How did they ever sell a single console with commercials like this?

The heads of subLogic, Broderbund, Epyx, and Accolade weigh in on the Atari XE.

IT'S HOCKEY NIGHT at Classic Game Room! CGRHD reviews ICE HOCKEY for Atari 2600 VCS video computer system. You can play as player vs. Atari 2600 or player vs. human being scumbag opponent. This 1981 classic   more...from Activision shows a game ahead of its time with excellent gameplay, even if it doesn't really resemble a hockey game today. Check opponents, score goals and play with a two player team in a 3 minute game. Hockey games today have licenses from the NHL and play on the PS3 and Xbox 360 game consoles, this classic on the Atari has imaginary teams that you can name and call your own. CGR believes that our blue and red team is the 1991 Stanley Cup Champion Pittsburgh Penguins with Mario Lemiux and Paul Coffey! Booya, take that green and yellow team! Ice Hockey is a true classic on the Atari 2600 and this Activision cartridge can be found easily and affordably today. Check it out and pound your bacon loving neighbors to the north (assuming you're American) into the ice without mercy. Or check your reality TV loving, SUV driving neighbors to the south into the boards (if you are Canadian). This is a game for all! Hooray for insulting other peoples' homelands! Classic Game Room is the ultimate retro reviewer and video game review show for old school games and arcade classics like Ice Hockey for Atari 2600!  less

Smash Court Tennis 3 for 360 and PSP

The top ten best sellers for the Atari 2600

Do you remember when...

Set on the fictional planet Irata (which is Atari backwards), the game is an exercise in supply and demand economics involving competition between four players, with computer opponents automatically filling   more...in for any missing players. Players are provided with several different choices for the race of their colonist, providing different advantages and disadvantages which can be paired to their respective strategies. To win, players not only compete against each other to amass the largest amount of wealth, but must also cooperate for the survival of the colony.
A Multiple Use Labor Element, the eponymous M.U.L.E.


Central to the game is the acquisition and use of "M.U.L.E."s (Multiple Use Labor Element) to develop and harvest resources from the player's real estate. Depending on how it is outfitted, a M.U.L.E. can be configured to harvest Energy, Food, Smithore (from which M.U.L.E.s are constructed), and Crystite (a valuable mineral available only at the "Tournament" level). Players must balance supply and demand of these elements, buying what they need, and selling what they don't. Players may also exploit or create shortages by refusing to sell to other players or to the "store", which raises the price of the resource on the following turns. Scheming between players is encouraged by allowing collusion between two players, which initiates a mode allowing a private transaction. Crystite is the one commodity that is not influenced by supply and demand considerations, being deemed to be sold 'off world,' so the strategy with this resource is somewhat different--A player may attempt to maximize production without fear of having too much supply for the demand.

Each resource is required to do certain things on each turn. For instance, if a player is short on Food, there will be less time to take one's turn. Similarly, if a player is short on Energy, some land plots won't produce any output, while a shortage of Smithore will prevent the store from manufacturing new M.U.L.E.s to make use of one's land.

Players must also deal with periodic random events such as run-away M.U.L.E.s, solar flares, and theft by space pirates. The game features a balancing system for random events which impact only a single player, such that favorable events never happen to the player currently in first place, while unfavorable events never happen to the player in last place. This same "leveling of the playfield" is applied whenever a tie happens in the game (e.g. when two players want to buy a resource at the same price); the player in the losing position automatically wins the tie.  less

Damocles Atari st demo cover disk was captured using TechSmith codec.You can think of it as a very distant relative of GTA but on a much bigger scale.This game was also available on the Amiga.Company:Novagen/Author:Paul   more...Woakes,thier was another game before called Mercenary and Second City both used a much more basic vector engine still vey open ended but this time on one planet only. The other game afther Damocles The Dion Crisis was basicly an updated version but had diffrent objectives and wasn't about saving Eris anymore. For example instead you had to run for election or put PC bill in prison or an other way you could defeat him.The Damocles game consists of nine planets and nineteen moons with over 30+ citys it's huge very open ended,each with thier own bus and taxi service timetable and routes.Thier also many diffrent objects and buldings to find and explore.Some building have lifts as well as huge underground complexs.Also thier are many vehicles some for planet side and some for intersteller travel or you could use the teleporters there's normaly one on each planet apart from some moons,you cold also buy/trade or sell many diffrent objects as well as the vehicles too.And thier where many diffrent characters you could interact with.Your main task in Damocles is to stop the giant comet Damocles crashing into the planet Eris not a easy task. In total i think thier was something like 22 diffrent ways of stoping the comet all of them not easy that's not inculding the other missions on the seprate mission disks but it can be done.Running on 1mb of ram and about 1.6mhz this is a coding master peace.Their was also a 99.9% complete PC version but this got canned right at the very last moment.You can also find a fan site here with more information (There's no abandonware here)

From the 24th of January till the 18th of February the Playstation server for Test Drive Unlimited was down and no information was given by the responsible authorities.
Players were left in the dark   more...completely.
Shame on you Atari !!!  less

I don't know how to label this game, but that won't stop me from reviewing it.

A classic struggle between a foul mouthed nerd and a not-so-classic console.

Yes, boredom makes you do things to random videos.

1983

Even before the ESRB existed, you've got to ask yourself, "How can games like these ever be made!?"

:D

I don't know how anyone could not buy this game after seeing this commercial.
