So I just recently won an ebay auction for Katastrophen-Einsatz and my interest in German 2600 games was sparked.
call it weird or whatever, but I think it's really cool to have old german things.. especially 2600 games.
so atarimania says Katastrophen-Einsatz is a port of M*A*S*H. however the picture/screenshot on the scan of the box for this game looks very different from the actual screenshot they have posted for this game. I guess I'll find out when the game gets to me and I can try it out. (I also have M*A*S*H for comparison)
anywho...
Are there any original german games that aren't ports of other already-NTSC games?
I'm sure if I spend hours researching every game listed on Atarimania under "Quelle", I'd know... (or will I?? I think Quelle is only one of the companies to release german 2600 games [or so clicking on the german flag on that site tells me])
but I'm lazy and want someone to do it for me... :-P
or at least help me out a little.
I'm just looking for a list...
like for example, the first one alphabetically is "Alices Abenteuer"
which apparently was never an NTSC release. sure it was a PAL release, but whatever, I'm looking for PAL German games that were never NTSC.
so this game would be the first on this list I'm trying to create.
bah, I'll just do it myself lol.
(once again this is allowing PAL ports, but not NTSC ports)
-----------------------------------------Quelle released-----------------------------------

PLEASE help if you know that I made a mistake or I missed some or anything...

"Angriff der Luftflotten"
is a port of M.A.D., so this won't be included in the list I want.
bah, I'll just do it myself lol.
