    Silly episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000 of the rather bad movie SKYDIVERS! In this scene they note how the small craft looks silly.

      My planned 2600 version of Astro Blaster will have the a couple sound samples, and with AtariVox+ all the speech, as this is an early arcade “talkie” game where the speech is a lot of the nostalgia.

      ^Thanks. Robert DeCrescnezo is so kind. He shared all the enemy movement data which is from the arcade rom, so _that_ hard work is done.

    It's always cool to hear from programmers of the games we grew up with. I only played Road Riot 4WD for the arcade but liked it quite a bit; made it my top 20 of 1991 in my YouTube video series (at #15). Welcome to AtariAge Jon!

    QUANTUM let you move the trakball and capture one particle during the attract mode.

    I think JOUST would take you back to the high score list or maybe the title screen if you press both joysticks inward during the attract mode.

      I'd never read the book, just seen the cartoon "A Hare Grows In Manhattan". Dog-pile on the rabbit! Dog-pile on the rabbit!

      Me either. I just couldn't, for the life of me, recall anything at all about the cartoon except for the name of the book Bugs is carrying.

    If you held down A, B and C during the demo on Sonic The Hedgehog (the first one), Sonic would start going suicidal! It kinda sucked how many of the larger-sprited racing games of the 70s had no real indication of gameplay in the demo. Your car would just drive straight up, no turns at all (the track had them), and it would not move even with other cars around them. Just drive straight up, without giving you an idea of what the gameplay is really like. The rank of "Sorry" at the bottom (in many Kee Games/Atari racers) seemed to indicate the computer being apologetic about not doing anything more during the demo.

    Hey folks. I am sometimes amused by the way the computer-controlled protagonist in a video game behaves during the attract mode. Sometimes the computer is very good, sometimes they are very bad. And sometimes they just do crazy, unexpected s**t!!! Also, sometimes you can actually control a character during the attract mode (I noticed this before in the arcade games FROGGER and BAGMAN). It's also cool to discuss what the computer-controlled character does in a game that, in emulation, you put cheats on during the attract mode. Like how Mario reacts when he goes right through a barrel or falls off a ledge when it should have killed him in Donkey Kong. What attract mode moments caught your attention?
