Classic Game Room HD reviews SWORDQUEST WATERWORLD for Atari 2600 from 1983.

    waterworld is worth about 200-300$ yes?

    i remember the fire sales…. 1$ or so per cart, but they were definitely not in white boxes! Maybe a few incidentals, but most were in original packaging.

    They were selling them so aggressively that they had a bin FULL of 2600 games out in front of kay*bee toys.

    I had fireworld or earthworld, forget which. Didn’t have the manual or comic book though, lol. The minigames are frustrating as fuck

    Steven Bell had the talisman melted down to pay for college. Michael S. Rideout still has the chalice in a safe deposit box.

    Although the WaterWorld contest was canceled, the fifteen persons who made it to the finals received $2000 each. Steven Bell (winner of the EarthWorld contest) and Michael S. Rideout (winner of the FireWorld contest) received $15.000 each.

    Hey
    I remember when DC Comics had TONS of publicity 4 this game in the 1980′s. They did a whole text story (in the LOC/vanity columns) on a contest of “SWORDQUEST”. The final 10 contestants had to prove they could get to the end screen. And, for the love of God don’t remember what they won. Perhaps I could consult some old comic books. Awywho, George Perez (THE comic book artist of the 1980′s) did the art for the comics they were packaged w/ the cart.

    I had this game about 5 years ago, but I stupidly sold my Atari and all the games I had with it. That is one of my major regrets of my life!

    To edit my message from before it was actually on PS1 not the PS2 but yeah again it is such a great game both story and game play wise.

    Hey i got an idea for a review for you…maybe try reviewing The Legend of Dragoon for the ps2…such a good game in my opinion it definetly rivals FF7 or at least the closest thing rivaling it xD
