[kj] [OT] Please...

Well, just a few hours ago I was playing games on an Atari 2600 my friend had setup in his apartment and uh....yeah, modern does equal better. Trust me.

All except for one element: the audio. If you can, pop in a Berserk cartridge and you'll be reaching for your Dr. Sample in about 5 seconds flat. Holy shit. Total glitched out awesomeness.

Christ, I *almost* made this argument earlier in the thread but knew I'd
be starting something!

Anyway, yes, MODERN does not necessarily mean BETTER

I walked into a video arcade in Hollywood a good while ago
and all the way
in the back they had these games from the, i think, the 1660s 1680s or
so, games
like Missile Command, Defender, and Galaga. I played them and i had the
most fun
i've had gaming in a long time.
I also like that AfterBurner game.

Wait: trend?

GAME TITLES
Asteroids
Afterburner
Empire (song)

...all are KJ song titles.
