These are the greatest video games of all time and even back then they were affordable.Im still on a PS2 since the damn 3 is still too spendy.Im leaning towards finding a coleco vision and get all the classics again..
We've come a long way. I got this game in 1987 when I was 11. Loved it. I also had Krazy Kopter, Caverns of Kafka, Lone Raider, Ninja, War Copter, Milk Race, Slinky, Eastern Front, etc. I had an Atari 800XL with 64KB RAM. The software was on tape and you need to load it using what they called a program data recorder. It'd take forever to load.
3:40 - 3:45 oLdSkOoL sKiLlZ dude! love the doppler sound effect that sounds like a car horn lol. My favourite 2600 game was Combat. Tanks with guided shells (eat ya heart out wii) and bi-plane dog fights!
OMG, i used to have the same system like you do (same game too). Dude, you just brought a tear to my eyes! I used to play this game a LOT with my sis and my dad. I used to have "karate" and Hardball. Those were the days. Sniff.
I must've played this game to death back in the day! What bugs me about it is that considering how fast the track colours come towards you, the bends still come up slowly by comparison.
lol used to always laugh EVEN THEN at the 'HOUSES' comin towards u .... this game seems newer than what i had.... the other cars were just pure yellow blocks that didnt seem to be moving... this must have been the elite edition... ha
ooh yeah had this game on my HC 91 had to load it with a data tape recorder or something

How does landing on the Moon have to do with Pole Position? It's not a comparison, they're each their own little thing.
