Dragster - 60 min Swordquest Fireworld - 240 min (Has anyone actually gotten all the clues in this game? Clue 5 is actually not possible to get in my estimation as you have to drop off the item that makes the 2nd challenge room beatable in the 1st room) Frogs & Flies - 30 min Reactor - 30 min Seaquest - 15 min Boxing - 15 min Asteroids Deluxe 7800 - 60 min Space Duel 7800 - 60 min Fast Food - 15 min Super Breakout 5200 - 30 min Note to everyone: don't forget to include your estimated times in minutes so he can effectively tally!

TROGDOR Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 I play about 15 minutes a day of Adventure with my son, right before his bath time. He refers to it as "the dragon game." He's 4, and he can get all the way through level 1 by himself. When I get him set up with a joystick, I'll unleash him on level 2. His other favorite game is "the two eyes monster game." Hunt the Wumpus. He can't really play that game; he just watches me play a couple rounds. The majority of my Atari game time is spent play testing homebrews. (Unfortunately it's often play testing when I should be coding.) Just got done playing an hour of Stellar Overlord. Stellar Overlord is what Master of Arcturus will become, if anyone remembers that game. I owe you guys a blog update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atari_envy Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Oh God it would be so funny to send in a polaroid of your high score to the current activision address!!!I actually thought about making a copy of the 2600 warranty card & receipt I have and sending them in to the old Atari address and Infogrames. lol. I have that thought every time I look through my Atari collection and see the post cards offers, subscription cards, and "drop us a line to let us know how you are doing" comments. Would I get a "Return to Sender" or would it end up on somebody's desk? And for Christmas, I am going to take advantage of this "exclusive" offer and pick a new copy of Crazy Climber and Atari Video Cube. Might as well throw in the coffee mug and the Atari scarf.

atari_envy Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 I would love to have that mug! What else did they make with that 'breakout' design? Well, I know what to get you for Christmas Unfortunately, I could not find any more breakout designs except for the scarf and hat. I think it would look FABULOUS with the vest.

Alison DeMeyer Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 (edited) Today was an easy day, played and finished River Raid (8.5 hours). Got exclamation marks at the end, that was so cool.

AtariLeaf Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 I never spend the amount of time some do. Thats one of the reasons I love Atari - short bursts of gaming fun. Otherwise you're getting into WOW territory. So anyway, this past week was spent playing a little Circus Atari, Asteroids, Ice Hockey, Bump & Jump on the 2600 and Food Fight, Donkey Kong, and Ms Pac Man on the 7800 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
