Have you guys ever played any of those old games from a long time ago?
When I was really young, probably around kindergarten, I remembered playing Zone 66 (DOS). It's one of those overhead shooter games that allowed you to move around freely instead of just forward. Wicked-awesome, it was:

I still have an Atari. The very first one from a hella long time ago. I actually had a good amount of games, but they all either just broke over time or I sold them. But of course, I still have Pong and Breakthrough. ^_^ Good times.

You're 19 and yet you're playing Atari, even though I was born when Atari came out, and never experienced the game crash of 1983. Though I still played centipede today. Come to think of it, I've played an atari before, is that the one with the long controller that you have to grip and two red buttons in its side? I think its colored black...
Though I also remembered the MSX, the PC type console with a cartridge. Its more just like a keyboard with a cartridge slot to me. We enjoy playing Mr. Chin and Kick it in that console... |

Yeah... Now I remembered, THAT RADIOACTIVE GRAPHIC CONSOLE! Its good thing that I still have normal vision after all these years! It even featured an article about it about the hazards of staring at the TV while playing video games at that time.
So its from your brother, how old is he? Just asking... |

If you wanna play atari games you may just use your emulator PC for it, dont ever ever experience what we experience in those times. If you still cherish your precious eyes...
Atari games in a black and white TV. WOW as in WOW! |

Wow how odd that 17, 18, 19, 20, 21 year olds actually plays atari when they're young or even now...
Even though I never remembered any atari games at my time. Well except for centipede. Since I only glimpse on that thingy. Im more of a family computer guy and my first video game was Super Mario Bros. 2 Jap version, galaga and battle city...
Years later and I cant still get over with those games. >.< Except for Battle City... |

Yeah, I remembered that, but thats the console in that generation I played.
Anyway, is it true that the graphics of N64 is better than the PSX? Because its only PSX that we actually buy at that time... |

Most of the games there are came from the NES. (Family Computer), seems to me that atari wasnt even considered a classic console in the first place. And why not? sorry to rant but atari only do consoles for money making and hope that people will buy their simplistic games over and over again. And with the radioactive graphics... GUUH. But try an emulator to play these games, its much much better than playing in the console itself....
I like the game and watch better, infact, thats how I really start in video gaming, since the family computer is very expensive at that time. I think its 5 pesos per rent I think. YES, they rent that simplistic games back in the day... NYYAAAH! I becoming old by posting these! >.< |
