Kaboom! for the Odyssey^2 ?

Posted by atari2600land, 31 March 2012 · 275 views

Sorry to make two blog posts in one day, but this is the thing I was talking about in the last one. This took at least a few days of wondering why stuff won't work, swearing, and much hitting of the computer in anger of doing. People seem to like Kaboom! for the Atari 2600 for reasons I never quite fully understood (it gets too fast after the first...


It's the least wonderful time of the year...

Posted by atari2600land, 31 March 2012 · 205 views

Well, tomorrow is my least favorite day. The dreaded April Fool's Day is tomorrow. People everywhere making idiots of themselves in an attempt to fool people. It is they who are the fools. I got Giana Sisters DS at the store for $24. It's probably what I would have paid on the internet if you factor in shipping. I don't know why, but sites...


DS fun

Posted by atari2600land, 30 March 2012 · 176 views

Well, I did something I hadn't done in a long time. I saw my DS when trying to look for something else. It had been in a drawer. So I got out New Super Mario Bros. and put it in. I played my DS. First time in a while since getting the 3DS. Not only did I play my DS, I had fun doing so. And in doing so, I've decided to start collecting for it again....


Captain Bruce et al.

Posted by atari2600land, 29 March 2012 · 211 views

Hi, I've been busy designing a one-player game for the Odyssey. I think that from now on, most of my games will be one player ones. I'm working on the designing/rules phase on it now, and even came up with a title: "The Edge of the Universe." I hope to have it out by X-mas of 2012. Right now, though, I'm wondering how many people would...


another Huge Crossword finished

Posted by atari2600land, 28 March 2012 · 234 views

I love crosswords, both making them and solving them. I've made a few really big ones, 29x29, which is bigger than the Sunday ones and even bigger than the 25x25 one in every issue of Games magazine. A while back I must have posted a blog entry about this, but last night I finally got around to making the clues for it. Checking to see if I use the same...


iDon't

Posted by atari2600land, 27 March 2012 · 331 views

I've been seeing Angry Birds stuff. Angry Birds pillows. Angry Birds fruit snacks. Am I the only one who doesn't have an iPhone and haven't played this game? What am I missing? I don't know how to download stuff. I have a 3DS and don't even have 1 downloaded game for it. Is it just me? (says the guy who makes games for the original...


Top 5 weirdest of Super Mario's enemies

Posted by atari2600land, 25 March 2012 · 382 views

Just for fun, I thought I'd make a YouTube video of the top 5 weirdest Super Mario enemies. The problem is, I only have three so far. I'm not putting them in any order, though. So far I have Birdo (SMB2), the Goomba with Kuribo's shoe (SMB3), and the Mad Piano (SM64). Can anyone think of some more weird Mario enemies? I want to have at least 5....


The computers that said No to drugs!

Posted by atari2600land, 24 March 2012 · 294 views

Apparently Tandy Computers and Radio Shack made these comic books in an attempt to make Tandy Computers look cool. And every kid knows how cool it is to say no to drugs! In the back is an advertisement for stuff for kids like a VHF kit and stuff like that. But a part of me thinks this issue would have been better if it was titled "The Computers...


Back in the N-Gage again...

Posted by atari2600land, 23 March 2012 · 284 views

My phase for video game consoles comes and goes. Now I'm back to wanting a complete N-Gage CIB collection. Ordered MLB Slam off eBay (the e apparently stands for expensive). If all goes well, I'll buy another game from the same company. I don't think I had enough money to combine shipping. But I requested money from my bank account to go into my...


Lego Island 2: The Brickster's Revenge

Posted by atari2600land, 22 March 2012 · 290 views

The Brickster is one bad dude. He broke out of jail and tore up the Lego version of the book of life. So basically, as Pepper a lego guy, have to go around town doing stuff. Yes, it's as boring as its description. Another thing is I can't figure out what exactly to do even though they told me what to do. This could be troublesome for its main...
