Gunstar Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 How can these two thing POSSIBLY be connected? I watched the movie tonight, as it's a childhood favorite of mine, and I decided to look it up on the net to see what I could find, BOY! was I ever suprised, I knew there was a reason I voted for Bush! It was just a gut feeling at the time... Just thought I'd post it here since it has so much to do with the Atari and the 8-bit! http://www.theonion.com/onion3917/bush_cites.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMR Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 Is now a good time to point out that the Onion is a parody site or not...? =-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariDude Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 Yes the Onion is a funny site with stories that seem close enough to the truth that you feel that you are reading a real story. I have the movie "The Last Starfighter" on DVD. Atari had the rights to the movie but did not release it in its original form. Instead they made some slight changes to the game play and released it as Star Raiders II. I liked "the Last Starfighter" version of the game more than the Star Raiders II version.

RJ Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 @Gunstar- SURELY you realize it's a joke, right? You didn't fall for this? You think he'd ever actually admit to "getting a local girl pregnant"? At least you voted for him... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+davidcalgary29 Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 Was Star Raiders II the only Tramiel-era game that was released on different media for the 8-bits? I remember originally buying it on FD format. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
