Offical Activision Anthology Unlock Requirement Post

[Captain Wrong]

Since this is the game de jour and I'll bet people are gonna get this for x-mas, there's a thread for the unlockables.

This might make is easier to keep this list active, as the other thread is getting long and cluttered. Post your discoveries, and we'll update it here!


From the old thread DP posted Ken Love's list:

Just a note, here's a partial description of the game from ebworld.com. Find the error, heh

Over 40 Games for the Atari 2600 in One Package - Titles range from old favorites such as Chopper Command, Kaboom, Rampage, Megaman and Dragster, to some of the most obscure classics like Commando and Space Shuttle, to previously unreleased games like Kabobber.

Hmm...I was determined to get the unlock for Barnstorming, got my time down to 33.23 (my best time ever) and nothing! Anyone else get this?

[Nature Boy]

Laserblast
I got the patch at 10,000.
After 100,000, I got the 1,000,000 patch.
For the commercial, I only had to play the hardest game (game 4 I think it is?). You don't even need to score any points, just play it.

Private Eye
I only had to start game three to get the patch. Completing it is optional apparantly.

Space Shuttle
If you 'play' game 1 (which is mostly a demo) you get both patches really easily.

FYI: I could have mixed up the the commercial and the patch requirements for Laserblast (i.e. you get the commercial at 10,000 and the patch for game 4), but the 1,000,000 patch I definitely got after only 100,000 (thank God - it took long enough to get to 100,000).

@Captain: I was the one who suggested that the total was more than the originally propsed 33 seconds. I don't remember what my actual time was, but Joe lessened it to 33.5. It might have been faster than yours but I highly doubt it.

BTW: I have scored 30,000 on Atlantis several times with no success. Anybody else have problems with that one?

I got mine to least 30 a few min ago and got nothing myself.
