Classic Game Room HD - MEMORY MATCH for Atari 2600 review
February 3, 2009 – 8:48 am
Classic Game Room HD reviews MEMORY MATCH for the Atari 2600 VCS video computer system. This game was actually made for the Sears Tele-Games line of video games sold at department stores and through catalogs. Memory Match is the identical game as A Game of Concentration for the Atari 2600 (by Atari). This is a super old school retro video game from the late 70’s that uses the Atari Keyboard Controller (previously reviewed). It’s basically the video game version of Memory, and also the Atari version of Matchmaker for the Magnavox Odyssey 2. If you like strategy and brain games then this one may be for you…. but probably not. Matchmaker! is ten times better. Classic Game Room is the ultimate Atari 2600 reviewer should by a reviewer who loves all things Atari and appreciates retro video games. 8 Sears Telegames in total in this game cartridge.

Memory Match was …
Memory Match was actually a Sears “Telegames” product. The Atari version was called “A Game of Concentration”; not to be confused with the game show of the same name.

LOL those sounds might be worse than the sounds in Superman for the Atari 2600.
Still another interesting review from the CGR

I think the problem …
I think the problem was more likely the graphical limitations, not the ram. Background graphics are very simple and limited so they apparently couldn’t render the numbers that way.
They must have used sprites for the numbers and the 2600 can’t have very many of those on a scanline.
It’s a bad design though, like rsidntevil posted earlier. They wouldn’t need numbers if you could just highlight a square with the joystick and push the button to flip it.

I guess the Atari 2600 memory was too limited to render it all. Maybe if they put in extra ram into the cartridge, it would render it all.

Why couldn’t all the numbers on the board be rendered at once? The Odyssey’s Matchmaker game had no problem doing that.

It’s ilegal to throw away Atari games? Really. I suspect this is the reason for the video game crash, too many poorly written games.
