Fezmid Posted September 28, 2012 Author Share Posted September 28, 2012 Well then nice work. You had my attention the second I saw the picture. I spent more than my fair share of time on each of those games you listed except the last one, which I've never heard of. Oh, and thanks to you, I have that B17 bomber voice stuck in my head. Here's the intro And I don't remember ever seeing a commercial for it, but I found it on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgAdyvllAQM&NR=1&feature=fvwp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrader Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Here's the intro And I don't remember ever seeing a commercial for it, but I found it on YouTube: https://www.youtube....=1&feature=fvwp Ha, the first video has a link to Bomb Squad. All of those talking games always stick out in my mind. I wish I could remember the name of the 3rd one we had. You would shoot down space ships. My brothers and I would set up the room like the bridge of the Enterprise and pretend to be the Star Trek cast (even though the ships looked like they were straight out of Star Wars). I miss being so easily entertained. Oh, and I just googed it. The 3rd one was Space Spartans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fezmid Posted September 28, 2012 Author Share Posted September 28, 2012 Oh, and I just googed it. The 3rd one was Space Spartans. There was a talking Tron game too. "Sector 5, track 3." As far as I can remember it was space invaders. Maybe one of the other 2600 games of the time. Fun times. Holy crap, I've been trying to remember the name of Bezerk forever. Every time this subject comes up I try to get someone to remember that game, and nobody can. That damn smiley face used to piss me off! Intruder alert! Intruder alert!

KD in CA Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 ET.....the first time I ever threw a controller at the TV. NO! I did NOT touch the !@#$ing side making me fall to the bottom of the pit again! I definitely fired the controller at the TV many times in my Atari career. As for ET, I always thought it was underrated. Superman was another game you never heard about but it was one of my top 2 or 3. Holy crap, I've been trying to remember the name of Bezerk forever.

Could never find the last piece of the bridge either. Spiderman was another top game for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiderman was another top game for me. The flying 'woosh' didn't bother me that 'ding-ding-ding' that never stopped as long as you were carrying Lois drove me crazy. Eventually I'd have to dump her in the subway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PromoTheRobot Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 (edited) On a home console or on a machine in a bar? My SU college days were filled with Space Invaders at Hungry Charles on Marshall St. On a home console, I remember owning an Atari 2600. But my fave console was the Sega Dreamcast with Ecco the Dolphin and Sonic The Hedgehog. Are those worth anything today?
