  1. Disney World is ssoo cool. They have a bunch of cool rides. They have this 1 ride called Track. You're in this race type car. There's a back seat. It's like a convertible. There's a rowbar between the front & back seats. First,they test the wheels of the car. You ride over a series of puffed tile bumps,in the road. Then,they test for the brakes.They stop the car,ever 2 feet.Alot of jerking. Then they make you go around curves,checking for durability. Then this 18 wheeler log truck comes at you,with it's lights & horn.You almost crash into it. But you don't. You swerve & miss it. Then they test for weather proofing. They send you to a room,with light rain. Another room,with cold air,blowing.Another room with extreme heat lamps. Lastly, they test to see how tough the car is. There is a brick wall. You drive right up to the wall.You think,you gonna crash & get hurt.But you don't.They raise the wall & you drive around the building at top speed,which goes off the speedometer. It is a fun fun fun ride.
  2. Yea,i saw the movie. I was great untill, MJ was stuck in the cab in the web. That was awfull. That was when my g/f & I walked out & ate some dinner.
  3. Hey,I have a question about millipede & centipede. I know you are a cannon on both games. Your cannon only has a limited space to go around & shoot the worms. On Millipede,there is a shadow box that shows you,how much room,you have to shoot. On centipede,the box isn't there. Can you tell me,why that is & if both games have the same shooting space?
  4. Hey,i got a question. On the original asteroids,as you're playing the game & shooting the meteors,you ever pay attention to the sound of the game? Doesn't is sound like the theme music of Jaws? Shark05
  5. hey,you all aren't talking about Family Guy/American dad. You all are talking about the atari 2600. You all need to goto the game page & talk about that,not here.
  6. Had Activision never come on scene, the 2600 would never have taken off as it did. Companies like Activision and Imagic demonstrated that the machine could do amazing and wonderful things nobody would have even dreamed possible. JMHO, but I think Pac Mac really was damaging to Atari because prior to that Atari could reasonably claim that while its cartridges were $30-$40 and Mythicons were $9.95, the extra $20-$30 would guarantee you a good game. But when Atari couldn't be counted on to refrain from releasing garbage, that eroded people's willingness to spend the extra money. Looking at different Atari games over the years, the "look" of the games changed. Aside from the high-resolution score digits, Pac Man looks and sounds like a 1979 game. Although a few games from the 1970's have endured well (Combat being a prime example) people in the 1980's generally were not interested in 1970's games. BTW, I had an Odyssey2 when Pac Man came out, and I had the K.C. Munchkin cartridge. My thought at the time was that Atari was suing Magnavox not for financial reasons, but because K.C. Munchkin made a mockery of the 2600. The 2600 is a superior system to the Odyssey2, but show K.C. Munchkin next to Pac Man and one would never guess. On the other hand, throw K.C. Munchkin against Hack'Em and that would be another story. 1024883[/snapback] Hey,i had a friend that had an Odessey. You're right. K.C. Munchkin is just like Pac-Man. But now,don't get me wrong,I did like that game system,too. He had a game like Pik Axe Pete. Ok,that game was like Donkey Kong. The guy in the game would cruch boulder with his pik axe & jump them,also. There was 1 game,where the whole board was invisible. You had to know your way around the board to get around.
  7. E.T. was a fun game. It is the same as Raiders of the Lost Ark. You went around looking for 3 phones pieces. It was fun. It was enjoyable. I think Pac-Man was boring. You always had the same maze,each time. The more points you got,it was always the same maze. At least,Ms. Pac-Man had different mazes at diferent scores. E.T. is better.
  8. In the game Haunted House,I was wondering. If you play the game for 2 hours,& you have the scepter with you & you hassle the ghost,the bat & the spider,like follow them whereever they go,will something happen to you like will you evidently die in the game or what? Shark05
  9. Hey.My name is Bob. I have an atari flashback. But anyway,i use to have an atari2600. I did have Berzerk. I also had about 50 games to the 2600. But anyway,you want a tip? In the game,you will notice that the robots shoot from their hand or foot. I 4get which. But anyway,if you can position yourself,at the robot's hand or foot,you ought to be able to let the robot shoot in the space btween your head & neck.
  10. Hey,how are you? I'd like to ask a question. I'm new to this website. I've been registered like a week. From the conversations,that i'm seeing on here,it looks like everybody is not just talking about the game,but are in much depth about the games & game systems. I want to know,if i'm doing the right thing,by replying to what i see on here & replying to the right person,about the topic,he/she is talking about. I know you are suppose to chat on here & talk about atari products.I used to have a 2600 when i was in my early teens. Let me know,if i'm doing this right. Shark05
  11. Hey,I have the atari flashback2. I also like Adventure. I like game setting #3. Isn't Rhindle the red or brown dragon??I think he is strung too high. Like he must've drank 40 cups of coffee,b4 appearing on the screen. I know it's a game.I know,that how fast,he is supose to run. But i'm saying, & thinking out loud. I bet if you could clock his speed,it bet it would be over 100 or 200 mph. lol He is a fast,little booger. Another thing,i want to know is,on game setting #3,i'll have the black castle open.The Golden Chalice will be in there. Sometimes,the key to the Golden Castle will be there,too. But other times,it won't be. It won't be in the blue labyrinth,nor in the orange,invisible maze,going to the white castle.It won't be in the purple nor the orange corridors,opposite the white castle. It won't be,in the green corridor under the white castle.It won't even be in the white castle. What do you do,then? I'll go & research the whole game back up to the black castle it won't show up. Does this mean that bat has it & won't bring it out or what? shark05
  12. Come to think of it,i had the pong game system,too. It was black & white & had those big knob controllers. Then later,i got the the atari 2600,some christmas ago,in the 80's. But that is when they were around. In the 70s or 80s. I wonder if any1,has the 2600 still around?
  13. Hey,I use to love going to the arcade & playing the games. My best game was Q*bert. I loved that game. You moved ay an angle,instead of moving straight down.I liked the arcade game better than the atari game. I also love Moon Patrol.It was a cool game.I loved shooting the other ships & boulders. It was alot of fun. You also got to jump over the gaps or ditches in the ground. The arcade game seemed to have more bounce/antigravity than the atari version.Super Pac-Man was ok. But when you ate a power pellet & he grew to 5 times bigger,you couldn't hardly move him.
  14. I havr the atariflashback2. There are 40 games in the product. It would be fun,if they had pac-man,donkey kong,q*bert,cosmic ark,Burger Time & some of the newer games,after they came up with the atari 2600.
