In the latest episode I discuss the legendary arcade classic Paperboy. I compare and contrast the original arcade with its various ports. These are the early ports, as of course this game continues to be ported to this day and probably will as long as there are game systems. Which was your favorite port? Let me know as I'd like to hear your views on this game, and please don't forget to post memories as I'd like to hear about your own experiences playing this game. Thank you.

In the latest episode I discuss more rare and valuable Atari 2600 games. Most of the games in this episode are actually really cool and fun. I know, that isn't usually the case with most collectible games, but most of these are. There are a few that if they weren't valuable I would gladly use as drink coasters, such as Q*berts Qubes. What a bad port of a really fun arcade game! My opinion of course. I will be doing a part 4 soon, as folks really seem to enjoy these episodes. I have to thank the living Atari 2600 price guide and encyclopedia Dave for once again helping me out! Enjoy!

In the latest episode I discuss some handheld and plug 'n play games that I own. I review them and tell you whether I believe you should "buy 'em" or "bop 'em". If you have any suggestions for others not covered in this episode let me know. I am considering getting the Intellivision version, what do you guys think of that one?

Well done!

 

Added some titles (mostly for graphic design)

 

Susan McBride doesn't ring a bell. Where did you get that name from?

 

Wasn't Judy Eckert working for CBS Electronics? I recall someone stating that somewhere.

In my latest episode we discuss children's and educational games that were on computers. A good deal of the episode deals with games made by MECC, the company most known for Oregon Trail and Lemonade Stand. Did you play any of these games back in the day? Let me know, I'd love to hear your stories.

Sorry about that! I had to pull the last video because there were some issues that I overlooked that I caught when I saw in on Youtube. Anyway, here the real episode. Please feel free to share your stories about these games. Many of them I played in elementary school on the old Apple IIe computer.

In my latest episode I have another AVP (Arcade vs. Port) of Sega's mega classic Zaxxon. Of all the arcade games that I used to play as a child, mostly while waiting for my parents at Wilco in Lowell, Indiana, this was the game that gave me the most grief! It took me forever to beat it. Although some of the ports are easier than the arcade, not all of them measure up to the high standards set by Sega's first mega hit. Let me know what you think. What are some other games that you would like to see me do an AVP episode about? Thanks for watching.

In this week's episode I discuss my favorite golf games. I tried to get a few from various different consoles and I threw in a great PC game that I spent hours playing in the early 90's. The highlight is the lost classic Amateur League Golf, a PC game from 2000. Did I miss any golf games that should be included in a followup video? Let me know. Thanks for viewing!!
