Videogame Review, Venture for the Atari 2600

Videogame Review, Venture for the Atari 2600

Too difficult, too brave, and very suicidal. I don’t like games of this nature because they ruin appetite to the point of disgust and you’re even handling enemies throughout the hallways in Venture less well, so between you and me, while Venture does have some maddening effects with my admiration for it, I really wish Coleco would’ve just made some other type of game for arcade privilege on the Atari VCS. Bounds here and there are hard to see, monsters practically in ghostly shades, and what you’ve seen from Berserk on the Atari 2600 is ratified on Venture until there’s too much in a color, way so much of velocity from hallway creeps despite the fact your arrow-holding venturer tries running as if there’s glue to his feet. Maybe Coleco wanted there to be drama in addition to privilege but there’s so much drama it practically washes out healthy barbarianism as well as fun upon general gameplay. Desert Falcon for the Atari 2600 is relatively a complete game because of what it tries to present whereas Venture reels in some well-defined shapes in absence of true, arcade business; in fact, general gameplay here boils down to madness you hardly control and Venture acts as more like a program with eastern style of presentation in regards to vicious creatures or tooth-for-nail results. Scratch that; it’s more like tooth-for-anvil. Gamers who have done well in Venture ought to be congratulated since this Coleco game is more like a war-saw or something akin to monstrosity at its coarsest of video happenings, although (when push comes to shove or I’m strangled near the doorways) Atari 2600 should have better capabilities than what Coleco wants to show through this program. Hardness of motion upon the rooms between me and other monsters needs its difficulty tuned down even on the best difficulty levels however we’re trying to put effort/speed into madness out of chaos. Problem here is that there’s discord against chaos and it seems Coleco- on purpose- decided to visualize worse things than honest difficulty. Mario Bros. on the Atari 5200 is way, way too easy, but Venture on the Atari 2600 makes me dizzy even when the orange, electric barriers in the diamond room look promising enough. Still, I’m not going to feel like giving a mediocre rating for mediocre work let alone impossible work. “Impossible difficulty”. That’s why I think Venture resembles a hacked game more than an official program whatsoever. Besides, along lines of defeat, even gross encounters and disruptive music, chaos seems so uneven: at times everything is too slow, at other times too fast, leaving me with no choice but to practically grind my way through all of the disordered programming to get anything done over weaponry and jewelry. Don’t get me wrong; we have to appreciate the Atari 2600, otherwise the Atari Video Computer System, more than how we understand ourselves in reality, for things on Earth generally look extremely obvious in way too many places compared to what’s on the Atari 2600. Certainly Venture provides us with symbols so that we can connect to the outer reaches of the universe through the subtlety of texture and video performance. It doesn’t matter how “real” modern games look; if you didn’t see the pyramids, you didn’t see the pyramids. Okay, can I go now? This game is very embarrassing. I don’t want to be made to feel like we’re just losers who have nothing to do on time for fun and entertainment except for vanity, corruption, and boring dynamics. Quite simply Venture is absolutely glaring with inferiority and it’s felt by plenty of Atari gamers that Coleco churned out this piece of junk on purpose to portray their Colecovision video game system in better light. Please don’t like junk; it’s bad enough when we spend money on horrible art during the holidays and Venture is just noise and confusion without rest or focus towards our Atari privilege.
