Atari lives forever in the public's consciousness

Look at the pamphlet that I came across at my local auto mechanic.

It's nice to see that those graphics are still being used

[MegaManFan]

Nice thought, but it looks more like Intellivision to me.

[Godzilla]

? looks exactly like the original atari space invaders to me...

[Room 34]

Correct... those are definitely the 2600 invaders.

[joeybastard]

Definetely just like the VCS

[Room 34]

No way, man! It's NOT like the VCS... the 2nd and 3rd rows from the top are inverted!

 

 

Oh yeah... and you can't have 3 shots on the screen at once!

I was reminded of this thread when I read today's Edmonton Journal.

In a review of the new game Def Jam Vendetta, the reviewer (Darren Zenko) first notes how bad other musician-themed games have been, including:

 

...and Journey just trying to escape alive from a backstage

cluttered with portable barricades, sneaky photographers, shifty

moneymen, heart-shaped groupies, and the Kool-Aid Man; graphics

weren't so hot back in the Atari days.

 

I thought it was very cool that he included a relatively obscure 20+ year-old game.

There are some mornings that I wake up and hear the "Have you played Atari today" song in my head, now thats just sick!!!!!
