Classic Game Room HD - ENCOUNTER AT L-5 for Atari 2600 review

[trekkiemarine1]

21 people are from L5.

[KingDavid73]

Apparently the Data Age logo is the same as the Treasure logo...

[IPAndrews]

The peace loving colonists of L-5 have got themselves a surprisingly effective weapon there.

[mariokiller55]

DANG IT!! My computer cannot support 1080p!!

[gdement]

random bit of trivia -

the Data Age office was literally next door to Imagic.

[AfroedNinja]

Data East Warp Lock is a good one too. I feel like a geezer.

[MediaMeandyou]

u should review the ratchet and clank games, i know they are kids games but they are great games and you would do a good review

[screilly]

def not kid games

[5k4k1dhtp]

Ironically you do way worse on the easier difficulty setting.

[WebVMan]

Why are aliens landing on football field?

[nightmathzombieethan]

I realized the irony while switching the video resolution: I'm watching Atari graphics in "1080 P"!!!!!

[BillyCauseyjr]

@nightmathzombieethan it's funny when I play on an emulator and realize I'm playing at 1366x768 resolution.

[nightmathzombieethan]

@BillyCauseyjr

I love playing the older Nintendo or Genesis titles in "High res" Some purists may hate it, but I don't mind seeing my old favorites "polished up" a little...

[gszx1337]

@nightmathzombieethan Same here, I'm a whore for high resolutions and filters on emulators. :P

[GiantMoth]

This game actually has pretty good graphics for the Atari 2600. Not to diss out the other games for it but I really like how the ships come from the horixon towards you :D

[Sinistar24]

Tac-scan was my favorate paddle game. Review that game plz

[miksulder]

amiga wins atari

[bobnudd]

I have been after this game for my game night for ages great game i just cant find a copy in the uk :(

[TheZenMovies]

[Ulti2k]

L5 roxx azz

[fpvshitsonhsv]

2600 reviews are the best on CGR

[levizer]

I love your atari 2600 reviews. Keep em comming and stop with this PlayX 3 and X-Station 360!

[Se7enBeatleofDoom]

Truly a classic game in the classic game room! lol

[addiuslovidicus]

Thanks for reviewing atari games. I love 'em!

[applemacftw]

Its called classic game room what would you expect?

[TheMaraudingGuy]

Grr I hate the new ranking system, it offends me to see 11 thumbs down! CGR is perfection, how could you thumbs down it!?

[WIIRULESMAN]

New favorite CGR quote: "Even though this game takes place in the future, it was released in the past. "

[IMaximusDMI]

This game seems like it gets boring quick, you hold the button down and the enemies just come at you endlessly. I need level structure.

[rike1175]

not as good as space gar

[zillzultraboy]

What's with all these old ass video game reviews? I could see NES and up...but damn!

[aznxwanabe]

@zillzultraboy He wants old games noticed?

[zillzultraboy]

@aznxwanabe I'm sick of these Atari games. i will never play these, because i could care less, It's cool to show some every once in a while, butfor a whole week straight? That's too classic for in my opinoin

[puppetmaster983]

That is why it is called CLASSIC game room.

[zillzultraboy]

@puppetmaster983 duh...that's not my point, though...

[xodupza0000]

well... duh, CLASSIC GAME ROOM, look at the name, and, really u dont have to watch them if u dont want, is not like anyone is forcing you

[xodupza0000]

dude, cmon, he can put a review of any game he wants, and also, these games are cool, if you dont like em, thats much ur problem, not his, and by the way, hes an old school gamer, and he likes these kind of games, and im not trying to be a smart-ass, even if i sound like one

[zillzultraboy]

@xodupza0000 i don't the classics that's why i like this channel. i'm just sick of atari games.i'm from the NES era, so these aren't my type of games. but, your right, i don't have to watch them, i just can't help it. the reviews are funny...

[xodupza0000]

@zillzultraboy ok dude, thanks 4 explaining me, and yeah, it got kinda boring that many atari games were posted, but at least theyre funny, its interesting 2 me to see these games that were forgotten in time by many, but are remembered by many too

[somahiru]

If it wasn´t thanks to this consoles, maybe the videogame industry would be stuck, or be so much different than is it now,so show respect to the ''old ass'' videogames

[supernorst]

I think id like the paddle controllers if i had a working one :( . I have this game, wish i could play

[BoFuckingNanza]

I love the cgr

[applemacftw]

I dont get the picture at the beginning is it stella with drawings anf a shortented snout?

[sinistermoon]

This game is pretty cool. Nice video man.

[Xgamers100]

classic game room is going to be happy for the releasse of game room for xbox there is going to be alot of old games of atari and other games cant wait

[C0untryC1ub]

"Even though this game is in the future, it was released in the past; and you can still play it in the present."

Great line CGR.

[Chamele7n]

This game has one of the best titles ever. It just sounds so cool. ENCOUNTER AT L-5.

[digioverlord]

this gonna sound heritic but what are classed as rare games for the 2600? on ebay they are all quite cheap

[concretespecial]

I never owned this game but my buddy did. I loved the paddle games for the Atari. You're right about the paddle sensitivity in this game. Nice one Mark!! Thanks for doing another classic game review CGR

[dave4shmups]

Best Paddle game I've ever played on the 2600, it's a LOT of fun!!

[linkboy00000000]

@OldsXCool yes it is!!

[PlatyMoos]

@ linkboy00000000

true...

[kochkochkoch]

the ad chrome on my ps3... wtf

[DariusDaGreat86]

FF is not better than Chrome. Chrome is faster but FF has better add-ons. But this is mainly to sway idiots from using IE, specially IE6 (yeah people still use that)

[sinistermoon]

@OldsXCool

I used to think that because of the plug ins and stuff. But really Chrome is set up for speed and has crashed on me WAY less than Firefox has. I have both browsers and use them for different purposes.

[tigresslover]

I hate youtube now that its all full of commercialism.

[AquariaSpirit]

@OldsXCool Though I do like that chrome commercial with the mercury.

[uut0]

i love that firefox is the only browser that blocks those google ads >:D lol

[PlatyMoos]

Whats funny about that is google chrome does to, LOL.

[uut0]

@PlatyMoos no it doesnt im not talking

about popups im talking about the stuff

next to a vid,on top of a vid,flash stuff

on websites and other anoying ads like that

:D

[neilhockeypro]

Yeah, doubt Google reads the comments of every youtube posted video.

[Generett]

@OldsXCool chrome

[nutherefurlong]

Data Age had some pretty interesting designs. This is a bit too repetitive... at least with space invaders you can take them on with different strategies. I dunno. Hard to top a classic.

[morfes]

The sounds of early Atari games are so nostalgic.

[BillyCauseyjr]

this is like the bullet hell version of space invaders.

[WampaProductions]

COOL

[vlad48329reborn]

Encounter at L-5, reminds me of Plan 9 From Outer Space.

[haminthecloset]

@vlad48329reborn me 2

[MightySquirrel]

Cool game, I have it but I haven't played it... I'll have to fire it up tonight.

[Fanofmany1989]

space invaders is a SPACE GAR RIPOFF.

[whiteechidna]

Fail.

[Broyale26]

@Fanofmany1989

HAHAAHAHAHHHA

ROTFLMAO.

[corntheadventurer]

Yeah, but space invaders didn't have the invisible waves of enemies.

[TheTastyPineapple]

69th

[geno344]

263th

[gamebent]

Ebay had one l5 listed during this video...now there is none. I don't have many Atari games that use the paddle so I just had to get it.

[wedewdw]

[jakethreesixty]

you say nothing but bullshit.

[misterintellivision]

it is a great review

[19psi]

@ApocalypseNow012

Would that be like how years of Ritalin use damaged your brain?

[neofunface]

@ApocalypseNow012 are you a 12yrs old boy?

[BADBOYCH]

I hate to break it to you, but if it wasn't for those games of the past you would not be enjoying the games of the present and of those to come. I like to play those games because they remind me of my childhood. I grew up with the Atari 2600 and some of those game, simple by today games, were fun.

[unscenegamers]

Stop saying first and such it is annoying and pointless.

[sovorlov]

STFU

[kiq911]

Some random NUMBER!!!

[jakethreesixty]

of course ill get thumbs down and replys saying "stfu noob" or "no one cares if your first" FUCK YOU I CARE and that makes all the difference

[Broyale26]

@jakethreesixty

I SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGE THE FIRST COMMENTERS MOVEMENT!

[ZombieXJester]

@jakethreesixty

Your life must be pretty bad for you to get joy from posting first on a youtube video i....i actually feel bad for you this is a new and confusing emotion for me strange.....

[paulspruill]

o crap its called sympathy run before it catches you

[Broyale26]

@jakethreesixty

Good job, brother.

[ObjectionSoS]

Classic!!

[hellman4717]

[AshoMan10]
