

Awesome!!! I never won this game. Thanks!



[mysticmirror31]

I remember this game and God forbid you did something out of order.

[ramanley69]

BTW, the reason the Timepiece cave blocks up is because you used the secret passage in the Crystal Room (under the floor in the box). After awhile the Timepiece cave will completely seal itself up, which gives you a finite amount of times to go back there for stuff. So if you don't finish the game quickly you never will. Using the whip or revolver on the barrier walls allows you to revisit the Timepiece cave as many times as you want.

i will never forget playing this

[shawbros]

What was going on at 1:52 - 2:21?

And how did you get through the wall?

[azzarox6661]

@shawbros It's a secret passage down there that only works sometimes, so, it takes a bit of running into the same spot.

[ScottithGames]

@azzarox6661 It's always there, you just need to find the right spot :)

[digitalbath1980]

@shawbros

I think the best way would be to pop one of the million zits on your face and actually do something other than bath in twinkies and doritos, LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSER!!!

[shawbros]

This was one of the greatest games for the 2600.

Another was Adventure.

[jci10]

@shawbros I agree 150%! Don't forget Temple of Ra. Another great adventure game!

[Luigi84289]

Nice I'll never finish this because I refuse to dick with 2 controllers. The should have just released a 2 button controller or something.

[rebabean]

I spent SO MUCH time figuring this game out! It was REALLY hard cause I didn't know anyone who had this game and, of course, we didn't have the help of the internet. I was so pleased to finish it and then... no way to save it. So cool to see this again!!! Thanks for posting!!!

[hoover321f]

it took forever....but i did beat this game!

[GozarTheDBZFan]

I almost beat this one day, I guess I might try again but this time with an emulator and nice video

[gwedgbrow]

ha ha! I've now got this game for my 2600 - but I do remember it from back in the day - I hired it from the local video shop, and the guy said to me if I could complete it and show him how I could have any game in the shop I wanted - safe to say he didnt lose out! - bloody no chance of completing this when I was 8 years old!

[vandalaylatex6969]

How the hell would you figure that out. That is insane. Thanks for posting it.

[lfholt7]

Man, I never solved this game as a kid. I'm so glad someone posted how to beat it!

[TheGuyBehindThePC]

same here :)

[elvinsimontheodore]

@lfholt7 Of course you didn't. The parachute sequence was impossible.

[quentil]

I somehow managed to beat this game as a kid. And for awhile, I loved it.

[WinstonSmith6079]

@quentil I did too! But it helped that I sent off for the hint book from Atari to help me. Nice hint book with lots of cool artwork. I wish I still had that now just for sentimental value (and to scan into .PDF). :(

[nowdid]

I bought this game at Woolworth's with my Christmas money back in '82.But it was not until Electronic Games Monthly gave the how-to-directions in their April 83 edition;that is when I could finally complete the game

[dtownlove10]

Was a bizzare game this was for an 8 year old. I had no chance at beating this back then.

[albee1000]

The first time I tried playing this game was around the same age, around 8 or so. I just completed it yesterday.

I celebrate my 35th birthday in three weeks.

[fitsnitpit]

I actually like this game. Played all the way through about a year ago via emulation.

[azzarox6661]

You drop the coins to buy things at the store... that's right, you actually DROP the coins

[RatedJpG]

And don't forget - you must be touching the item you want when you drop coins in order to get it.

And don't touch the merchant when buying or you'll lose your money!

[azzarox6661]

Exactly

[stevenscottoddballz]

Is there a reason there's NO sound? I had this game. The HARD part for me was using the parachute to catch the limb.

[azzarox6661]

There's no sound because, for some strange reason, Hypercam isn't eltting me record sound. And yeah, t he real hard part was the parachute thing... it pissed me off trying to do that, having to do it over and over again.

[elvinsimontheodore]

@stevenscottoddballz That parachute part was absolutely IMPOSSIBLE. One of the most difficult tasks in video gaming history.. Sux because I only landed it like once or twice and then died.

[WinstonSmith6079]

@elvinsimontheodore It takes a lot of trying to "get the feel" for catching that limb just right. But once I had it down-pat, I could do it quite easily then. But it may take many, many, MANY tries to get that right hehehe

[NintendoJunky]

wat do u press to buy things at the store?
