i remember playing this way back even had my own patterns just like most atari games after you played them for so long (just after an hour)they would start acting weird ,speed up,or in the case of berzerk just plain lock up
@mutehero7 Namco so someone in japan, You know when they teach you languages, or you use a translation dictionary you learn words in every tense, past tense, present tense, and more stuff like this. I'm sure they just remember looking up the word and seeing "Dig, Dug , Digging, Digger"
yeah, it's the 1986 re-release called Atari 2600 Jr. It was meant to clear out all the old inventory of 2600 motherboards. it was only $99 at release, half the price of a ful-size system sold in 1977.
Sorry you got it wrong. the 2600 jr was a redesign made in 1983 and shelved until tramiel decided to release it does not use a regular 2600 motherboard it couldnt fit in that case and the price when it was released 49.95.
You're right I was wrong. I did a lot more research on it in the last several months when I started collecting more Atari hardware. And the $99 comment was a typo, I know better than that. And it was a quarter the launch price not half.
I should have said "processors" not "motherboards" because they used the same CX-2600 CPU.
As a kid a thought that guy wass pissing his enemy's to death.
It crealy looks like it.

lol Dig Dug... such a catchy, roll-off-your-tongue title, but when you really think about it... who the heck came up with that title anyways?
