Me too. And I'm also rich, amazing and handsome as well.

We need a "Learn to program and make it yourself" game

Atari Landfill Adventures might be fun You're a hipster doofus. Avoid the bulldozers, landfill rats and seagulls as you try to dig up E.T. carts and get them to eBay Of course the pits you dig as you search can kill you if you fall into them.

SA is pretty OK. Enjoyed the rom and will probably grab a cart some day if available. Does it get harder at any point or is the difficulty constant? I don't remember exactly put it seems it just stayed at one level.

Actually, I played it again and managed to get E.T. home. The hardest part is keeping the humans off the screen while waiting for the ship. But I just camped on the "Send Humans Away" spot until there were just a few seconds left and ran to the landing zone. 10 minutes. Yeah, this game is impossible!

Whoah! Indy 500?! That game is a blast with two players. I'm gonna beat E.T. this week. All the hate has inspired me. Gave it a quick go earlier and the pits are annoying but really the only time they're an issue is leaving the forest to the right and the buildings to the left And even that can be remedied if you use the transport zones. Now, the scientist and FBI bastards, they suck but you can either slam down the button and kick in the nitrous and run away or "send them home" Difficult and frustrating at times, yes, but not unplayable. And that's the last I have to say about it. No one's gonna win the argument anway

And the best classic system controller ever. wish someone would rig those for use on Atari Systems.

I also wonder if people were expecting something different. Flying bikes, crazy chases.... Drew Barrymore passed out in a field...

I don't mind the 5200 controllers. I just wish they didn't break so easily. I wonder how long my "gold" Best Electronics ones will last.

Oh yeah, Brix and JumpVCS, those look cool Forgot about Zippy as well. Was never a Sonic fan but it seemed like a lot of work went into that one, props for that These types of games, not so much

I may have posted this before, but hey, I haven't slept in almost 24 hours, so sue me Also, I've been pretty critical of bB in the past, still am, but my rage has shifted to the "programmers" and not the tool That said, what games represent the BEST of what the tool has to offer. Donkey Kong is a bB WIP right? Is that still being developed? Endless Snow is a fun little winter game Gingerbread Man was bB with some inline ASM right? Princess Rescue of course What else?

Ha. OK, truce. We agree to disagree. And take it easy with the splooge, Rod Stewart.

Designing and coding E.T. is clever. Mocking it on the internet, not so much. Played the fixed version that RT posted a link to up above. Is it the best game ever, no? But it's decent and the fixes raise it up a bit We played the "broken" version quite a bit when it was first released and knew how to avoid the pits and get out of them and how to solve the game If you just run around like a moron, falling into pits, that sucks. But so does your ability as a gamer. I'm not calling *YOU* a moron, just saying the whole "worst game ever" was likely started by some idiot hipster who had no idea what they were doing. You don't have to like it, that's cool. But worse than Mythicon games? Worse than the "adult" games? Or Karate? No. It's like when people in internet comments sections say "I don't watch SNL because it hasn't been funny in years"

If some internet doofus who probably wasn't even born when the game was released hadn't posted it on his stupid blog or YouTube channel, we wouldn't even be having this conversation. It took on a life of its own after that.

Let's add this to the mix..... What game starts out OK and becomes insane? Mine would be Cosmic Ark. I NEVER successfully captured all the planet beasties. The lasers are impossible. And if you get blasted, the asteroid fields just get faster and faster to where I think it's too much. Stampede! 10,000 points? In my dreams. Communist Mutants From Space. Perfectly fine little Galaxian clone that starts out normal enough and rapidly becomes hell. Start on Level 9, tell me you lasted longer than 60 seconds. No Escape! Once the enemies can shoot you from the other side of the screen, no escape becomes no chance.

I made a coat rack out of old joysticks. I guess I'm not the only one!

That is awesomely nerdtastic.

I haven't bought anything Atari related in years. Aside from the odd homebrew.

Compared to the arcade version it's a piece of cake. Second only to Defender for ass kicking and quarter stealing.

Running around like a lunatic is sorta my thing Anyway, I'm just BS'ing ideas, take 'em or leave 'em. RevEng seems to know what he's doing, the game looks great already and I'll definitely need a cart when it gets released.

I would add the incentive to keep moving. In the video above, it seems like you can just park in one spot and fire away. Where's the fun in that?

Star League Baseball!

I'm sure someone will slap together an untested bB version tomorrow and it'll be $40 CIB. Stay tuned. Make sure you get a low number for your eBay resell.

Assuming you're not being sarcastic. Yes. Very good. Must have.

This is coming along nicely. Good job. Do the humans just follow you around? It would be cool if you could drop them off somewhere and get a nice bonus for saving all of them. Or if they were "armed" and shot in the opposite direction of your shots. Kinda like picking up the second ship in Galaga. Gives you incentive to rescue them.
