Good point. There's a certain type of person who thinks that the goal of all art, whether it be painting or video game graphics, is photorealism. While that level of technical skill is impressive, it's not inherently better. To compare Atari graphics to any current system is like comparing Mondrian to Leonardo DaVinci: It should only be done for the purpose of entertainment. Cameron

Hey everyone! I'm the guy who writes the reviews in question for AtariCart. First of all, I want to set the record staight about my age; I'm 24 years old and was, in fact, alive when most the games I'm reviewing came out. The 2600 was the first system I ever owned, and I still have a couple lying around today, though I'll confess I'm really fond of Stella. I played Donkey Kong on the 2600 back in the day, and I thought it was garbage then, too I'm not the type to get upset by whether people do or don't like what I write; everyone is entitled to his opinion. However, it seems like lots of people are missing the point. I'm not trying to influence what games people buy. Why do that when classic game emulation is running rampant and you can play just about anything you want for free? Really, my point is just to have fun and hopefully amuse others who have played the games in the process. I figured the Save Mary! review made that obvious--come on, I'm not REALLY that pretentious! Anyway, thanks to everyone who has taken the time to check out AtariCart. Just to know that people are paying attention is pretty cool. Cameron
