Video games are creeping its way into various sectors of human interest; be it as a favourite hobby, a cultural artifact or a topic of discussion. It ignites our imagination and takes us to places where we can be anyone and attempt the fantastic and bizarre.
TIME is of the same opinion, MWEB GameZone take a look at some of TIME’s picks of the All-TIME 100 greatest video games
The Atari 7800+ follows on the heels of last year's Atari 2600+.
In essence, its a shell swap of the 2600+ they released previously, since they will both play the same games. I know its a bit of a stretch... but why not make a Jaguar+ that plays the Jag, 7800, 5200 and 2600 games in one? Throw in a Lynx adapter (ala super gameboy) and then you can play the portable games on the big screen too.
In addition to that make the games built in and stuff the cartridge support.
So they can support it like their Ouya... I mean VCS (I have both too ugh.). No thanks. There are very few great Atari games from that era, most of the good Atari games came way later and were arcade based. So rather than get get a compilation of those games (pretty much available on any console), it's better to spend a big chunk on another console so you can stick carts of terrible games that are basically the same game with a couple changes in control direction or a sprite. Hellz nopes. You are better off spending that money on a retro/import console and building a real library, rather than another regurgitation from a company cosplaying as Atari.
GL: "There have been some great handheld consoles over the decades, but along the way came a slew of not-so-great ones; here are seven of the worst."
Tempest 4000! Turok! Akka Arrh!
Tempest 4000 is pretty fun. I find it fascinating that Tempest 3000 is still to this day a Nuon exclusive. Its a really good game and followup to Tempest 2000 from the Jaguar/Saturn/PS1 days.
Articles like this make me feel really old. Almost all those top "retro" titles, I played :P. Pacman, Defender, Breakout, Space Invaders...all of them *sigh*. Cool to see that Pacman is the #1 on the list with the most votes.
I remember nearly all of those. Those were the halcyon days of everything <3
I'm glad Kings Quest is on the list, that really forms most of my formative gaming years
