All Things Atari, Vintage Gaming & More
This time on #XpressO, I #review #spidermaze by #ktelvision for the #Atari2600. It was released in 1982 in #Canada, mostly, and is an extremely #rare #Atari #2600 #game, fetching upwards of $200 for a single cart. It's essentially a #DonkeyKong #clone. Your character is called #Kong & you're jumping up girders, escaping spiders and rocks.... Continue Reading →
On this episode of #Crank, I take a look at #PickPackPup by Magnier, et al. This is a cool #Tetris style #matching #puzzler that incorporates this cute story about a #pup working at #Fetch, a #shipping #company much like #Amazon! I play some of the game & give you my final score at the end.... Continue Reading →
On this episode, I take a look at #Thunderground by #Sega for the #Atari2600. It was released in 1983 and is Sega's final 3rd party #game for the #2600.

Did I lose my marbles... Continue Reading →
On this episode, I take a look at #Activision's #Crackpots, by #DanKitchen in 1983. This #game is Dan Kitchen's first game for the #Atari2600, who went on to have an illustrious career with #gaming. In this game, you play Potsy, who is tasked with dropping petunias on pesky pests, since insecticide won't work as the... Continue Reading →
On this episode, I take a look at #BoogieLoops by Khoe & Matushak. It's more or less a 'music' or 'sound' app that is controlled by the #Playdate's buttons. But what about that crank? The game is cute, cuddly & well designed, but how is the gameplay? Tune in to find out my score! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6qqtSvieD8
On this episode of #XpressO, 5-Minute #Atari #GameReviews, I take a look at #BankHeist for the #Atari2600! It's a #game by #20thcenturyfox about a #gangster in the #roaring20s who's #robbing #banks and running from the #police! It's another #pacman #clone in a library full of them, but does this game stand out? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dl1zrc3I2Wk
