Greg Troutman managed to squeeze a text adventure into an 8K Atari 2600 cart, and although it's much simpler in execution than Infocom's offerings, it's an enjoyable game nonetheless. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In \u003cem\u003eDark Mage\u003c\/em\u003e, you play the role of a jester banished from your kingdom and your goal is to find and return the king's black rose. As in most text adventures you explore the game world by moving through the four compass directions, find and use items and talk with characters you encounter along the way. This is all accomplished with relative ease through the use of the joystick controller, there's no typing here! \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Includes cartridge only. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ctable width=\"250\" cellspacing=\"2\" cellpadding=\"2\" bordercolor=\"#333333\" border=\"0\"\u003e\r\n\u003ctbody\u003e\r\n\u003ctr bordercolor=\"#CCCCCC\"\u003e\r\n\u003ctd class=\"main\" nowrap bgcolor=\"#F0F1F1\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd class=\"main\" nowrap\u003eGreg Troutman\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003ctr bordercolor=\"#CCCCCC\"\u003e\r\n\u003ctd class=\"main\" nowrap bgcolor=\"#F0F1F1\"\u003eNumber of Players\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd class=\"main\" nowrap\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003ctr bordercolor=\"#CCCCCC\"\u003e\r\n\u003ctd class=\"main\" nowrap bgcolor=\"#F0F1F1\"\u003eController\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd class=\"main\" nowrap\u003eJoystick\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003ctr bordercolor=\"#CCCCCC\"\u003e\r\n\u003ctd class=\"main\" nowrap height=\"21\" bgcolor=\"#F0F1F1\"\u003eCartridge Size\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd class=\"main\" nowrap\u003e8K\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003ctr bordercolor=\"#CCCCCC\"\u003e\r\n\u003ctd class=\"main\" nowrap height=\"21\" bgcolor=\"#F0F1F1\"\u003eLabel Design\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd class=\"main\" nowrap\u003eDave Exton\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\r\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"AtariAge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41038769487990,"sku":"","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/2428\/1718\/files\/2600_DarkMage_CartOnly_Primary.jpg?v=1731388216"},{"product_id":"this-planet-sucks-atari-2600","title":"This Planet Sucks - Atari 2600","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis Planet Sucks\u003c\/em\u003e is Greg Troutman's first game for the Atari 2600 and is based on the Taito arcade game \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.klov.com\/game_detail.php?letter=L\u0026amp;game_id=8466\"\u003eLunar Rescue\u003c\/a\u003e.
