AtariLeaf Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 They're playing fast and loose with the word "definitive". It's amusing though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Yeah, no kidding! Intellivision was released in 1979. They have it marked as 1980. Lots of other errors and omissions too, but whatevers! Kidz and the interwebs today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Yeah, Donkey Kong is NOT an uncovered bowl of tapioca pudding. I am outraged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torr Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 (edited) It's a shame... that had the makings of a great farce. Unfortunately they took themselves TOO seriously, and I can't help but read it as the ACTUAL ramblings of someone who thinks they know "everything" about "retro-gaming". And some of it just makes NO sense... I enjoyed watching John Ritter play a sex-crazed idiot on a scripted TV show. I don't enjoy watching real people BE sex-crazed idiots on a reality TV show.

zzip Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 A lot of that was great! I loved the entries for 2600, INTV, 5200, NES, PS2, NEO-GEO, Gamecube, PS3, WII U, Xbox One. But a lot of the others are a stretch- Tapioca Pudding? Loose Item Wrapped in Newspaper? What does Mario have to do with PS4? Comedy needs at least a kernel of truth to be funny, and many lacked that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassGuitari Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Yeah, no kidding! Intellivision was released in 1979. They have it marked as 1980. Lots of other errors and omissions too, but whatevers! Kidz and the interwebs today. Eh, it was really more of a 1980 release. It was only test marketed in Fresno in '79. Unless you lived in, around, or were willing to travel to Fresno, California, you couldn't get an Intellivision until 1980. Test markets don't usually qualify as true releases IMO.

godslabrat Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Used cd-roms with black coating to trick us all into thinking discs were rad. This basically ruined consoles for the next twenty three years. Created backwards compatability, which is defined as, "something you get yelled at for caring about today". ... I actually can't argue with that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
