On this episode of #XPresso, 5-Minute #Atari2600#GameReviews, I play #Commando by #Activision in 1983, on the #Atari 2600. In this port of the super popular 1985 arcade game, you're gunning down foes as a commando in the desert. This version is obviously graphically inferior to the popular #NES version. How does it hold up 39... Continue Reading →

Also: "Computer Monsters" is my Book Nook review, and "#Toki" is reviewed, a game for the Atari #Lynx I enjoy very much.
On this NO FILTER HD Special Edition, I play #Gunslugs2 (2015) on it's #launchday on the #AtariVCS! It's my launch day exclusive! I play the #game & show the #trailer. According to #OrangePixel, "Gunslugs 2 takes the action chaos genre further than ever before... into space and beyond. Rockets, tanks, choppers, train crashes, huge metal robots, aliens and hordes and hordes of the #BlackDuckarmy minions ! It's fun, over the top, action movie parody in a not-so-serious way" #Atari #VCS
On this extra extra extra special BCB-sized holiday special, 8-Bit Bubba co-hosts a unique look at chinese knockoff consoles & handhelds by #MyArcade. You know the ones... the ones about $20 with #games that aren't really REAL games. Ok, mostly. This includes the #DataEast Gamer Pro V, a faulty Gamer V Portable, Go Gamer Retro (16-Bit), the new Go Gamer Classic, SNES Retro Wireless Controllers, the Data East Gamestation Wireless (what a piece of junk) & one truly unique thing... the My Arcade #RetroChamp. Which will climb to the top? Also, 8-Bit Bubba reads us his first ever Mailbag spot! Check it out here on BCB #84. And have a happy happy #holiday!
In case you missed it!... on this episode of BCB, I continue on with my '#Atari50: The Anniversary Celebration' complete talkthrough & gameplay!

This time, we take a look at the #Atari2600, #Atari7800 & #Atari5200, and discuss the growing pains #Atari endured going from one console to the next, thus, beginning the idea of generations of consoles. There were some troubles, to be sure, but some great #games were produced, such as "Star Raiders" and "Super Breakout" on the 5200. What lies ahead? You'll have to tune in to find out!
