    I think the other Aliens game was ignored because the Activision game was so great. Even when it was released for Apple it was something that hadn't been seen before. I remember going to a friend's house and playing it a lot there because my parents wouldn't buy me a C64. They said it was only for games.

     

    Did you ever play the Alien game for C64? I wasn't too crazy about it but part of that might be because I discovered it "after" I played Aliens, so...

    I hope everyone is enjoying Super Bowl Sunday. In my latest episode I discuss games based on the Alien movie franchise. I discuss Alien for the 2600, Aliens the computer game (for C64...by the way, does anyone know why this wasn't made for PC?), Aliens the arcade game, Alien 3 for NES, and a great homebrew called Apollyon.

     

    I enjoyed the movies a lot (except 3), and I thought that they were perfect for game tie-ins, like Star Wars and Star Trek. Let me know your opinions on these games, and don't forget to vote for the Atari Awards.

    Really enjoyed the video man :thumbsup:

     

    I like to fashion myself as a connoisseur of older sports video games, and ashamedly have never heard of XOR's NFL Challenge. Looks like a fantastic game that I'd sure I'd have enjoyed back in the day. We had Football for the TI-99 4a which was very similar to that, but a bit more basic.

     

    Have never played a 5200, and the football game on that, looks like I must give a try.

     

    Loved the first Madden and spent way too much time designing plays with the editing feature. Just a fun game.

     

    I'll second the hockey video, as that would be fun as well. :thumbsup:

    The hockey episode is coming. It will be the next sports games episode. You can get NFL Challenge @ www.myabandonware.com You will need DosBox to play it. If you need any help, just DM me and I'll walk you through it.

    I would like to purchase a cart of Pursuit of the Pink Panther. I don't care if it doesn't have the instructions or the box, I'm just interested in the cart itself. I want to use it on my YouTube channel. Plus there is sentimental value, too. Please get in touch with me so we can negotiate the price. Thank you!

    In the latest episode of my channel, I discuss early football games. I discuss all those that were released for the Atari 2600, plus the 5200's version of RealSports Football, and some PC and NES games. As the Superbowl approaches I think that we can look back on some of our favorite football memories, even if they were played in a video game! What are your favorite football games? Let me know, I'd like to hear about them. How about some memories of your own times playing some of these games? Thanks for viewing and supporting my channel.

    In the latest episode of my Youtube series I discuss the game H.E.R.O. in a new series I call "Best of Activision". I know that sounds strange as most Activision games are great, even the unfinished prototypes. But with that in mind, these are what I consider the best of the best. Like many, I only recently discovered this game and I have become addicted to it ever since. I have to say it's at least in my Top 20 favorite games of all time.

     

    I hope you guys enjoy it. Please don't forget to Like and Subscribe. I appreciate it.

    There are many, What system are you talking about?

     

    If you are looking for Atari 2600 there is The UNOCART, and the Harmony cart

     

    That's it! The harmony cart. I don't know why the name escaped me. How does that work?

    I read about some sort of mega cart, I think that's what it's called, sorry if I got the term wrong. Its something where you can put multiple games on a single cartridge. How does that work? Who makes them?

    One of the classiest guys in the classic gaming community. Thomas is a brilliant talent and just an all around swell cat. We need more interviews like these with the folks making stuff happen today to go alongside the interviews with the pioneers of VCS programming. Thank you!

     

    Believe me, I plan on it. I'm securing interviews with as many homebrew and classic programmers as I can. I like to be able to help them showcase their talent. My channel is growing and I hope it can be an opportunity for more people to learn about the homebrew titles that these talented people have made.

    In my latest episode I interview game programmer Thomas Jentzsch. Many of his games are available in cart here on Atariage. He has made some great homebrews and there is more to come. I was really happy that I got a chance to talk to him about his games, his background and what's to come.

    In my latest episode I discuss some of Atari's early learning and children's games. It is my opinion that learning games are always relevant. Look at Basic Math/Fun with Numbers. And how many programmers were inspired to make fun learning games by Math Gran Prix? Since these early days there have been thousands of learning games made for every game system and computer. But these were the first.

     

    Are there any learning games that you would like me to talk about in an upcoming video? Let me know. Thanks for viewing and please subscribe if you haven't already.
