  1. They’re probably right next to the Ark of the Covenant.
  2. Good deal, Kyle! I’ve been having dreams like this for years...glad they could become your reality.
  3. Fireball for the Supercharger is a Breakout-like paddle game. Although the fancy graphics disguise it, I would consider Kaboom! somewhat Pong-like.
  4. Nice theory. Though... I have a 2600 pirate console with arabic letters on the box. Not all languages using the Arabic alphabet are Middle Eastern...Persian and Urdu come to mind.
  5. I recommend not confusing language with the things it attempts to describe.
  6. I might feel that that person is ignorant: battery is most definitely a singular noun, and its plural is batteries. No, it’s not the same, so long as those people aren’t under the impression that the Beetle is Volkswagen’s only automobile. The Beetle is the first product I think of when I hear “Volkswagen”, but if I were to hear something like “no Volkswagens were produced for the US market between 1979 and 1998” (or whatever the Beetle interim dates were), I would consider that claim dead wrong.
  7. Sloppy words, sloppy thoughts, sloppy deeds. Recently, when a friend invited me over for Thanksgiving and suggested I bring my Atari, I wasn’t sure which one she meant! Church, for a while the 2600 was the only Atari system (at least, the only programmable Atari system), but since that distinction ended more than two decades ago, I think a little more precision is in order.
  8. A 7800 Pac & Pal would have been nice. So far as I know, that game has never been converted to a home version. But yes, a more-or-less arcade-perfect original Pac-Man would also be a welcome addition to the 7800 library.
  9. I like both the arcade game and the Atari 8-bit version. The only drawback is that seeing all those treats in the maze stirs my cravings.
  10. Always glad to be a pain in your neck!!
  11. StanJr, you silly spider. You could just remember that row 1 is 1·2·3, row 2 is 4·5·6, etc. But I doubt even that is necessary. Don’t you get a tingling sensation when you’re about to press the wrong key?
  12. I’ve seen that HP printer before (there’s one at work, and I’ve spotted it at Wal-Mart). My initial impression was that it looked like some kind of starship. Such futuristic styling is a throwback, for back in the day tech products often looked futuristic. Today they look like art deco...or just junk.
  13. Did Woods mention playing such games as Atari Golf, Miniature Golf, or My Golf? If not, perhaps it’s because he wanted to avoid mentioning competing products.
  14. You can still buy it for PS2 to thank Ken...you just won’t be playing it.
