E. T. Good game. Worst game. So much talk, NOW. BITD, I never wanted ET, I never played ET. No friends I knew bought ET. No one got it for Christmas. It was never even on our radar. Great movie, but didn't seem like it'd make a good game. TRON, Star Wars, Battlestar...Now those seem like video game material. Alien maybe, not E.T. I guess it was usually grandma or parents bought it...They paid way Too Much for the license. Hindsight's 20/20...Thoughts?

I would agree, you probably wouldn't have hated it. And yeah, there were other games competing for attention at the time. I can't say precisely how I would have found it; I think I would have found it fine at the very least. I do recall Raiders of the Lost Ark being awesome, even if very challenging.
I will read that article. The whole topic of this game continues to fascinate me, glad you brought it up this evening (the only thing I would say that is slightly more interesting is why more celebration doesn't surround Raiders - that also deserves its own documentary, with perhaps a scene in it of Warshaw and Spielberg playing it together after all these years; that also should be on a Flashback).

ET was the first movie I saw in the theater. That year for Christmas (Birthmas) I got ET and Pacman. I was too young to make much sense of ET. I was a bit disappointed with Pacman graphics, but I got over that pretty quickly and played the heck out of it for many years. Never really got back to ET though 😦

Know what's unsettling? I just heard a phone ring outside my window at 2:45AM. Not my home phone, not my cell, must be my neighbor's, even though I've never heard his ring before. After hearing it clearly, it rang a few more times then went silent. I assume he woke up and answered it. I can't imagine it's good news if someone calls at a quarter to 3AM...

eBay,...You type in a search for a rare game (just in case, ya know?)...Like "Adventures of Lomax" PS1. Next, at the end, there is a bunch of "PS1 LOTS". Now, You're All Happy! Could one of these lots contain Lomax?? NOPE! They're all Madden all the time and MLB, NBA, Bowling, Golf, and every other crap game you can think of! Seriously, How did We as a Society get such crappy taste in games? How can 6 lots in a row, not contain even 1 game I want to play? No RPGs, No space games, No platformers, No monsters, No castles, No arcade games, No pinballs, No games with guns and explosions I can tell you that!...
**Sigh**

Of course you're not that bad! haha! But ya know what? Someday, someone will list a "lot" and amidst those terrible NASCAR, NCAA, Gameday, PlayStation magazine freebies, wrasslin', smurfs, game shows, golf, Pizza Hut promos, and Rugrats...Will be a faintly purple CD that I can barely make out in the light and it will say "Adventures of Lomax" and then I will POUNCE! Muhuwahahahaaaa!

For the record, Google on my phone never did come back to where it could "Search a Song"...Piece of Junk!

Last night I broke 2 toes.
I can't go back to work for a couple of weeks because it's very tricky to drive a 5-speed for very long with a busted foot, (Broken toes on my left foot). So I guess I'll have to stay on the couch, drink beer, watch movies and play video games. A wise man once said, "It's a cushy job, but someone's got to do it!"

Ya know I could use a variety pack...Just something with ales, lagers, pilsners, stouts, porters, and IPAs...JK

That was very nice of you! And I'd venture a guess that could buy yourself another one sometime if you want to...I think N64 is OK, probably has moments of greatness if I dig. I'll never think it is the Best thing ever as I thought that of PS1 at the time, then PS2 at the time haha...But I enjoy having one and I need to play the classics it has to offer...

So, 3 nights ago, I had a song in my head all day. I come home from work, hit RANDOM on my 6 disc CD changer and out of about 120+ songs, The song in my head (Peter Gabriel - Solsbury Hill) Plays! I didn't even know it was in there!. Then last night on my way home from work I was thinking of the song Scarborough Fair, specifically Nox Arcana's version (with new goth lyrics). Before taking a shower, I hit play on my boombox after randomly hitting some buttons to change where I start, and Scarborough Fair plays!! (Nox Arcana's version too!),...And I wasn't even sure which CD was in there! It was just a random CD comp chosen at random the day before ...

I'll give an OLDLeader story...I was in a pawn shop about 2010 or so and I saw these kids in there, kinda looked like skate punks. 1 had a denim jacket covered in Activision patches! So I commented on it and how I thought that was cool...And one kid turned to the other and said, "Hey this old guy knows what all these patches mean!"
Then I felt Old.
FWIW, I guess he bought the jacket at Goodwill or something, but never had a clue about what the patches meant.

-
Anybody watching "Joan Is Awful" on Streamberry?

Does your phone identify music? Or does GOOGLE "Search a Song" just instantly say "UNABLE TO FIND A MATCH" (Try Again) ?
Mine does that. And NO, restarting the Phone doesn't do anything...
Maybe AI IS REAL!
My Phone used to try....But I stumped it so much it has given up hope!

Ya ever look out your window and see the Amazon van pull up, and you get all happy, even though he's not going to your house, he's stopping at the neighbor's...And you think about it, and you haven't even ordered anything from Amazon in a while, and then you think, HEY why was I All Happy?

They wrote a song about that for The Music Man.
We performed it my freshman year of high school. During the opening scene I was the salesman who tells the other salesmen about Harold Hill "He's a music man and he sells clarinets to the kids in the town..." and signaled the train stopping via the exaggerated "yessss sssssir" for the steam brakes. Was also part of the town folk for the rest of the play.

So last weekend at the local VENOM INC. show (which was a Blast I might add!)...I also saw the bands ENFORCED (Not ENFORCER which I thought it was...) and WORMWITCH, not STORMWITCH, which is what I thought it said...
No longer able to decipher a Metal band logo, I think I'll turn in my Cool Guy rewards card and sign up for AARP, cuz I must be getting old...

So, is it just me or are songs like the ROMs of your MP3 Player man? (Whoooa_)
And are the lyrics to Renegade different in the liner notes than what he sings? Come'on Styx do better! And should I have noticed this in 1978 rather than just now?
... Ultimate QIX = fun ...
A/V is the way to go...until the mighty S-Video...is
And NEO GEO's al'right (Except for too many fighters)...I mean how many King of Fighters do ya need? Like Highlander (maybe) there should be only one! (Also like Highlander, I wish they had Swords!)
I bet Super Mario3 outsold Clash at Demonhead...
How come when ya cook spaghetti, even if you cut it into little bitty pieces, They still come out long?
And corn, you chew it up and later...Umm nevermind.
Do you like joysticks or not?
Garfield's kinda funny.
Plus,
Every video game system ever needs more pinball games!
Cool World has cool music, Not the movie (well it's fine too) but Cool World for SNES!
I think Wes Anderson is the Tarantino of movies.
Llamas!
Seems like the Star Wars "Special" edition features whole bunch of "Red 5s" (5 Red Stripes on the wing), How'd Luke get so many X-Wings? Was he handing them out like candy?
7-Up was So Much Better before they changed it to "All Natural" (Unngh!)
MOPARS Rule!
Emulators are Neat-O! Come'On @Keatah Come out of hiding...)
Whatever happened to @Janice Blasgen Gildea?
The Beautiful, cool,talented, knowledgeable, and Very good-looking people right here on AtariAge would never fall for shallow flattery or pandering, AmIRite?

All that effort, all that Unity, all that thinking, all that green, all that Love, all that cerebellum, & all that Beer that went into such a magnanimous Status Update and only 1 person even read it (THX joe I always said you rocked, plus you Rickrolled me so that was pretty funny
...HMMMM my Magnum Opus and only 1 like ...I bet if I copy this and bring it out again later....At some other date....Prolly no one would notice I was repeating myself...HMMMmmm...perhaps my next status experiment...
PS I hope Keatah is all right.

Last Chance! So, What homebrews did you order?

Saw an ad for Dunkin Donuts coffee and a donut...And that sounded so good to me I didn't care that it was 9:37PM. I figure they're 50 miles away in Colorado and probably closed. Waitaminute!! The website says there's one 8 minutes away!? Oh, it's on Base! I'm not in the Air Force. I do live close enough to hear the Reveille @ 7:30AM each day though,...

Time to Right a Wrong from a long time ago!
I have a cold Dos Equis, an Atari Pac-Man box from 1982, and inside said box? PAC-MAN ARCADE!
This time we do it right!
No time machine needed!

So I finished mowing my lawn (First time this season) @ 6:55PM. At 6:57PM it was raining, and by 6:58 full on DOWNPOUR! Man it looked like the Apocalypse out there! Sometimes everything does work out pretty well!...
Except it will probably be too wet to mow my dad's lawn tomorrow...*sigh* but I'll get to it when I can...
-
Maybe I'm NOT losing my mind! Tried playing original Game Boy yesterday. Couldn't see anything. Found my Tengen Night Sight (magnifier), still Blurry! Today I realized there is a bunch of scratches (dead center) making things blurry as hell on the magnifier lens!
Not even sure this is my original Night Sight; Might be a Different one from an eBay lot some time ago...

Just NOW you Silly Bastards?? Carrie Fisher should have gotten a Star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame Years ago!
Like, as soon as she was in a Jay & Silent Bob movie...

*BOOOM* *DOOOM* Wubba Wubba Wubba Wubba, Wap wap wap! *BOOOM* *DOOOM*...
I think every car that pulls up to the filling station listening to rap might be playing the same song.

I don't think Non Fungible Tolkien would be a very good name for a fantasy writer...

Mixed bag tonight: My ebay purchase, a slightly better deal Wii U Gamepad is going back. Analog stick only goes Up/Down not Left/Right! And why'd I have to take a pic to ask for a refund? (Damnit eBay!)...But I finally played Life On Mars for SEGA Genesis and was blown away!! I got sucked in to the exploration and horror story of it all (Very Metroid-esque), and ended up spending an hour +20 minutes on it! Game is Fun as Hell and Highly Recommended!! Life On Mars
