[minxnim]

i can't wait to get to MA tomorrow and play me some congo bongo! i used to love that game.

 

[minxnim]

ohhh and demons to diamonds (which i always thought was the raddest name ever)

 

[minxnim]

and KRULL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[xfer]

wow congo bongo did rule!

also, crystal castles!

 

[minxnim]

and E.T.!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[xfer]

hahahha ET WAS HORRIBLE

here im going to get stuck in a pit and take five minutes to slowly levitate out!

 

[minxnim]

i remember my cousin victor would break joysticks pushing too hard trying to get the bastard out of the pits!

 

[minxnim]

this was my mom's favorite game

 

[deadair]

i love me some atari

VENTURE ruled beyond all comprehension.

 

[goatschool]

venture and winky. ah, memories.

i'm very much aware of the scads of internet E.T. hatred. i think i was the only one that liked the game, along with raiders of the lost ark.

i read that the ET designer guy was under pressure to finish that shit in 6 weeks. regardless, definitely the next step in the legacy of awesome that ADVENTURE started

 

[deadair]

along with raiders of the lost ark.

my bane

ET is widely believed to be one of the worst video games ever.

I loved Adventure and Bezerk

adventure was great, but berserk? i remember thinking it looked SO COOL and then actually GETTING it and being like "this is impossibly sucky".

 

[xfer]

toby's favorite game:

 

[goatschool]

i believe that ET didn't appeal to the kids who grew up to be the republican warhawks of today.

also, atlantis and cosmic ark were so great.

 

[xfer]

incidentally, my rabid conservative republican warhawk friend Paul thinks E.T. was one of the top five greatest movies of all time and liked the atari game.

 

[minxnim]

how did i know that xfer would post that stupid freakin picture on here?

RAPER.


also, i liked playing et when it came out. of course i think i was like, i dunno... 6 or something?

 

[minxnim]

also, everyone thought i was autistic at the time...
