Game fan, and game designer! FIVE great games for ColecoVision and other retro game consoles, now available on arugulaz.itch.io!

Big Plimpin'. As in GEORGE Plimpton, the stuffy spokesman for the Intellivision game console. He's kind of creepy in this picture. I get the feeling this was the mental image all Atari fans had of him.
Tolong-tolong tolong-tolong atau tong tong tong...
Hee hee! Your soul belongs to BYRON now!
"Evaluate and rank me! Oh! I'm good good good and oh so smart!"
"Oh dear. They managed to get it up to 'O' part."
"Get With It, Strata is the New King of Fighting Games" blares this message from the game Bloodstorm. I mean, you guys made Street Fighter look stupid and came out with a tacky Mortal Kombat wannabe hated by arcade-goers the world over. The bragging doesn't match up with reality. No wonder you make nothing but Golden Pee Golf games now.
"So there really isn't anything worse than Samurai Shodown Sen. Nothing that exists on a compact disc anyway, unless you happen to have that limited edition album with William Shatner and Will Hung singing the best of Elton John. Yes, Sen is so gut-wrenchingly awful that you'll have to make shit up before it will seem like the best option in a comparison. Samurai Shodown Sen or masturbating with your hand rolled in glue and broken glass? Samurai Shodown Sen or a hearing aid that makes everyone sound like Fran Drescher and Andy Dick? Samurai Shodown Sen or skydiving with your lower intestine tied to the propeller of the airplane? Yeah, you get the idea."
This picture's got big "late 1970s progressive rock band portrait, after the bubble for that genre of music burst" energy.
