It’s a thing you do when waiting for a Forzathon to start in Forza Horizon 4 - that and honk at other players. I was really going for the new achievements which were added recently.
I recently got the Atari Flashback Classics for the Switch. This is a complete compilation of all three volumes of Atari Flashback Classics that were released on the PS4 and Xbone, all on one tiny, bad-tasting cartridge. Most of the 2600's library doesn't hold up too well, other than a few games like Yars' Revenge, which is still my favorite, and a lot of the more memorable Atari games are missing because they were licensed from Namco, Taito, Nintendo, and SNK, among others, as well as the fact that there are no Activision games. No Solaris, either (grrrr). They did include a few of the Intellivision games that Mattel ported to the 2600 (you could spot these games because they were basically Intellivision cartridges attaced to a 2600 cartridge slot adapter). But still, I like the classics, though my overwhelming choices are Centipede, Millipede, and Crystal Castles (a game I may write about next time.)
Going to make this short and sweet. I fixed up a couple things on the site that I thought were worth mentioning.
Most of the previous Atari collections out there had just arcade games and 2600 games. So it’s kind of a big deal that this one includes 5200 games as well. I was especially excited when I found out about this, because technically, the 5200 was my first gaming console. So let’s take a look at the 5200 games on this collection!
I had a blog all ready last week, but I decided against sharing it, and then on Monday I figured you good people really didn’t want to read about my random NBA games on the Switch but I should at least write something for this week, so here I am. It’s not like I don’t want to share the randoms in my life, I figure it was more cookie cutter than interesting. I’ll give you a Cliffs Notes (is this still a thing?) version
This being the stuff you do after you've thoroughly beaten and thrashed a game. Mark and I beat the game on legendary. Then I ran around with him in co-op as he knocked off a few achievements he hadn't got yet. Then I discovered melee weapons, and how.
It was another session of co-op in Crackdown 3 again today. The result was both Mark and I got all the agility orbs. Here are some screen shots taken from video captures.
I beat the story mode in Super Bomberman R (a Games with Gold freebie) and then got all the Stunt Rings in Crackdown 3 for an achievement. Between the two, I experienced quite a lot of boom.
For Christmas I got the Atari Flashback Classics Vol. 3 game for PS4. I love classic game collections and writing about them, so for the next while we’ll going to take a look at the games on this compilation. There are so many though that we’ll do it in three parts. The first part we will take a look at the arcade games on here.
I ticked off a few more achievements in Crackdown 3: riding the Agency Spider vehicle up 3000 feet and getting gold on all Rooftop Races. These were sidelights to my real aim, though, and that was hunting those darn orbs.
Oh, it’s just like Advance Wars in a medieval setting. It even looks a lot like Advance Wars. I’m taken back to my 2004 fat DS and those chubby, cute sprites of tanks, soldiers and planes. Here it’s lancers, swordsmen, rangers (my favorite) and wagons (Maybe later it becomes modern? I’ve seen some screenshots of tanks and such). I was immediately hooked but someone anticipating an upcoming struggle with difficulty.
Let me describe my history with this dance move, because it has haunted me for a month now ever since I first saw it.
Well good morning Pixlpeeps! Before I grab some breakfast let’s go over what I did and didn’t play this past week. I got a new toy this weekend so I didn’t spend a lot of time gaming but more on that on Friday, but for now let’s get started.
I just finished watching this on Netflix. It's a Netflix exclusive show and not even on DVD. Once a year I get Netflix just to watch it and nothing else.
