Atari Master Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 Hi there... This is kind of odd for me since I've never posted here before that I know of. Like a whole new website... My goal as a classic gamer is to collect all the games my brother played as a kid (he died a year ago). I remember as a kid that he had an Atari 800 (I think) and I use to play some games with him on it. I was around 4 at the time. So I was wondering, what are some worth while games? Also, what games were people playing back then. Thats most likely the ones my bro had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nukey Shay Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 Back when? j/k Seriously, there are a few "post yer favs" threads going in the 8-bit section. You might try there What genre of games was he into? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari Master Posted May 14, 2003 Author Share Posted May 14, 2003 How am I supposed to know? I think pretty classic games. My mom remembers games like Pole Position, Star Raiders, etc. Has Donkey Kong too, which I've found in my closet. Now to find the computer.

Nukey Shay Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 There are a few signs. If he like to CRANK the volume of the games up, they were probably mostly arcade ports. If he often mumbled incoherently to himself, it was puzzle games. Locking yourself in the room for weeks on end is a sure sign of an RPG or text game player. Constantly complaining about the games not being current was usually an indication of sports games. Earlier sports games that didn't feature real rosters can still be noted by the number of broken controllers laying around. If he could trash you in board or card games, strategy might have been his flavor. "You" meaning whoever he was playing against, that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your MOM remembers games like "Pole Position", "Star Raiders", and "Donkey Kong"? Geez. I'm REALLY getting old! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari Master Posted May 14, 2003 Author Share Posted May 14, 2003 Lol, yup my mom... She's in her 40s. Anyway... I think he just liked alot of Nintendo style games. Later on when playstation came out he LOVED fighting games and football games, some baseball ones too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
