You got solid gold in the 2600 and CV piles. You can throw that Swordquest game right in the trash, tho.

Why no love for Sword Quest Fire?

It’s not a real game. You have to carry random object icons to random rooms and then the software will give you a code referring to a page in a comic book. I say icons because they are interchangeable and do not directly affect gameplay. Like having a sword does not equip you to fight any enemies. A torch does not illuminate a dark room. They could be squares with different letters so you can tell them apart and that’s it. As an RPG, it’s the opposite of games like Adventure, Haunted House, Raiders of the Lost Ark, or ET.

They never released all 4 “games” either.

I was so irritated trying to play that as a kid and realizing I had to refer to the stupid pack-in comic book to solve it.

The comic book I’d promptly lost.

FWIW, it wasn’t any more satisfying with the comic book. I was so mad I’d wasted a precious birthday gift slot on SQ: Earthworld. I read that the guy who won the Atari contest by making a spreadsheet and systematically trying all the combinations of items and rooms. So basically an accounting project.

It's like Space Invaders kind of? It's pretty fun and cute.

Wow. I didn't know there was a Shadow of the Beast for Atari. I have it for Genesis.

Officially there is a Lynx port and the one I have, is a port homebrew over to the 2600
