In the retro city board description I see that you have atari so I figured i might as well make a thread about it. My mom bought an atari in 85' (year I was born) and I remember playing that bad boy way back when i was only a few years old. I loved games like Food Fight, Double Dragon, Football (which was actually a soccer game), Pac Man (dear god, the original one was so annoying, with the horrid sound effects and all), and plenty of other games. My Atari collection is over 100 games (I seem to have doubles or triple's of some games for some reason) but the one that stood out most was E.T. This game, more than any other game ever made ever on the face of this planet, made me want to cry because it was so horrible, and such a sucky game, that you couldnt help playing it and think "wtf were they smoking and will it get any better?" But let me tell you folks, a game where you travel from screen to screen which each is filled with 20 or so holes, and you dropping in each and every hole JUST to find some stupid phone parts (and reeses cups i believe cause you had a timer bar which showed how long you had to live, and the reeses magically made you live longer) will never get any better than it sounds like...pure shit.

All I remember is mowing down ghosts on a tricicle and shooting at worms amid mushrooms, the rest is just a blur. I spent alot more time playing Marathon for my mac (I wasn't alive when atari came out).

[glow=navy,2,300]I think the game I used to like was Pitfall. It was a jungle game and you swung across vines and jumped on alagator heads.
Oh, Oldschool, this is going to make you happy. About a year ago they made a new ET on gameboy (not sure if it was GBC or GBA) and it was so bad that even NP gave it 1 and 2 stars![/glow]
