Game fan, and game designer! FIVE great games for ColecoVision and other retro game consoles, now available on arugulaz.itch.io!

Calling it the N64 of your creepy cousin with deranged views wasn't meant to be an endorsement! I'm no more a fan of Jerky McBeatzoff than you are, seriously. (Palmer Luckey? Well, some masturbatory name.)

This somehow happened on the 2600. Solar Fox is heavily abridged, but it tightens the focus on collecting dots, and is a better game without the arcade version's superfluous play mechanics.

Katz, Kunkel, and Worley. Wow, there's a trip to the past.

My least favorite Nintendo console, with the added baggage of a war profiteer? Gee, where do I sign up? This will be the easiest boycott since Make Anus Great Again home enema kits.

What is a game dot com? A miserable pile!

000

Ooh, ooh! Buggy Boy next, please!

Wow. They did Bashir dirty with this. He was only annoyingly horny for the first season, sheesh!

I still remember the mess from ten years ago when the ranchers commandeered a bird sanctuary. They're insular, spoiled bastards. The sooner lab meat puts them on the streets, giving handies to Tucson tourists for loose change, the better. "I used to be a cowboy!" "Yeah, yeah, just keep pulling."

"Don't be a coward" invariably means "Come back so we can abuse you some more!" And the response should always be "Nope. Suffer."

It's pretty dour! Like, almost Phideaux dour. I just cannot listen to Routine. But when you happen to live in a country where school shootings are also routine, a song like that does not go down smooth.

It can do some amazing stuff, but oy gevalt, it makes you work for every pixel. Case in point: Street Fighter II, running on the XEGS. That's the second Atari game system with Atari 8-bit computer parts, not far removed from the 5200. How is any of this possible?! www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XTl...

King of the Hill isn't my favorite animated sitcom, but it's a grounded show with meaningful character development. Aging the characters changes the dynamic in ways most shows wouldn't dare try (how long have Maggie and Stewie been babies again?), so they definitely get credit for that.

020

Now? Nah. It was a teen magazine, generally marketed to girls of that age who had a crush on the celebrities of the time. Tiger Beat likely hasn't been published for at least fifteen years.

Weird place to ask, but what did you think of the King of the Hill revival? Having Bobby enter Flavortown was certainly... a decision.

110

Oh no, Joey Lawrence got all fat and fascist! He'll never be on the cover of Tiger Beat now!

If you're going to work with Palmer Luckey, you can g'Argo deez nauts.

Those guys can g'Argo deez nauts.

The impression I get from the 7800 is "what would happen if an Atari 5200 screwed an NES?" It's kind of a midway point between the way Ataris handle graphics and the tile-based graphics of the NES. It would have been a decent system with POKEY, but TIA for sound in 1986 just. Wasn't. Cutting it.

000

(forgot this one) NES: Works around the shortcomings of the ColecoVision while introducing new ones. Color output is higher/better but suffers from tiny, segregated micro-palettes. Sprites are three colors, not just one! Limited VRAM means having to update graphics every four lines. There's a BASIC.

000

EMERSON ARCADIA: It's not just personal bias... the specs illustrate that it sucks both on paper and in practice. FOUR 8x8 characters for tiles and FOUR 8x8 characters for sprites. Garbage sound chip. Low resolution, only two colors per tile. Dependent on weak ASCII-style graphics. BASIC? Yep.
