  1. I think it all depends on how old you were when you played them I remember we played both game quites a bit back then. I was probably 11 or just turned 12 when Pac-Man came out and 12 or 13 when E.T. came out the next year To me, both had replay value. What really ruined Pac-Man was the release of Ms. Pac Man because if you needed a dot chomping maze clearing fix, it was no contest which game you would choose I also think E.T. was ruined after you beat it once. A game like Adventure had infinite replay value but once you solved E.T. it wasn't any fun for some reason. And it's easy 25 years after the fact to dismiss both as bad games but if you were a pre-teen back then, did you really hate ANY Atari game? I played Nexar for HOURS on end until my eyes were gonna bleed to see what happened if I made it past level 99 DOES anything happen?
  2. Zoo Keeper was mentioned in one of the Atari club magazines
  3. Anyone know where to find some? Under 7k in size otherwise they don't work in AIM / Trillian
  4. Yeah as someone else mentioned, it would have been a better idea to release some of the "real" games instead of the hacks. Maybe a "SPORTS" section with Bowling, Realsports Tennis, Football and Soccer, Basketball and if possible Pete Rose Baseball As far as what I think is unplayable. I think that's been covered too and for me it's the same: Yar's Return, Space Duel, Lunar Lander and Caverns Of Mars (the last two are a real shame because they're very playable aside from the seizure inducing playfield flicker. I know you guys have covered all of this months ago but I just had to vent In retrospect, MOST of the games are nice but as a software QA nerd by trade, the ones that stink really stand out and piss me off
  5. Interested if anyone has ever done it A screen shot would be nice
  6. I haven't really participated in the forums despite visiting AtariAge.com for years. After I bought my Flashback 2 I started poking around here reading reviews and such. I see a lot of "that will be fixed in the next rev." etc. What good does that do me, having dropped $35 on it already Now I'm gonna have to buy it AGAIN? I appreciate the effort but some of the games are just awful and unplayable and how did they end up getting released in the first place?! Can I volunteer to QA the next one?
  7. From games that I *think* could actually be done? Moon Cresta Archon Galaga Food Fight Bubbes
  8. Hi, This may have been done before but I haven't really been reading the forums. I'm planning on having an "Atari Party" at my place A bunch of friends hanging out, boozing it up and playing some games. What games are a must? Simultaneous two player games are preferred so that everyone else doesn't just have to sit around I was thinking Joust, Combat, Hat Trick (7800), Ms. Pac Man, Mario Bros. What am I missing? What about homebrews?
  9. What was so bad about the Activision one? I was pretty excited when I heard it was coming out but then never saw it in the store and forgot about it. Can you still find them anywhere?
  10. Activision Boxing or Ice Hockey
