    That's a bunch of crap. Maybe you should take a laptop computer with you next timeand demonstrate how stupid they are by showing them the price of a combat cart online. I hate those jerks and will be watching out for them and their kind. I have the same problem here. Everyone is going nuts over retro gaming and most people like that just think it's old so it should be worth more.

    Holy, Crap. You certainly had me fooled. I couldn't figure out how any ebayer could possible have all those stars, then I remebered if an ebayer has that many sells, he gets a shooting star not a bunch of stars. Then I clicked on them. That is one crazy page. Looking good though and quite amazing at that. If I could bid on it I certainly would. Looks like fun.

    That's a pretty good story. Kid of reminds me of the "Christmas Story" by Jean Shepherd. You know the one they play five hundered times on the tele at Christmas. Good story and funny. I would definitly watch this as a short episode of your life on the tube. I'm thinking an episode of "Freaks and Geeks." Best show ever.

    Really, nothing at all? I never played Earth Dies Screaming. But it sure is a blatant name rip off.

    BTW (I have been wanting to use that for some time now) how exactly do these stars by our names work and how does one become an Atari Pro? Based on entries? What are those numbers?

    "The Towering Inferno

     

    1974: Warner Bros./20th Century-Fox

     

    Directed by John Guillermin.

    Screenplay by Stirling Silliphant; based on the novels The Tower by Richard Martin Stern, and The Glass Inferno by Thomas N. Scortia & Frank M. Robinson.

     

     

    One of the biggest films of the 1970s, The Towering Inferno was one of the first blockbuster, high-budget, all-star cast, "event" films. It was so big that it had to have two directors! (Guillermin credited by also Irwin Allen). Besides grossing a lot of money at the box office, it also was popular at the Academy Awards, winning for Editing, Cinematography and Best Song. It was also nominated for many others including Best Picture (yes, really look it up)."

     

    Taken from this site:

    come on, one more click for good luck! wink.

     

    I doubt it was based on the movie since Towering Inferno the 2600 game was made by US Games and the movie was a 20th Century Fox release. 20CF could have easily put it out themselves. You tell me though. Take care, any more? Let me at em.

    Not all 20th Century Fox games. What about Beany Bopper and Deadly Duck, those weren't movies. I thought the same thing until I double checked the Atariage archive. That's when I realized half of 20th Century Fox's games weren't from movies. Whats up with this?

    A brief synopsis for those fans of 60's horror classics.

     

    "The Earth Dies Screaming

    1964

     

    A bunch of people sit around a pub talking about the end of the world, whilst outside, the rest of the Earth's population appear to have dropped down dead. And talk they do… on and on and on…

    If you don't think this sounds much like a horror film, you're absolutely right. In fact The Earth Dies Screaming has very few plus points, apart from its rather terrific (and misleading) title.

    No-one in the film dies screaming, I'm afraid. Anyone who is seen to be killed is usually a zombie, and their reaction to a bullet hole is a kind of stiff upper lipped "Oh, I appear to have been shot. Cripes, what bad luck. Oh well…" than a blood curdling "Aaaiiiieeeee!"

    Still, you can't have everything, and this is a black and white British horror movie, after all. Anyway, back to the plus points. The first five minutes are awesome, as people all over the Home Counties succumb to the evil death plague from space.

    Oily mechanics collapse at the helm of steam trains, cars career off the road, bowler hatted types fall over on train station platforms… it's great.

    Then our hero arrives in his Land Rover, and it all rather goes downhill from there. Turns out the population have been wiped out by a gas attack from a bunch of slow moving alien robots, who proceed to move slowly around the village our hero and a group of other survivors find themselves in.

    For reasons best know to their slow witted selves, the robots only attack occasionally, completely letting off the hook an annoying pregnant girl who spends at least three hours standing at a window in full view of them.

    These robots are impervious to bullets, but sadly not to Land Rovers. They also look like they're made out of odds and ends found around the kitchens of Shepperton Studios. This film was obviously a big influence on Doctor Who - the alien robots pre date the Cybermen (although they're not as realistic) and the deserted village scenario pre dates about a hundred other episodes of the long-running programme.

    Don't ever let a Who fan tell you their beloved series is original again! But possibly the best thing about the whole farrago is its length - just 60 minutes short. The zombified villagers are a bit spooky as well, I suppose. " Taken from this web site
