Classic Game Room HD - ACTIONAUTS on Atari 2600 review

Classic Game Room was the FIRST classic video game review show on the Internet in 1999. Returning in 2008 with new episodes, Classic Game Room breaks out a review of ACTIONAUTS for the Atari 2600 VCS video game system. The Atari was released in 1977, Actionauts was released in 2008 by its designer and programmer, Rob Fulop. In fact it is technically called Rob Fulop's Actionauts. The goal of the game is to guide a robot through various mazes to find a block of cheese! Sounds cheesy, hooray! It is fantastic to see a brand new game released on the Atari (even if it was designed in 1984) and come in such a nice box with great artwork. This is an extremely limited edition game and mine is # 191 out of 250 sold to the general public (shmucks like us!) For the Atari technical crowd out there, this game was played on the Atari 7800 Prosystem for the review and captured on good-old school VHS. Actionauts will be hard to find but for those of you who like old fashioned old school retro arcade style gaming this review should demonstrate an awesome soon to be classic video game that you may enjoy. Rob Fulop also programmed and designed other games that we've reviewed here including Demon Attack (one of the first HD series reviews), Cosmic Ark, Night Driver and Missile Command. Rob Fulop also designed the popular Sewer Shark available on the Sega CD. Will we ever see Actionauts on the PS3 or Xbox 360? If we do I want the Actionaut robot to be much larger and have laser beams. Is that too much to ask? Great job to all who made this game and packaging! Classic Game Room was the original classic video game review show on the Internet in 1999-2000, now on DVD. The reviews on the HD series are reviewing PS3, PS2, Genesis, NES, Atari and Xbox 360.

"I don't collect these things to have them sit on a shelf and gather dust. I like to play my Atari games."

You nailed it man!

And that game actually looks legitimately interesting and fun! What an amazing release to come out in 2008! I'm absolutely stunned and delighted. I'll never get to play it, but still, this is really great thing to have happened. Thanks so much for sharing, especially opening of the box for the first time for the rest of us!!

when I get a new game, I smell the inside. It always smells like new game

[xalalalala]

@TFiPW Except when you open PlayStation Move Ape Escape for the PS3. It allways smells like shit...

why didn't they just put the label on the other side of the cartridge so you could see it?

Taco Man made fun of the creators name Rob Fulop? He did sewer shark and night trap also

I know how Mark felt about this. I just bought the Pac-Man Collection for the Atari 7800 and it brought back memories of the late 80s.

@winnerboi102 I think Rob Fulop would prefer his work to be enjoyed, not take up space on a shelf.
