Carl Williams writes, "The Atari 2600 sure did try to be the arcade in your home, and for a while it was. The problem is, as time went on things improved in the arcade such as the hardware and challenge provided to the gamer. Gamers wanted more challenge, more colors, more sounds and the poor Atari 2600 just couldn’t keep up, as evidenced by many of the later arcade ports (go ahead, just pick one and see). One such title that was quite a bit of trouble to get on the Atari 2600 was Q*Bert, the Atari 2600 just didn’t have the graphical capability to do diagonal, isometric, style graphics quite right- it still doesn’t. This hack is not improving the graphics all that much, instead it focuses on other parts of the game."
The Gamer Writes "The video game industry has grown rapidly over the years. With millions of titles in existence today, gamers are sure to find a game they would enjoy. However, despite the numerous modern titles launched, retro games continue to thrive and remain popular among gamers. There is just something about these old-school gems that provide us with a sense of joy and comfort different from what modern experiences can offer."
