My review of "Keystone Kapers" for the Atari 2600

Harry Hooligan is innocent!

It's a shame you traded back the cartridge dude, as reject items are worth a fortune to some collectors. But I loved to rent this as a kid and it always came into my head whenever I played Bonanza Bros years later. Even the graphical style is similar. And gotta love Pitfall! Pitfall II was one of my all-time favourite games 9also the largest ever Atari cart at a whopping 12 megabits!)

[@quincyhughes]

This may have been the best game on the Atari 2600. It's definitely in my Top 5. Addicting and fun as hell.

[@guitarfaces]

I used to love this game, and had totally forgotten about it until your review. Thanks!

[@YearOfCam]

You could get this mixed up w. Pitfall but it wasn't the same. This had much more of a frantic, darting approach. It was awesome, and the radar on the bottom was like nothing else out there.

the first crooked cop on a video game Officer Keystone Kelly.

[@huskobon]

Very good review. I used to have this game as a kid, and couldn't put it down. I love score based games, and I always thought Atari did it right.

[@Disthron]

I was pretty surprised at how good the graphics are in this game. The animation looks pretty smooth as well.

[@Amisbro]

not sure if anyone mentioned this or not but don't the airplanes that fly around on the floors look kind of like ones from "Barnstormer"?

[@Noyjeetut]

Good stuff. That game looks like fun, thanks for giving it new life by reviewing it, because I don't think anyone would have ever gotten around to this one.

[@mattsmedley.onehandedgamin9029]

I was always under the impression that what you called "Stationary radios" were actually safes with explosives inside that the crook was trying to blow up. That is how good this 2600 game is, all these years later and still looks good.

[@rizzardcore7056]

Atari was an 8-bit system...just had a much weaker processor and graphical capabilities than the NES and SMS

[@figamin]

ya, vcs was 8 bit, just a real early 8 bit

[@DanielsGameVault]

What emulator do you use with atari games ? Stella ? I tried it, but it looks all blocky and crappy.

[@kppd22]

Hey Auqalung! Long time listener, first time caller. Is there an actual ending to Keystone Kapers? Its one of my favorite games

[@SAFORecruitment01]

The only Atari 2600 I ever liked.

[@sinistermoon]

Awesome review man. I always liked how good the graphics looked on this game. And it has good game play. And then it gets challenging! Good game for sure. Keep up the awesome videos!

[@dad7275]

Nice piece of your personal history. That was interesting. Thanks for sharing. 😊👍

[@fjccommish]

Good 'ole mom saved the day.

[@TheCodedtestament]

The challenge is actually pretty high. Everything gets a little crazy in the last couple levels. This game just doesn't stand the test of time as other Atari games do.

[@farcher3]

There were movie decency codes for movies in the 40s. This made the writers get creative with the types of dialogue of the actors. Thus, these limitations gave the 40s movies the best dialogue 'cause it forced the writers to work around limitations. The Atari 2600 with iyts 4bit graphics are similar. So itsa amazing what companies like Activision could do with the limited capabilities of the machine. Today, Newer machines with better graphicsd etc often have bad gameplay & aren't fun.

[@magesfolly]

I was going to post that the 2600 was an 8bit system, but looks like someone beat me to it. Regardless, I remember years ago arguing with a salesperson in EBGames because he was telling a customer the same thing about atari being 4bit.

[@ELtercermundista82]

My favorite game for the Atari

[@AdamBacchus01]

Contrary to what is claimed in this video, the Atari 2600 is an 8 bit console. It's an 8 bit processor that drives that venerable machine.

[@SharpshireEddy]

When i played this game i had nightmares about it. For some reason it's still scares me idk it's because of the graphic or the sound. But it's creepy a game for me always.

[@BohepansTheThird]

O_O. ...O_O! Pitfall?! YEEEAAAAHHHH! Now this, I gotta see. Heeeyyy, Aqualuuuung~ ...erm, sorry.

[@timsalmons1982]

Nice to see a decent Atari game played up. So much negativity surrounds that console it brings me to tears. Thanks for another solid review.

[@theTF2sniper]

i got this game with my atari today but sadly i cant play it....yet the power adaptor is fucked up but i know someone who fixes it half an hour

[@MartyMacFry]

Thanks for this review! I played this game as a kid and for years wondered what it was called. Now I know. Thanks!

[@Airjet2582]

I played the Coleco version of the came. Only difference is the characters are thinner and not stumpy looking.

[@bormisha]

Nice review man! Very informative

[@Aristocards]

Cool review!

[@LudicrousScotty101]

my parents bought this game for me too along long time ago. the 80s to be exact

[@Thargh]

I saw this van with AquaLung AS or something. You are gonna get a lawsuit :P

[@Tom4z439]

"not the steal the shit yourself!"

[@p6mkq]

A hilarious game. It only looks easy, but the pace gets hectic really quickly. :)

[@owensed01]

@deadlygroove1 Lol calm down mate, I was 11 when I wrote that

[@xToRaYx]

good review think i still have this game

[@danielknepshield9915]

The 2600 was an early 8 bit system, not 4 bit.

[@Fanvadenaxar]

Hellyea it is, I never even heard of such a thing.

[@KurtKokaine1]

Wow, I never played this game, but this just goes to show you how lazy some programmers were back in those days on games like Pac-Man and Donkey Kong. If this game can offer progressive challenge from level-to-level, then there's no excuse as to why those other games couldn't do that. Great review.

[@StakeJade]

Great review, man. Back in the day, this was one of my faves. I loved it. This and Pitfall II! Can't wait for the Pitfall review... hope you do the sequel too. :)

[@KAZALO9]

Dude You crack me up bro ... I had to tell you that You actually helped passed time while I was in the military had me laughing my ass off bro!!!!

[@eshninerforest]

this is pretty bad ass. in the way.

[@Yuri_Yslin]

this game rocked! good review.

[@xpallodoc]

[@uberman111]

woot 3rd comment HI AQUALUNG

[@andrewblanchard2398]

KEYSTONE HOME ALONE

[@jfreakzach]

Game is super fun!!

[@alramone1]

you sound like a young peter griffin (family guy) at times, i'm sure it's unintentional but it's funny and cool

[@RetroDawn]

Similar Boston-to-Providence accent.

[@jayMaze5]

Excelent 2600 review.

[@jackperri2993]

the atari was 6 bit

[@LudicrousScotty101]

Ehh i think the same thing happened to me at toysrus when i bought keystonekapers, some other game was on it i think pitfall how Ironic.

[@DanielsGameVault]

@WindowsErrorGuy it's oke now

[@mariofan794]

2:33 well, thats a fail on ataris part XD

[@burai97]

one time my friend got me sonic battle used for my birthday but someone taped the sonic battle sticker on a kirby game so i turned it on then i got mad so after school that day i had too drive to gamestop and buy a real copy of the game but they gave me a refund for the fake game so i did not have to pay for the real game.

[@majorramsey3k]

Atari is an 8-bit console

[@123stephenno]

hahahaha it was fuckin' pitfall HAHAHAHA

[@HeadBangerArtist]

hahahahah funny documentary

[@deathbycigarettes]

That was the greatest game review I've ever seen!
