If you have fond memories of the Atari 2600...

Less than 10 minutes in, and I'm loving it! I grew up with Atari 2600, and so far this has captured the feeling of it perfectly. You have the rounded corners of the TV, the faint scanlines of the CRT, and a slight fuzz to everything when the colors are bright. It controls well, and the humor is snarky but I like it. I'm only two trophies in so I can't say how long the game will last, but there are 24 cases for trophies, and at this point there's no telling how difficult some of them are going to be to get. If you have any fond memories of the 2600, or the Atari Adventure game, I highly recommend you spend the $.99 to get this.
Amazing nostalgia!

Takes me back to the days of playing "Adventure" on the 2600! This is beautifully done with all the right touches. Perfect controls and awesome level design.
Best "Adventure" clone/sequel ever!

Amazing retro game, and the attention to detail is awesome! I only wish you could save a game. I can't leave my iPhone on overnight and pick up my game in the morning, like I used to be able to do on my old Atari 2600!
Perfect

This perfectly captures the feel of Adventure while broadening the appeal by adding a bit of a story, new monsters, additional goals, and new combat dynamics. I love that a monster doesn't die instantly by just being poked with a sword. That was always too easy, and the new way of battling them adds more action to the game. The look and feel of the old style monitors is a very nice touch too.
ADVENTURE!!!!!!!

Adventure is one of my favorite games of all time. I bought an Atari Flashback just to play Adventure 2. It was fun, but a little underwhelming as I completed it in about an hour. THIS game is what I always wished Adventure 2 could have been, and more. Well done.
Repetitive mechanics

I like gaming nostalgia as much as anybody, but these dragons are irritating.
?Truly AMAZING?

??? I grew up playing Atari 2600, Intellivision, Colecovision.....etc. ??? My favorite game on the 2600 besides pitfall.....ADVENTURE!!! It was the first "RPG" of it's time......and it kept me and my friends enthralled for hours.....days......weeks...... The first Easter Egg was in Adventure......the secret room where the game creator did something that was unheard of at the time......he put his name in his game!!! Warren Robinett. It was brilliant at the time.....still is today!! I'm assuming that is why "Hero" or the square you control is named ?Warren? Anyway......incredible game......the attention to detail of how gaming back in the very early 80's is recreated....it's just amazing. ✨?✨ Scan Lines, the rounded TV, pixelated graphics, monotone sounds.....it's all there!!!! ??? Thank you so much for this absolute treasure!!!!! It's worth much more then the $.99 they are asking.....you just can't put a price tag on nostalgia. ?? ?? ??

I feel sorry for the little dot as his father appears to be dead and the “mother” character never seems to have a kind word for him. I’m hoping she comes to an unfortunate end later in the game.
Atari 2600 -- the way you remember it
abuelito
Most folks who grew up playing with their Atari 2600 tend it remember the games through the fog of nostalgia. Many of us who make the mistake of playing them as adults realize how limited and, well, awful they really were, especially compared to the NES classics that followed in the next decade. With pixa, the Electronic Toy Company has pulled off a small miracle: they've created an homage to 2600 games that plays the way you remember them, not the way they actually were. It's a witty game, full of clever nods to first-generation consoles, even as it delivers a thoroughly contemporary experience -- one that is well suited to the iOS platform, to boot. Did I mention that it's a blast? :-).
Must-play for old school gamers

The game perfectly captures the old Adventure spirit, but adds two mean characters to up the storytelling ante. Multiple dungeons with great, simple gameplay. Fantastic game- I haven't put it down since I bought it, and isn't that the best compliment for a game?
