Hello, y’all A2600 fans!
Would y’all like a nice challenging HORSE RACING game for your A2600 VCS?!?! Are you somewhat bored with Sears’ Tele-Games Steeplechase?
I came up with an idea: Make a new ported version of Intellivision’s successful Horse Racing game for the A2600 for y’all Atari fans! The working title name is Plympton Downs Thoroughbred Horse Racing (sounds like an M NETWORK game title). What controller(s) would you propose to use?! Either the joystick or the paddle ones would do for the racing portion, but how about for the betting side?! Would the keypad controller that comes with Star Raiders do (it has a bunch of keys that could be programmed to function like on INTV or ColecoVision). The colors would look quite differently than on INTV and CV (the TIA palette issue), while the lettering would be more blocky than on INTV.
It would also need a nice title screen.
