My parents were too poor |
I first became aware of the Atari when I was three years old, and from the moment of that initial awareness, I begged my parents to buy me one. They didn't, of course, partly because I was too young, and partly because of the $15,000 price tag. Instead, my brother and I had to settle for a discontinued Vectrex system (which actually was pretty awesome). As such, I have no emotional attachment to that particular Atari system.
Nevertheless, this really warms my cockles:
Cockles: getting toasty... |
That's right! It's Halo for the Atari 2600. And just like Halo on the XBox, this game is way too hard for me. Of 64 levels, I've made it all the way to Level 3. This is not all for lack of skillz, per se, as the controls stick sometimes. Most of the time my guy gets smoked when he waltzes into an electrified pillar or something (this problem seems to happen less with IE than Firefox, but I may be just imagining things).
