dirtboy69 #4 Posted March 15, 2003 yeah just like last week there was a hate activision thread and it was like 12 pages long Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Witchfynde #5 Posted March 15, 2003 ? (Was I sick for a week?) Anyway, yeah, Crackpots came out right around the Video Game Crash, so it probably didn't get a whole lot of recognition. Some people HAVE bashed it on here, but I think it's fun. I mean, hell, you get to kill bugs! (Ok, that's been done several times in games, but it's still fun. Plus just thinking about tossing out dozens of pots out of windows without any ramifications later is a great bonus ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sku_u #6 Posted March 15, 2003 I just rediscovered this game over the past few months thanks to the Anthology. It is a great game. Activision bashing?? I don't remember that. The carts themselves suck in that they are not built to last, but Activision is responsible for about 50% of the best games ever to come out for the 2600.

MegaManFan #7 Posted March 15, 2003 Activision bashing?? I don't remember that. The carts themselves suck in that they are not built to last, but Activision is responsible for about 50% of the best games ever to come out for the 2600. Amen. Anyone considering Activision bashing would be likely to receive a strong THRASHING. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
moycon #8 Posted March 15, 2003 Must be Laser Blast he's talking about. I dunno if bashing one game is considered bashing the company though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King Atari #9 Posted March 15, 2003 Individual games have been bashed, but I don't recall anyone bashing the actual company. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

birdie3 #14 Posted March 16, 2003 Hey man. I am from Ontario and I can't for the life of me figure out where Kincardine is. That's a fairly small town right?? Where is that near?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bcprs1 #15 Posted March 16, 2003 Wow, how could anyone bash Activision? Pitfall, Pitfall II, River Raid, Eunduro more than makes up for the Laser Blasts. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bcprs1 #16 Posted March 16, 2003 I still find it amazing how they were able to come out with some of their later games like Double Dragon, Rampage and Kung-Fu Masters. Some people don't like them, but I find them to be the games that pushed the system to the limit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

StanJr #18 Posted March 16, 2003 Hey man. I am from Ontario and I can't for the life of me figure out where Kincardine is. That's a fairly small town right?? Where is that near?? Kindcardine is about 130 miles west of Toronto on the coast of Lake Huron, just north of Goderich. Activision rules. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
