BJ>  DM>  NA> Atari. Atari made  great GAMES, even though it only had 8-color

awhile.
BJ>  DM>  NA> Brings back great memories...

BJ>  DM>  I didn't get my NES until 1991. I loved my atari 7800. I used to 
play
BJ>  DM>  it all the time. I had this game called Dig Dug, where you dig in 
the
BJ>  DM>  soil and pump air into the baddie's mouths until they blew up. And 

BJ>  DM>  had this FOOd Fight game where you shot pies and fruit at the evil
BJ>  DM>  chefs! ...you know that sounds like the old game burgur time..
BJ> i loved qubert,pacman,ms.packman,Burgertime...
Never did like the Pacman games, other than MS. Pacman, maybe... QuBert was 
one of the more addicting ones, though. ;)
BJ>  NA> Dig Dug! Ahh! I remember that game in the arcades. Ate many of my
BJ>  NA> quarters! :) I loved that game, along with Pole Position, Yars 
Revenge
BJ>  NA> Asteroids (of course), and most of the Activision games that were 
made
BJ>  NA> for it...

BJ> Berzerk.lock n' chase...Pitfall..loved the game and now its out in 3d
BJ> for psx...yes!!!! loved froger to and now thats out in 3d too..
Warlords! Ah! Great 4-player game. I remember being very young and sitting
around the ol' B&W television with friends playing that game for hours!
Berserk was an amazing game for its time, so was Pitfall. Do you remember 
when F-14 Tomcat came out?  It came out in 1986 when Atari made the 
slimline"
2600's to compete price wise with the NES.  F14 had 64k of memory and hi-res
graphics and it was simular to Flight Simulator for the PC.  F14 was probably
the best game as far as graphics/sound goes...
BJ>  DM>  Don't dis the Atari. I would still play it if it wasn't for a

BJ>  NA> I'd never put down the Atari. Have you ever played "Crystal Caves",

BJ> also a good game same guy differnet clothes..secret angent...look
BJ> around for it..great game heeh
Yes. Apogee, you mean? Crystal Caves came out in '84. The Atari version had 
expanded memory, but used low-res graphics so the game could hold more 
vels.
It also had a complete musical soundtrack, pretty rare back then!
