Some enemies need to be hit from underneath more than once to knock them out so you can defeat them. As in Joust though, wait too long after stunning a foe and it will get back up.

Very much unlike almost every game in the series since, you CANNOT jump on your foes here! Instead, you need to hit the platform an enemy is walking on from underneath to stun them. Once they reach pipes on the bottom, they warp back up to the top. They start at pipes on the top level of the screen and move towards the bottom. Your enemies are Koopas, crabs, fireballs, and various other foes. In that sewer, your goal in each screen is to defeat all of the enemies. The game plays okay, it just can take you a little longer to stop moving than you’d like. I only have regular 5200 controllers and the Trak-Ball, though. This game would surely be easier with a digital controller as you would get quicker response times, useful for avoiding the many enemies.

Additionally, the digital controls make no use of the 5200 controller’s additional features. That’s not like later Mario controls at all, but that is how this game plays. What jump you do is determined before you leave the ground. Jumping is limited, in that you cannot control yourself in the air at all. The game has digital controls and only one button, for jumping. This is a single-screen platformer and you walk and jump around the four-level sewer. This game and its characters look a little funny, but I think the look works. is a great version of an early Nintendo classic. While it is not arcade perfect and doesn’t quite match up to the NES version, much like Popeye, which I covered previously, Mario Bros. This is a single-screen arcade game and while it is good, it has always been overshadowed by the games before and after it.ĭespite that, Atari did a good job with this port. Unfortunately for Atari, Mario Bros., while popular, was nowhere near the hit that Donkey Kong before it and Super Mario Bros. This was the first American home console release of Mario Bros.

and they released those games on their consoles, the 26. away from Atari in the early ’80s, but Atari did manage to get the console rights to Popeye and Mario Bros. Coleco stole home console rights for Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong Jr. is a port of Nintendo’s arcade game of the same name. Developed and published by Atari in 1983. None of these eight are quite on that level, but they’re all interesting in some way or another regardless. Several of the part three games are among my favorite games made in the 1980s.

I’ve only got eight summaries this time, but some of them are fairly long so while this is shorter than the first update, it’s still a good-sized article. Yes, after a bit too long here it is, part two of my new, three-part Atari 5200 Game Opinion Summaries series.
