Read my lips: no new 2600 games.

Well, I've done it. I've bought every Atari 2600 game in the used video game stores in my town. What now? I'll start back up again on my NES collection. I only have 61 of those. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to buy more Atari 2600 games, but there aren't any more. Saw Pipe Dream in the Keizer Game Crazy, and I hope to gawd it's still there. And after a 1-1 tie, the America gets its first World Cup point but still looking for its first win. I think we would win the World Cup if we played Realsport

No manuals required

I like games where you can just pick up and play them without having to know much. Games like Super Mario Bros. series, Mario Kart series, Tetris, Sonic, etc. But looking at my Atari 2600 selection, there are very few games like that. For example, Blueprint. How do you play that? I don't know. What do you do in Skateboardin'? How do you even start playing Ghostbusters? Sure, I could look up the manual on AtariAge, but at this stage, it's a moot point. I'm already disinterested in the game. For

I spent the night over at my dad's apartment last saturday. My mom & dad are divorced and I live with my mom, so sometimes when dad doesn't have to go to work on Saturday i spend the night with him.

I brought my Atari with me and went into his bedroom and hooked up my atari while he was in the living room watching tv. As I was playing my new video games, I glanced over at his dresser. On the top of it were h

All the news that's fit to blog

-=stupid games news=- issue 1 / summer 2006   - My first game I ever made for the Atari 2600 (that I ever cared about, anyway) is in the Minigame Compo ‘06. Zyx (pronounced “Zicks”) is an alien face that eats bananas. At first, I wanted Zyx to be a yard gnome, but that would be hard to pull off given an 8x8 sprite to work with, so he became a simple alien smiley face from the planet Plim. Why bananas, though? Cuz I felt like it. This final version has a health meter that shows how many of yo

It's blog, it's blog, it's big, it's a heavy-sixer

It's high time that a tech-savvy young adult such as I should enter the world of "blogging." Since I have fears and hatred for myspace, this is where I'll enter my thoughts, etc. about the games I make, the games I play, and thoughts about the Atari 2600 in general.   My video game "company"; Stupid Games, Inc. ; has 2 official games in its existence. Zyx (pronounced "Zicks", rhymes with Kix, Trix and Crispix. I'm hungry.) has been entered in the 2006 Minigame Compo, and Bubba is just a protot
