Good news - but why not to start lhe rounds on the weekends (like last season)? -players have two weekends to play the games. Monday is not my fun day - and i think i am not alone..

The name is "A man and his bed"....

I think that Atari's intention was that the games released under the Atarisot-lable should be good, but not better that the games for her own home-computer-line.

Only in the UK - maybe a part of the special british sense of humor?

my suggestions: Obelix, Mr. Do!, Tutankham, Sky Skipper, Star Wars; The Arcade Game, Road Runner, Zaxxon, Miner 2049er.

UK-mag "retro Gamer" (issue 137, page 75) reads: "..it does show a lot of promise with the large sprites and well-drawn backdrop. A real shame it wasn't finished." atariprotos.com reads: "...the 7800 was capable of much better than this. Not only are the characters puny and bland, but they all look alike! Atari wisely decided to stop development of this title." each its own?

Da ist die Stiftung mal wieder mit absoluten "Bierernst" an das Thema herangegangen - kann mir kaum vorstellen, dass sich die "Testpersonen" 1984 noch für "Math Grand Prix", "Super Breakout" oder "Real Sports Soccer" begeistern konnten....vielleicht wurden einige Geräte zu Weihnachten an die Verwandtschaft der Redakteure n die DDR verschickt?

...hat jemand von euch einen Scan des Videosepieletest in dieser Ausgabe? Das Atari VCS wurde dabei in einigen Kategorien miit "sehr gut" bewertet (Siehe Foto)

Right- I "grew up" with the 2600 version (since 1984!) and the 7800 control is similar to the 2600 version.

The Joust-sound (7800) is ok - but 5200/XL-Joust-gameplay does not "feel" right IMO.

The A8 Joust is the easiest version- I grew up with the 2600 version and I think that the control of the 7800 ostrich is similar to the 2600 ostrich control.

I have never seen a box with a message like is. A information about a later release-date makes no sense if the game was still released and you have the real box in your hands...

From the back of the box: "available in stores from Autumn 1983" - not the best fake-box if you ask me...
