As for me, not yet. I will be playing 7800 and 2600 games soon, though. What is your favorite Atari game? Mine? I think that would have to be Combat! Maybe Super Break Out? I'm not too sure...

Atari is so awesome, specially the sound. The same way some people are saying in the Internet, it is not nostalgia, most of us that like it were not even born yet, the sound is just awesome. It was designed by very talented people to sound that way at purpose.
People like Mike Pinder who was a famous keyboard player through out the psychedelic years of The Moody Blues. He was a mellotron master too.

I'm currently on vacation in Amsterdam right now, but fortunately I brought with me one of my Atari Lynxes. Been playing Road Blasters, Ms Pac Man, Blue Lightning and Chip's Challenge. As far as my favorite Atari game is super hard... Space Invaders is my most played Atari game, but Juno First, Breakout and Indy 500 are all awesome. I guess if I had to narrow it down it would be Breakout.
Also good to have you back dschult3!

stratogustav there was a lot of cannabis. It was sold in coffeeshops (which was pretty much on every street), not to be confused with coffee shops which only sold coffee. Most of my fellow students where stoned all through the trip, however a couple of students and myself stayed away from that shit. Some even bought cocaine. We also visited the Red Light District and went to some pubs (which were your basic pubs, no strip club or something like that). As we went through there we saw women and transgendered prostitutes trying to get us into their rooms for sex. Nobody on our trip did that (perhaps someone did without telling us though). The alcohol was cheap so a lot of us got wasted, not me though, I know where my limits are and never go drunk.

Sounds like a nice trip, I hope you got some action from those pubs.

The drinks were pretty good (mmmm... Mojitos), but in some of the bars the music was way too loud. I was afraid my hearing would be damaged by it, so I left early (the music was pretty shit too, just remixes and stuff). However, one of the bars called The Bulldog had live bands that played somewhat good music like U2 and other covers (and it wasn't eardrum-blowing-loud).

My favourite is a slightly obscure one: Dragonfire. It was probably my first fantasy game, and the first one with a dragon. I love dragons since then:

That is an awesome review by Mark, Cervantes. I love it. That is a game I have not played though. The graphics look a bit more advanced for a 2600 game.

Yeah, I myself prefer open air night clubs because the volume dissipates better, but you can only get those in areas that are not so cold, like Rio, Las Vegas, Ibiza, Cancun, Bangkok, Manila, Cartagena, Panama, Miami, etc.. I imagine cold places like Helsinki, Stockholm, Oslo, Berlin, New York, Copenhagen, London, Moscow, Brussels, Vienna, Luxembourg, and of course Amsterdam can't afford those locations because they would have to close most of the year. I would say even Barcelona, Madrid, Rhodes, Athens, Rome, Paris, and Monaco are too fresh for that. I say that because I live close to L.A. and almost everything in L.A. is in doors, but one would think otherwise considering how the weather is mostly nice. |
