Atari Haunted House – Wii Contest Winner
Posted on October 23, 2010 by 8bit_admin
We’d like to congratulate Syd Lexia for his winning entry in our “Wii Atari Haunted House Contest”. We asked readers to describe an Atari 2600 game that they wouls like to see remade in the 21st century by Atari. Here is Syd’s Idea:
Syd Lexia :Without a doubt, Swordquest 2011, with all four of the Atari 2600 cartridges being combined into either one disc or 4 separate pieces of DLC.
Not only was Swordquest overly ambitious for its time, but it was never finished. So not only would this be an upgrade, but it would finally give old school gamers a chance to play the Airworld section.
We agree. Finishing something the original Atari started but never finished would be awesome.
Syd, please email us @ info@8bitrocket.com to claim your prize.

Claimed my prize on Friday. It's in the mail. This is mentioned on the news section that no one reads.
How did you find this?

Playing with a new search engine:
Went to http://www.blekko.com
Did a search for "Syd Lexia"
Used the "/date" slashtag (what Blekko is all about)

That's awesome! Congratulations, man, I'll be looking forward to it. That game really was ahead of it's time. Are they giving you a Philosopher's Stone as a prize?

isn't the sword in the possession of the guy that bought Atari back in the day? Wonder if he'll give it up for a renewed contest...

I was totally confused as to what the contest et al was all about. Still cool, not quite as. I was looking forward to, like, them making it an action rpg or something for the current gen systems. Hopefully they can still take the I Ching concept of Airworld and make it applicable, maybe by interpreting the meanings and changing the levels accordingly.

Funny, I just watched an AVGN video about this series of games a few days ago, seemed like a cool contest, too bad they let it die.

I won a copy of Atari's Haunted House remake. It's available for all three consoles, but Wii is the only console where it exists on physical disc, so that's the one that 8bitrocket was giving away.

It cracks me up that GPF came across this completely by accident, on a completely unrelated site.  |
Nah, he totally did a search, read GPF's 2nd post.

I've always wondered this as well.

I like the forums being their own separate little pocket.
