On this episode of #XpressO, 5-Minute #Atari2600 #Game #Reviews, I play #Oink! by #Activision from 1983! This game is a take on the #kids story, #thethreelittlepigs & you play either the 3 #pigs in 1 player mode vs the CPU #wolf, or in #2player #mode you take on a combination of the two! It's an...

On this episode of #XpressO, 5-Minute #Atari2600 #Game #Reviews, I play #Combat, a dated 1977 #Atari #Classic! This game was a pack-in title for the #Atari 2600 from 1977 to 1982, and as a kid in 82, I felt it was already very aged and mediocre. In this 2-player games, it's all-out combat, from tanks...

On this final episode of #Crank (before going on hiatus), I take a look at #Zipper by #bennettfoddy from Season 1 of the free games included with your #playdate that arrive each Monday for a few weeks. In this game, your job is to 'zip' past swordsmen - kind of like a puzzler. What do... Continue Reading →

In this game by #20thCenturyFox & later by #Siriussoftware under a different title, you're attacking a Hyperion military base that has... Continue Reading →
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...
