On this episode of #Xpresso, 5-Minute #Atari2600 #GameReviews, I play #Marauder by #Tigervision from 1982. (Yes, the very same #TigerElectronics we've come to love/hate!) This #game is very similar to #Berzerk, but it offers up some extended #gameplay! Does it do enough to justify the lacking graphics? What do YOU think? Subscribe, Like & Comment!...

On this episode of #XpressO, 5-Minute #Atari2600 #GameReviews, I play #FrontLine (1984) by #Taito! This is the precursor to #Commando, which we covered last time, which influenced this #game. The #arcade version was the highest grossing #game in 1982. Taito stormed the scene with #SpaceInvaders & #Coleco dominated with hits like #DonkeyKong... but how does... Continue Reading →
