Are you ready for the most hyped up, monster jammin', bruisin' elbows, rebound snatchin', rim stuffin', skying over suckers, down your throat, money making game of street ball you never thought possible?

Ski Hunt is an action game in which the player controls a skier driving down a 30 km slope. There are two distinct stages: During the first, the player simply has to dodge incoming obstacles (trees) and points are awarded for every kilometer. During the second stage, the obstacles are replaced by animals (e.g. deer or wolves), the player gets a gun and points are awarded for shootings. The player character can move freely during both. The two stages alternate and become faster over time.
Mondo Pong was Piero Cavina's first programming effort on the Atari 2600 and is an evil variation on the game that started it all, Pong. In this version there are two balls and they each have a mind of their own! Sometimes the ball will double back at you after you hit it, other times it might just spin around in circles for a bit, keeping you on your toes as you wait for it to shoot off in some direction (hopefully not at you!)
There are several game variations that allow you to select one or two players and a score limit of 15 or 45. There is also a normal vs. hard option, but that is not implemented in this version of Mondo Pong.
This is an Alpha Version of Mondo Pong as it was never completed! Therefore, the game doesn't have the polish you might expect from a finished game and there may be a few bugs. Nevertheless, it's still an interesting concept and a hoot to play.
RealSports Basketball was an unreleased prototype developed by Atari, which would have filled out Atari's RealSports lineup nicely (Baseball, Football, Soccer, Tennis, and Volleyball titles were released). This version of the game is about 90% complete and fully playable. A version of this game with box, manual, and cartridge was sold at the 2002 Classic Gaming Expo.
This game is an altered version of the Atari 2600 version of RealSports Baseball. The game controls are identical. The alterations are that the graphics and colors were changed. Also, the options were reduced to one or two player and whether, in one player, the human player is up first at bat or not.
Otherwise, everything else is the same. You still can throw fastballs, curve balls, sinkers, etc. and you can still bunt, hit fly balls, etc. Scoring remains the same with a tie after nine innings going into extra innings. The difficulty switches do not have any use.
This is a game of polo, played on horseback. You move your horse with the joystick. The mallet swings automatically and will always send the ball in the direction of the opposing goal. The object is simply to to get the ball through the opposing player's goal more than they get the ball through yours. Some game variations have the ball wrap around the screen, some make the ball bounce off the sides, some give each player one horse to control, some two apiece.
In 1978 Warner Communications, who happened to own both Atari and Ralph Lauren, assigned Carol Shaw to design a game that would tie-in with Ralph Lauren's new cologne "Polo". It's unknown exactly how the game would be used in the promotion, but it may have been intended to be given away to customers who spent large amounts of money. Supposedly several prototypes and handwritten instructions were sent to Bloomingdale's in New York, but nothing became of the promotion and Polo went unreleased until 2002.
The cart, box and manual are reproductions from 2002 wit
This game was originally packaged with Video Jogger and the Foot Craz Activity Pad. When a bug appears in one of the boxes, step on it quickly or lose a life. But if a butterfly appears, DON'T step on it or lose a life. You can end up jumping around pretty fast. You can also play this game with a joystick, but it's not as fun.
Here's the first 2600 Baseball game to live up to this winning attitude.
* From the crack of the bat, make split second decisions as you choose which
fielder makes the play.
* Throw popular Major League pitches - fast balls, curves, change-ups,
screwballs and sinkers. (Spitballs?)
* Head to head action with your friends or against the computer.
* Complete TV-like coverage, with six camera angles you're always right there
where the action is.
* Play to a packed stadium complete with cheering crowd and organist. (Bring
your own peanuts and hotdogs.)
* The most exciting baseball ever on the 2600 with depth and feel you've
seen on Big League Home Computers.
Deep Pockets: Super Pro Pool and Billiards is a billiards game for the Intellivision. It was developed for market in 1990 but never released. It is notable for being the last game completed for the Intellivision console. It was later included in intellivision lives.
The object of the game is to score the most runs in 9 innings or extra innings to a decision. Most professional baseball rules apply - 3 strikes for an out, 4 balls for a walk, first 2 fouled balls count as strikes. Each player controls an 8-man team. One team fields while the other team is up to bat. Home runs, force-outs, double and triple plays can all be made. Batter up!
The object of the game is to out-score your opponent. There's passing, rushing, blocking, and touchdowns! Simulated 15 minute quarters. You set both offense and defense. Individual control of both the quarterback and linebacker.
This isn't kid stuff! It's the fastest, flyingest, most unforgiving trio of events any biker could ask for. Start with a Half Pipe that takes you so high you won't know whether you're coming or going. Then do a Quarter Pipe that makes doing dozens of tricks easy and crashing even easier. Then try the Ramp Jump. It's the jump that's just a bit wider than the Grand Canyon. If there's a more dangerous challenge open to daredevil BMX bikers, we have yet to test it. So, if you think you're good - really good - put your freewheeling skills on the line with BMX AirMaster!
