This was a particularly long awaited unreleased Atari 2600 game that fans of the console were waiting to be dumped & preserved online for YEARS. Finally 40 years after the game was meant to be officially released, the unreleased Tarzan game from Coleco was preserved! It was thought that the game would be undumped & only be played by those who bought it, but thankfully the game WAS dumped & the ROMs were linked on this page of the Video Game History Foundation! This FINALLY means that we're able to play this long lost Atari 2600 game... & some tinkering through the code even debunks a rumor that the game used the special ROM/RAM cartridge that Pursuit of the Pink Panther used. It uses cool bankswitching, but it uses a regular board like most Atari 2600 games.
If you want to play the game on your browser, then Atarimania has you covered: They link to where you can play it on Javatari & thankfully the game works on that emulator!
I know most of you don't care about the Atari 2600, but I am a HUGE fan of Atari & Atari consoles, plus this was a LONG AWAITED unreleased game, so I thought that this should at least be talked about on these forums. For those who bothered to check this thread, I'd say thank you so much because it's always nice seeing people at least care about lost media from the Atari side!
