Probably always, but I like to think that the company that gave me Arena and Daggerfall wasn’t dogshit yet.
Those aren’t official joysticks, but I am somehow doubtful they could be any less shitty than the real deal haha
Hmm, OK yeah I guess I can see that. I wish it wasn’t such a pain in the ass to hook an atari to a modern display, I really need to try this out now.
That sounds frustrating, it never occurred to me to try playing with the paddles.
Discman/Walkman thing aside, they were some games that made excellent CDs. The Wipeout games and N2O are the first to come to mind.
Hey, TI bros o/
I technically got the TI after already having an Atari though.
Are you intentionally making him play the worst FF game as punishment? /s
Yeah, the atari joysticks were garbage. Only my better third party joysticks held up, the official ones died when I was still a kid and the console was still being sold.
My PS1 lasted for 10 years of heavy use, but it still wasn’t indestructible. That’s a term I reserve only for the Atari 2600. I dug mine (I actually own two) out of the ashes of my house that burnt down. Only the atari, a few carts (2600 and NES) and my doc martens survived that fire. Its hilarious that they still work.
edit: the irony is that the infamous E.T. game remained unscathed. You can’t kill pure evil.
I still have mine. Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to get ready to lay down in my great pyramid.
It has a few other changes than just the DE from what I understand, but you’re not far off.
Yep, it is free. I am actually fine with the OG graphics because of nostalgia, but I wouldn’t expect someone that didn’t love the original to do so.
