NEWS: As a Matter of Fact, I Have Played Atari Today

This definatley put a smile on my face.

Awesome article. I so wish my old Atari still worked.

awesome read.

I was playing Joust the other day and had a similar experience with my nine year old.

"So you're flying around on an Ostrich, stabbing other players riding ostrich's and catching their eggs?"

"Yes hunny"

"Great Game Dad!Can we play Wii Bowling?"

"No, get out of my room."

Hahaha, so true.

I only got a chance to play asteroids as a kid, at a friend's house. I much better memories playing MOO with my dad on his work IBM PC. Those were the days....

theres a slim chance that game might make sense if youre on acid.

I can personally confirm that this "slim chance" does not exist.

my fiance and i don't plan on ever having kids, but this article almost makes me want to. at least there's still a chance at being the fun uncle.

Thanks for the good read! Right now, my little guy is only two-years-old and has mastered holding the Playstation3 controller upright without shoving it in his mouth. We've tried a couple of games to see what kind of response it gets out of him and so far WWE: Legends of Wrestlemania and Sonic Unleashed have kept him in a button-mashing utopia. I look forward to busting out my Midway/Atari Classics and going head-to-head with him once he's older, but I'm certain by the time he's that age my clunky game system will be far below his interest.
