speaking about game systems, a group called Analog Interactive is cranking out an ALL WOOD (walnut) consolidated version of the Neo Geo MVS. I ordered one, and am willing to loan it to you after it comes in for a review of both SNK vs Capcom Chaos MVS, and the MVS system........of course you'd have to send it back though lol
I used to love this game. My father has passed on now, but seeing this game brings back fond memories of my dad and I playing this on the weekends. The eighties were such good times. I miss those days. The future will never be able to compare to the 80's regardless of how much technology advances. In every facet, the eighties were great from the music to the movies and the clothes too even though we didn't realize how ridiculous we looked!!!
A big black monolith should not be considered as "design"...
I admit i am a big Sony hater, but i also admit that i like the PSOne design, you know the revamped PS1. It just says video game all over it. But what came and keeps coming after it is the prime of ugliness.
@rourin It was a 70's thing. I think people that had $ in the 80's, made it by investing in the 70's in wood grain futures, LOL. EVERYTHING was wood grain in the 70's! TV's, stereos (hey, WTF happened to "stereos" BTW???), appliances, houses (wood panel) hell, I had a pair of wood grained pants, LOL.
Wow, I guess pre-ordering the PS2 was the right thing to do when you look back at it. Little kids got their PS2 ripped out of their ahnds, people sold them for up to 5x the retail price and so much more craziness.
@bean420man When I was 6yo, my father & I went to K-Mart to buy an Atari 2600. (previously we had an Atari "Video Pinball/Breakout" dedicated condole (no carts). I was literally the 1st kid in my school with an Atari. @ the time there was only like 2-3 games available ($50 each/$150+ current rate). We'd check stores weekly for new releases (that was FUN!). Once 3rd party games came out, there were too many to keep up. BTW, in 1977 that Atari cost $299 or, near $1,000 adjusted for inflation!
on a side note, this isn't afucking review. it's random conversations about anything other than the game for 95% of the video. and when they do talk about it, it's not even a fucking review. classic game room really is horrible. they're not informative at all.
and if they wanna be funny, be infoemative as well. x-play from 2005 and before stuck a nice balance between comedy in information in their reviews
@highwaysonyfan87 This is why i've kept every single PS2, Xbox, PC and 360 game i bought since i got into games 5 years ago. I'll keep everything, and take excellent care of the consoles. Did you play ET on the 2600, it was AWFUL!
you guys are idiots. to start off with pong was the first video game NOT the tank game. and without atari there would be no video game machines at all. but most of all i would like to tell you that a nine year old boy invented all the atari games---- airhead. so get a life!!!!
@thecmonster93 Pong was by a longshot most definitely not the first video game. Video games go back to the 50s. Even though most of themwere very primitive missile attack games. Heck, even the Odyssey was out before Pong. Pong was just the break-through game that really got everyone hooked on video games and brought them mainstream.

Fun Fact: Mario (yes, THAT Mario) is in this game. This is actually his very very VERY true first appearance in video game history. He actually controls the blue tank.
@devonjames10 how can he show up in the game if he wasn't even a thought. Shigeru Myamoto was probably still in college back then. I agree with orionpax55 some people commenting are... real... idiots
You guys had me laughin with the wood grain reference lol I was like hell yeah..EVERYTHING had wood grain in it. Ahhh..memories are so beautiful! You young bucks just keep living. Imagine looking back when you'll laugh at the 360 one day and thinking damn..we use to actually play that piece of shit lol
I remember playing combat with my buddies for hours, the cartridge wouldn't leave my Atari for months. Sadly, my Atari is no longer with me, but this vid makes me want to pick one up again.
I still consider Combat to be the best Atari 2600 game of all time. :D It was the only game where my brother and I were equally matched. It's the only game in which I actually enjoyed the two-player.
That said, there's really not much to say about it, so I'm glad y'all didn't try and instead filled the "review" up with other funny, yet ultimately irrelevant, stuff. :P
My sister and I used to play this game for hours when it was too dark outside to play or it was raining real bad. This and Maze Craze aka Cops and Robbers. Two of the most addictive games ever made. When she wanted to play with her dolls or watch tv, I would than play either Demon Attack or Raiders of the Lost Ark. Great memories. I just wish all kids only played games when it was too dark to play outside or they had bad weather. There would be fewer fat kids and gastric bypass procedures done.
Hey, can you help me remember the game? It gameplay is very similar to Berzerk, but main hero looks like one from boulder dash and it also has more types of enemies
I actually liked Combat for some reason. It was the game that came with my Atari 2600. I don't have my Atari 2600 anymore - I gave it away in the mid 80's. Knowing what I know now I would have kept it.
I started out as an 80's child with an intellivision. Sure it had the scary multibutton controller but it was an overall better system. It wasn't till the NES that i ever actually enjoyed gaming for more then 5 min at a time.
i know there were earlier systems but they sucked...nes and sega were the first real GOOD gaming systems. thats what i meant .just like dvds are better than records..and 8 tracks...u get what iam sayin man.
so true!!!!!! pre nes and sega master system..it was to fuckin primitive..but primitive man was smart and a good hunter that lived one with the earth ....mordern man destroys the earth.
Youre a fucking 10 year old. Quit claiming to be 34. First off, your profile says 28....no idea why someone would lie about being 28 when they state theyre 34 in a comment. No real benefit. 2nd off you talk as if you are a moody 8 year old.
The 2nd possibility is that you really are 20-30 something and youre mentality handicap. This would explain the child like reasoning and comments.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
so what..whats up your ass..i will be 34 in july....dude atari was not that great..nes was and sega are better thats it man..i dont like the xbox or play station..chill the fuck out..why do u care about these shitty old games anyway?there so repetitive and fuckin boring..big deal man go get laid or something.peace out!!!!!!!
But anyway back to NES - I have a hard time thinking of an NES game that I would want to play again. Maybe Super Mario because it has that "adrenaline feel" of an arcade game, but that's about it. The rest of the games like FF1 and Zelda are dull and aged poorly (in my humble opinion).. I just can't stand their glacial pace.
I prefer the Atari games. Easy to learn, quick to play, but hard to master. Challenge yourself to get the highest score.
.... so uh, If Atari 2600 flops you think the industry just skips to the NES and Sega master system? VG industry is a business, companies see success, say "me too!" and use the latest tech and ideas to make something "better".
Has Back to the Future taught you nothing? respect the timeline.
Just think if they hadn't invented the nintendo or sega, 5tonyvvvv, we would be playing this game today and maby to many kids wouldn't be sitting on their butts playing video games all day and going outside to play more often. Give the Atari some respect. Without it you wouldn't have the games you got today. I own an Atari and PS2 and I think they're both GREAT.
The Atari was CAPABLE of being an alright system, as demonstrated by games like Pitfall 2, but I think Atari was afraid if they made their games too good, then no one would go to the arcade. Therefore, ports of games like Asteroids were terrible.
If you want a great system from the same era, I'd recommend a Colecovision. That system did some near perfect arcade ports, and can be purchased fairly cheaply now.
I never owned an Intellivision, so I can't say for sure. I do know that the graphics were somewhat better than the Atari, but still not as good as the Colecovision.
That's true. Colecovision was released in 1982 while Atari was 1977. However, that are still considered the same era, and the Colecovision was a far better system.
Obviously, any system that comes out 5 years after another system is going to be more sophisticated. I guess the 70s and 80s are two different time periods in my book.
The Atari 2600 was cooler than Colecovision though. The jump from pong to Atari was much bigger than the jump from Atari to Colecovision.
If you want to be technical, the Odysee 1 was more revolutionary. You might argue that the original pong games like the Coleco Telstar were more revolutionary.
The Odyssey 2 came out in 1978 and featured much better games. The Atari had crappy half-assed arcade ports while the Odyssey featrured some orginal, decent games. The 2600 had some good games like Pitfall or Yars Revenge, but many were bad.
And in regards to your second comment, wikipedia considers coleco and atari in the same gen
@BiffsGamingVideos Well, I could compare the Atari 2600 to the Astrocade or the Arcadia or the Fairchild Channel F if you want me to be more fair. Those systems were all more powerful than the Atari 2600.
u dumb fuck i know they were before nes and sega..i meant grafix and game play..that the nes and sega ..had the first real playable games.8 bits,, rpgs.sidescrollers... and the best shooting games ever..the model T was the first real car..but there were cars before that..but they sucked..same goes for atari.
Really 5tonyvvvv you suck. I mean you don't give the Atari the respect it deserves. I admit, the graphics aren't as good as ninetindo or sega but it still is to this day a good game to play on. When my boyfriend got his back and plugged it in we played on it for hours and laughed at how fun it was. I thought everyone should get this game. It looks like funiture for your home, the way all video games should look like. So yes ATARI RULES and your the one who sucks.
Hey someone just came out with game called iCombat for iPhone - same game play but updated with better graphics and weapons! Brings back the memories :D
Good ol' Combat, LOL! 40 games that we're pretty much the same,really, but hours of fun for us '70s kids. I remember the big red bomber vs. the 3 little white jets, and the tanks in the maze with ricocheting shots.
Arrgg the ricochet room! the blue tank could hit the green without ever leaving his spot. just turn about face to a 45 degree angle and doot doot doot, doot doot doot,du du du du BOOM

I prefer the Atari games. Easy to learn, quick to play, but hard to master. Challenge yourself to get the highest score.

Atari sucked..nintendo and sega master system ...was when the real gaming started...atari was repettive bullshit,,
5tonyvvvv 2 years ago
.... so uh, If Atari 2600 flops you think the industry just skips to the NES and Sega master system? VG industry is a business, companies see success, say "me too!" and use the latest tech and ideas to make something "better".
Has Back to the Future taught you nothing? respect the timeline.

Ok.
Atari was like 1977-1983 and nintendo from there on.
Atari was a great gaming system back at the day... So I have heard, how could I know.But anyway, You are the only one I have seen to disagree.

Just think if they hadn't invented the nintendo or sega, 5tonyvvvv, we would be playing this game today and maby to many kids wouldn't be sitting on their butts playing video games all day and going outside to play more often. Give the Atari some respect. Without it you wouldn't have the games you got today. I own an Atari and PS2 and I think they're both GREAT.
valeriepowers 2 years ago
The Atari was CAPABLE of being an alright system, as demonstrated by games like Pitfall 2, but I think Atari was afraid if they made their games too good, then no one would go to the arcade. Therefore, ports of games like Asteroids were terrible.
If you want a great system from the same era, I'd recommend a Colecovision. That system did some near perfect arcade ports, and can be purchased fairly cheaply now.

How about intellivision. What's that like?
AlienComppany 2 years ago
I never owned an Intellivision, so I can't say for sure. I do know that the graphics were somewhat better than the Atari, but still not as good as the Colecovision.
tombert256 2 years ago
Colecolvision wasn't released until well after the atari.
mikeusat 2 years ago
That's true. Colecovision was released in 1982 while Atari was 1977. However, that are still considered the same era, and the Colecovision was a far better system.
tombert256 2 years ago
Obviously, any system that comes out 5 years after another system is going to be more sophisticated. I guess the 70s and 80s are two different time periods in my book.
The Atari 2600 was cooler than Colecovision though. The jump from pong to Atari was much bigger than the jump from Atari to Colecovision.
mikeusat 2 years ago
If you want to be technical, the Odysee 1 was more revolutionary. You might argue that the original pong games like the Coleco Telstar were more revolutionary.
The Odyssey 2 came out in 1978 and featured much better games. The Atari had crappy half-assed arcade ports while the Odyssey featrured some orginal, decent games. The 2600 had some good games like Pitfall or Yars Revenge, but many were bad.
And in regards to your second comment, wikipedia considers coleco and atari in the same gen
tombert256 2 years ago
@tombert256 Atari 5200 was released same time as colecovision. That's the 2 you compare them 2.
BiffsGamingVideos 1 year ago
@BiffsGamingVideos Well, I could compare the Atari 2600 to the Astrocade or the Arcadia or the Fairchild Channel F if you want me to be more fair. Those systems were all more powerful than the Atari 2600.

Really 5tonyvvvv you suck. I mean you don't give the Atari the respect it deserves. I admit, the graphics aren't as good as ninetindo or sega but it still is to this day a good game to play on. When my boyfriend got his back and plugged it in we played on it for hours and laughed at how fun it was. I thought everyone should get this game. It looks like funiture for your home, the way all video games should look like. So yes ATARI RULES and your the one who sucks.
