So many but to choose a few... First time playing Tempest Battlezone and Dig Dug at my local arcade. Getting an Atari 2600 for Christmas 1983. First time playing Xevious at a local travelling funfair. First time playing Star Wars and Gauntlet while on holiday in the US.
Space invaders. Got my first woody with invaders and played it until the cx40s broke. I'm still an Atarian. And play Atari everyday.
Can we count Sonic Mega Collection Plus here? It was later published by Atari, and I'll never stop finding that amusing! Oh, and a good plethora of Dragon Ball games. And Bubsy! And Bread & Fred! Tbh, Atari Anthology is a fave of mine on the PS2, and I plan to buy Atari 50 one day!
The Atari brand was purchased by Infogrames, and its arcade titles were acquired in a bankruptcy by Warner Brothers. Not sure which "us" you mean.
Several videos on YouTube covering 2600, 5200, 7800, Jaguar games and those curious consoles. And also Bubsy in the Purrfect Collection, Bubsy 4D, Atari 50 compilation. From time to time I'll check what you will bring next.
When you released Alone in the Dark: Illumination to a metascore of 19/100.
My first home computer was an Atari 520 STe, my first flight sim was F-16 Combat Pilot, I made art, wrote school papers, played games, made music. All of it and I want one again so I can play Turrican II, Blood Money and James Pond Robocod.🩷🩷🕹️Happy Birthday Atari 🕹️
Bubsy 4d
Atari was before my time but the Atari 50 and Evercade carts made me a fan
Purchasing a 2600 and staying up until all hours playing Adventure. Slaying that little pixelated seahorse dragon was a thrill.
Sitting on the floor of my grandmas dining room watching my mom play Asteroids and maxing out the score.
Happy Birthday 🥳🎉🍰🎂🎁
Hey guys! Just a heads up. None of the classic Gauntlet games are available for sale on any of the major platforms. One of the greatest multiplayer game series of all time. And it absolutely kills me. Just something to think about. o.o
BASIC-Plus, assembly, BBSes, word processing… I miss her, she got sold to a man building his own closed-circuit security system with XLs
Back in '83, taking turns playing Pac-Man with my cousin and beating my own high scores in Missile Command.
How many layoffs did you do and when? How many lives did you fuck up?
the Wheel of Time Book Forum before you showed up and ruined everything
You guys bringing back Bubsy was awesome. May try out Test Drive Unlimited 1 someday too. Also, the old Atari systems are beautiful. Long live: - Nolan Bushnell - Ted Dabney - Jack Tramiel/Idek Trzmiel ...and good luck to Wade Rosen!
1983 Atari video game burial in Alamogordo of course. In September 1983, Atari buried between 10 and 20 semi-trailer truckloads of unsold Atari boxes, cartridges, and systems from a warehouse in El Paso, Texas, at a landfill south of Alamogordo.
Pitfall
Soulless layoffs ?
Like I said elsewhere, I came of age in the ‘90s, so the Atari I remember was the one whose IP is owned by WB now. Please turn this unofficial fan mod of Rush 2049 into something official. I’m begging you. youtu.be/F25oYep4lDA?...
A few. Hard to choose! Getting my 2600 in the late seventies. Absolute game changer. Writing and publishing my game 'Evilution' on the Atari ST. Playing Tempest 2000 on the Jaguar. Such an incredible game which I later got signed Jeff Minter. Completing the 2600 'color' series!
Programming on my Atari 130XE (with 64k RAM disk!)
Playing Bubsy 4d
My most enduring experience from childhood is being afraid or unsafe most of the time. Yay!
Playing the ping pong game with my cousin when we were children
My favourite game is from you bubsy, I love bubsy
Wizard now has extra shot power!
