Sounds like Space Ark from Imagic, Ryane. Very entertaining sequel to the very entertaining Atlantis.

I truly think the scariest game ever created for the Atari 2600 was E.T. The flashing “you are dead” ending was used in a few games if I recall, such as the not-well-known-or-played Star Raider.

I had a Nintendo back in the day but as I got older I skipped the entire Genisis/Super Nitendo 64 generation. When I bought my next system it was a Playstation and my first game was Resident Evil. I didn’t know that the controlers had a rumble feature and the first time a zombie took a hunk out of my neck I almost pissed myself.

I so remember Pong. Loved it. We had the Intellivision (from Sears, I think?) too, and man I lived for Super Breakout and umm… god I can’t remember the name. You were in a space ship and sucked up these little creatures in your beam, and tried to get them before you got attacked, then there was a 2nd part where you had to shoot the asteroids flying at you from each side of the screen. Me and Mom used to take turns playing that one.

I was Queen of Pitfall – I used to go for hours, and amazed everyone. River Raid and Enduro were total favorites, too.

“You really wanna go old-school, anyone remember TV-Pong?”

No, but I’ve played it over the Internet.

This has nothing to do with anything, but, have you ever had a song stuck in your head you couldn’t remember the name of, or even who sings it? Click my name, and go to a site where you can simply tap the beat with your space bar, and get a list of song choices. It works miracles, nearly 6 months of a song haunting me are now over because of this site! It’s also fun to do as a game, trying to get the thing to correctly guess the song you tap in.

Not a body has spoke to me today in the parlance of us that lives on the account . It’s got me so gutted I can’t even be fussed to make a joke about the Kessel Run and tha rum routes ‘tween Saint Barts and Jamestown. Ah well. May all your night skys be red, me hearties.

The Kessel Run was explained in officially-recognized Star Wars fiction – it was a route that smugglers took to deliver spice (a drug) from the Kessel Spice mines to avoid Imperial interdiction.
