Yeah! Midimaze is another.. As far 3D is concerned, we can go back from poly's to the vector based 3D like Tempest and Star Wars! And then we can go back to the raster based 3D like Night Driver!! After that I'm sure there's a few pinball games that might have given off the illusion of 3D?!?!

Actually... Anyone remember Ultima Underworld??? Actually... If you want to get all technical! Games like Castlemaster and Robocop 3D dated both by a couple years.. They weren't texture mapped like Wolf3d on up, they were polygons.. but they were freescape enviroments.. And I'm sure those two aren't the be all end all... Like cybergoth said, Elite is arguably one of the first 3D shooters as well.. And that game came out in what? '85?

Damn... that sucks man...

I agree with that but Doom part one came out only the next year after Wolf3D.. And it was the one that everybody remembers... it jived with the internet boom whereas Wolf3D was popular on the BBSs... Doom 2 outsold Wolf3d 3 to 1 and has been downloaded over 15 million times.

5)Party Girls 4)Cathouse Blues 3)Beat em & Eat em 2)Custer's Revenge 1)Night Trap

Yeah, I don't know why I voted for it.. I kind of suck..

Robotron & Desert Falcon!

EGM goes way back. 82 or 83 maybe? Now, from what I've heard, they've always had a bias against Atari because of their business practices. I use that in terms of their cheapness. For instance, one of the great things about being a reviewer meant that you got a free copy of the game. Well, Atari insisted that the games be returned in a certain amount of time. Another rumor was along the lines of advertising spending. Nintendo and Sega spent a hell of a lot more on advertising real estate than Atari ever would. Therefore Nintendo and Sega would get far more coverage in reviews and such. Anybody else? Any others?

Gunstar, I believe what you said about Telegames being hard to work with.. I don't know how many people went to CGE and dealt with the Telegames salesman with that thick Texan accent! I think he wanted to kick everybody's ass just because! Trying to ask a simple question turns into the Alamo!

No need to worry. Pictures are not required as proof. Just your honor. If we find you are lying someone will be sent to your house to beat you to death with a 7800 prostick. Well thank you.. I do sort of feel vindicated. I of course have zero reason to lie.. but it really just sucks! Incidentally I played on/off last night after that.. but I couldn't really duplicate it and only able to reach max about 76000 (below is one of them). I think I just burned out from playing it, as once I died once or twice in the first 3-4 boards I'd get pissed and restart That is quite an amazing story you have nonetheless! We'll be sure to keep an eye out for more of these come further in the contest!

Since everybody else is posting higher scores I guess I should too! 78710

Hey Pitbull! I got room at my place!!!

But that's it? No more games, right?

This is what I got! 62210

What kind of coax switcher do you have? I've tried a couple that don't work that great.. I'm wondering if it's because I'm using a RF to Coax converter like the ones found here: http://www.atariage.com/store/product_info...?products_id=42 The signal is great using those things.. But I can't get my switchers to work properly. What's the deal?!

I found two clones and a ton of games at the local thrift store. However, eBay has tons of interesting looking clones new in box.. at least the last time I checked..

David, don't forget this one!!! Blue Lightning 2.5 2.5 2.O 2.O So the top games for the Jag were Baldies, Cannon Fodder, Rayman, and Tempest 2000. The top games for the Lynx are Blue Lightning, Klax, Ninja Gaiden, and Turbo Sub. With Rampart and Shadow of the Beast closely behind. Do people agree with those scores?

Hey! Don't bite my head off! I didn't write that thing!

I found this link and it's pretty cool. Hope it hasn't been posted before! Was EGM biased against Atari? You be the judge! http://boards.ign.com/The_Vestibule/b5296/34216686/p1

I'd pay full price at the theater to see a live action version of Tetris! *edit* I didn't read the rest!! Obviously this would be a complex film and the director would have to work hard to make sure all the pieces fit! (*lame pun insert! ) It would have to be Scorcese and the actors would be: DeNiro as the L-Shape, Josh Harnett at the long piece, and Louie Anderson as the square piece!

So without exaggeration, I should just say "this game is bad!"

It is without a doubt one of the 2600s best..

Hey! Club Drive and Blue Lightning both have their good points... agreed! I remember I got Blue Lightning for the first time and I played it from beginning to end in one night! I can say that I did enjoy it! But you know what? The game is still 100% awful!! This was a game that was supposed to show off the superb power of the Jaguar CD... I repeat, !!!CD!!! Instead it gave me something (minus the 3 something cut scenes) not unlike what my C64 could do... I mean, puh-leeze!! What a slap in the face!!! How embarrasing for Atari to do something like this! Pretty f-ing shameful if you ask me! Right on the eve of such killer titles like Warhawk for the Playstation they would release this bullsh!t!!! I'm a die-hard Atari fan and have about 75% of all Jaguar stuff out there. But a bad game is still a bad game! Furthermore for a game that came out in 95-96ish competing with the likes of what was coming from PS and Saturn? This was a game that should have came out for the 7800...

Play the Japanese version on your emulator.. You actually have an energy bar that allows you to be hit three times before you die!!!

Impossible Mission - Atari 7800 Damn thing's tough to beat!!
