All Things Atari, Vintage Gaming & More
On this episode of #XpressO, 5-Minute #Atari2600 #GameReviews, I play one of Atari's most talked about and profitable #games of all-time, an iconic #Atari #2600 #game, #PacMan. This game was licensed by #Namco & released in 1982 to great anticipation, which the game unfortunately did not live up to. However, it's a classic one for... Continue Reading →
On this episode of #XpressO, 5-Minute #Atari2600 #GameReviews, I'm taking a mini break from my #Summer theme of related games. This time, I dare to play #Dishaster by #ZIMAG from back in 1983. In this game, you're this creepy blonde-haired little (evil?) girl balancing #plates. Yep. #BalancingPlates. That's about it! I read you a bit... Continue Reading →

This time, we're moseying down the river in #RiverPatrol, a 1984 #Tigervision #game for the #Atari2600 based on a popular 1981 #arcade game. In this one, you're a captain on a leaking boat, rescuing crewmates from #crocodiles, vicious #whirlpools & other #river #terrors, while trying to make it to the #dam. Floating #logs & #boulders...

In this #game, you play a take on #Asteroids but you're thrusting your ship into #meteors! However, if you #thrust into the dark side of a meteor, you lose a life! This game is also...

In episode 18, I decided to take a slippery #diversion during our #hot #Summer, the super-rare #GlacierPatrol! It's a 1983 game that was made by #Apollo but never released until 1988 by #Telegames when they purchased it. In this chilly romp around the ice, you're protecting Earth from a mysterious #Aquafreeze craft in the sky,... Continue Reading →
