All Things Atari, Vintage Gaming & More
Guess what?! "#CavernsofMars: Recharged" is OUT NOW for #AtariVCS & most major gaming systems. On this Spoiler Special, I wake up a little and read you a review by #VideoChums which was posted on Twitter yesterday. What do you think? Will this be your new favorite #Atari #Recharged game?
On this first #Atari Newsline Publisher Spotlight (NOW in 4K), I take a look at #Mythicon, a very small budget Atari 2600 game publisher that made some waves when it began selling games for $9.95 on cardboard displays at grocery stores across America. Then, the crash happened. Was Mythicon responsible for the #videogame crash of 1983? And if not, did they steal from other games? Is there any kind of legacy that Mythicon (and publishers of games like it) left behind? Games discussed include: "Fire Fly," "Sorcerer" & "Star Fox" for the Atari 2600, developed by Bruce de Graff & published by Mythicon in 1983. This video includes opinions and discussions from widely available and free social media outlets and message boards which are not necessarily my own. Public discretion advised.

Did u Miss it? On this 4K episode of #NoFilter HD, I play #Gunslugs (2013) and #Residual (2021) by #OrangePixel, on my #AtariVCS. These are the latest two releases out by OP on the VCS and they're pretty great. In the style of previous offerings, "Gunslugs" has you and your team of action heroes battling and shooting your way through the Black Duck Army. In "Residual," you crash your spaceship on a series of random procedurally generated planets. Will you be able to survive using the natural elements of that planet? This is a 45-minute gameplay-only video featuring both games. What do you think? #SupportIndieDevs
