While Milton Bradley was not new to videogames (Microvision, Vectrex), they
were another one of the latecomers when it came to publishing software for the
2600. Their two 2600 games, Survival
Run and Spitfire
Attack, were sold with special controllers to enhance gameplay, although
standard Atari joysticks work fine in their absence. While Milton Bradley's
games weren't bad, they were not very successful commercially. They also made
plans to release a voice recognition system for the 2600 similar to the MBX
for the TI 99/4A, but the plan was scrapped half way through development. |
