Halloween -Atari 2600-

Halloween on the Atari 2600

As some may not know John Carpenters movie Halloween inspired
a video game of the same name based on the classic horror movie
Halloween! Wizard Video Games is responsible for this little piece
of Atari 2600 history. It was released in 1983 for the now classic
gaming console the Atari 2600. I had an Atari 2600 when i was a
kid and i remember shopping for games to play on it, but i never
spotted this game. Apparently the reason why is because due to
its content and how it come to originate from, it was to graphic to
be placed on shelves. Now i know that strikes us funny today as
i am also guilty of laughing about that piece of info, but back then
you know how it is. If you wanted to buy the game and the store happened
to be carrying it, it was behind counters. This game is extremely rare
and still sought after by collectors today. But there are two versions of it.
Wizard Video Games apparently done away with their stash of inventory
to lower costs and several of the copies of the game were sold with no
label. So some copies of the cartridge just have "Halloween" written
across the cartridge in marker. The other version has a full color
label of artwork on the cartridge. Both versions rare, but not
determined which one is more wanted by collectors.

I wish they would redo these games so we could play a much more modernized version of them on todays systems. I think it would be awesome.
