On the old Atari games, I also remember pulling the cartridges out halfway, and making it anywhere between random graphics and blips, to being half-way playable -- but really weird -- game. :)Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13010615279445232624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271003808354843498.post-43566071979096647872010-10-21T06:55:28.409-07:002010-10-21T06:55:28.409-07:00I had just about all of these games.

Although their graphics were crude (sometimes even by 1980s standards), I think I'd still prefer to play them rather than modern games. <br /><br />Sure, the modern stuff looks amazing and lifelike, but sometimes you just want to shoot something, not make your guy walk ten miles (literally) through some catacomb trying to find a tiny secret switch.Bob Canadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07938039612223083995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271003808354843498.post-86017740733037545362010-07-20T06:09:01.352-07:002010-07-20T06:09:01.352-07:00I found this:

Some hobbyists are making new, home-grown games for the Atari 2600 platform. Or taking the old roms and mixing them together to make new games.Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13010615279445232624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271003808354843498.post-65306927149771028822010-07-19T20:12:42.512-07:002010-07-19T20:12:42.512-07:00Does Omega Race exist somewhere online?

Omega Race is the one with that hypnotic "Mi-cheal Jack-son' music. <br /><br />It also took me a while to figure out the one that had a wave that looked like it was shooting big pieces of flying popcorn...
