Fun fact: the ancient kingdom of Shilla (신라) that was once located on the southeast of the Korean Peninsula constructed 황룡사, which literally translates to Emperor’s Dragon Temple, in AD 569. Here’s the interesting bit: the temple had a 9 story tower, and its height is estimated to be somewhere around 65-85 meters (1.5-2 times taller than the Home Insurance Building which is considered to be the first skyscraper), based on records from way back when. Sadly we’ll never find out how truly massive the ancient tower was, as it was burned down by Mongolians in AD 1238.

Attempts are being made to recreate the tower, and it’s already been done in computer simulations. Whether it should be physically rebuilt in real life is under debate.

  I remember Pac-Kong. It's a German game, I think. Absolutely abysmal.

Titanic is overrated. Everything about it is well done, except for the main story. It's so damn cliche. It pretty much ruins the rest of the movie.

  That song has been memed to death. I can't take anything with that in it seriously anymore.
  
  The movie is very accurate to what happened historically; they nailed the set design and there are lots of little Easter eggs in it (like the shipbuilder was last seen doing x). It's just that the whole "Jack and Rose" love story is so damn stupid.
  
  "Winning that ticket was the best thing that's ever happened to me, Rose." No it wasn't. You're freezing to death in the middle of the GD ocean.
  
  AND WHY WOULD YOU THROW THAT NECKLACE INTO THE OCEAN YOU IDIOT!?!? YOU COULD FEED STARVING ORPHANS OR SOME CRAP! AND WHY DO YOU MAKE OUT WITH JACK IN THE AFTERLIFE?!? WHAT ABOUT YOUR HUSBAND?
  
  Stuff like that makes zero sense to me and just makes me upset at the characters.

Is it possible for the Atari 2600 to save your high scores after you turn it off?

  No. Before isn't needed here. He means, "If I turn my Atari 2600 off, will my high score for [certain game] still be there when I turn it back on?"

  Dude you're reading it wrong. He means if they will stay there once the system is off.

  A few homebrew titles utilize peripherals like AtariVox that allow you to save your games. Otherwise no. You'll need a notebook for that.

I'm gonna say it, I hate Super Mario Kart. The handling is outrageous, the hit detection is awful, and it's just a chore to play. Whoever gave it a 9/10 on IGN needs to be interrogated by the U.N. it's a 4/10 at best. I know most people say Super Circuit is the worst one, but it at least has Wario.

  I'm sorry but I'm going to have to disagree with you. I love Super Mario Kart! I love Koopa Troopa, the character they cut for Wario in Mario Kart 64. @Steven Pendleton Mario Kart DS is by far the best Mario Kart game. I think Wii is the worst with its horrendous motion controls and stupid drifting and luck-based gameplay. I know you can manually drift and use the GC controller, but it still sucks.

Is 1478 a good score in Kaboom... Or am I bad at the game?
- September 11, 2020

  Kaboom is hard. I've managed a little over 3,000. I must've tried 200 times for that patch-qualifying score. You're not bad.
  
  I just came from Atari.io. This is actually my first post here at AA.
